Hearken unto the tales, my hearties, as told by the unimaginative officers of the gal- want chip to The Evening World's un- eephisticated ship news reporter. The little 700 ton Nepo of the Booth Line ie the nightmare ship that plys between New York and the Lami o’ Horrors, said land lying 2,600 miles up the Amason River. Every eleven weeks the Napo steams up the bay to her Pier in South Brooklyn and every eleven wats her stalwart officers tell tales that would make @ session of the Ad- venturers’ Club seem ifke a meeting of the Dorcas Society. But to begin The Napo left New YorR eleven weeks ago under @ serious handicap. She had a Johah aboard and those who ea!l the seven seas know that & Jonah aboard means as much luck as comes to a man who walks under a series of la@ers, breaks mirrors and sees the moon over his left shoulder. The Jonah of the Napo was the mess room steward, Bruce Wallace Mac- Duff. Bruce Wallace, etc, was born under an unlucky star. He never had good luck himself and brought evil days upon all who ever associated with him. He was wont to boast of the fact and they of the Napo knew him and his Past, but they needed a mess room steward ami MacDuff was chosen. TURKEY TROT FEVER HITS THE OLD BARK, Before the little Napo had rounded Hatteras the Jonah’s luck began. The whole ship's crew was awakened one night to find the ship pitching about like a thing demented, The engines were working well enough, no leaks had sprung, the sea was calm, but the Napo Pitched, swerved and banged about like @ barrel in the maelstrom, Day after the Napo's unexplainable conduct ‘Unued.

But this ts getting ahead of the story. Para was reached, and while the Napo was pounding slong on her @elirious way the sun was suddenly darkened by a black cloud that reached from the horizon to the zenith, No Pereeptible causo was disclosed by the Darometer, the sea was calm and the Winde were still, but there directly in her course was a hurricane the like of Which the Napo'’s men had never seen om land and sea. And then the Napo wobbled her nose directly into the mid- le of it. There was & soond that was Geafening and then dull thuds were added to the clamor, IT RAINED, NOT CATS AND DOGS, BUT FLYING FISH. “It was a storm of flying fish,” sald First Mate T. G. Evans. “There were millions and trillions and thousands of them, and they swept across us like flying rooks. We were forced to lle flat on the decks on our faces to save ourselves from Injury. For nigh an hour the storm continued, and then the fun broke forth once more, The decks of the Napo were piled high with dead and dying fish, and we had to get the Officers of the “Nightmare” ‘Ship That Found ‘‘Jonah’’ Aboard on Trip From “Land of Horrors’’ ing World by a Staff Photograph Photographed Es: O00 000000000000 000000000) ing the night the ship moved very slowly with double lookouts, and even at that the officers and crew were folted out of their bunks on in- numerable occasions when the night- mare ship ran on « gigantic and float- ing tree amidships. And when this occurred the ship had to reverse and swing toward one or the other bank to jet the monster logs paas by. At other times it was necessary to lower a boat and set the crow to work with pike poles to clear away the forest attached to the ship's bow. But after many startling moments and thrilling hours the nightmare ship reached her Gestinalicn, iquitos, Peru, 60) miles as the crow flies from the Pacific Ocean. Here she took aboard her cargo of rubber and nuts. HERE'S THE ORIGIN OF PAINTED STOCKINGS. ‘The Napo's officers have found a won- drous change in the social life in and about Iquitos since their previous visit. Heretofore it has been the custom of the maids and matrons ar.d the mon and youths of the Chubeco, Yacuna, Putu- mayo Indian tribes to wander about the wilds and enter the towns arrayed as Adam and Eve were before the ad- vent of the serpent and fhe apyle epi- node. But all that is changing. Since the bashful chaps of the Napo have been visiting the Putumayo wilds the lads and lassies, particularly the latter, have realized what Eve realized after the gates of Eden were slammed o1 her. Eve decked herself out with fig leaves, but the coy maids of the upper Amazon have gone Eve one better. When the Indian lassies are in the open country, frequented by tiger cats, siithery pythons and other things that make for spinal shivers, they go a# they please, but when they enter the towns, particularly Iquitos, visited by the Na- po's gallant lads, they get busy with makeup. With the aid of ochre and other colors they paint clothes on their nakedness. Now when a belle of the Putumayo comes to town she ts liable to have a pair of stockings painted on her legs. Some even overdress, accord- ing to the Napo men, and paint sleeves on themselv: But it was on the return trip down the Amazon that the Napo made a startling discovery of interest to science, Particularty fishologists. H. W. Pell, the ship's third mate, was the Doctor Cook ~pardon—discoverer in this instance. It was Pell'a watch. The Napo was four knotting an hour down the turbulent stream when the “third” was awakened trom his revertes—reveries is ever good —by the sound of sweet singing. The “third’ could not believe his ears, He awoke Mate Evans; they awoke Cuptain known as “the old man” to his juniors; they all awoke the chief engineer, and lastly the ship's crew, and for hours as the Napo steamed through the Bgyptian night they hearkened to the music, It was the Lorele!. With the brenk of day the seamen discovered the cause of the music, It was a fish known in those parts as the Flukutoo—got the spelling from the first mate—or singing fiwh, Night after night for almegt a weok the Napo's men and officers’ lis- tened to the bass notes of the Flukutoo fish as it warbled through the Stygian | gloom.
