MYSTERIES OF THE SEA
“Tlie sea does not olTei; terms to those who have business upon it” (writes George Blake in “Joliu o’ London’s Weekly”). “The sea is utterly inscrutable, splendidly indifferent, and men venturing upon tlie sea take their lives in their hands. That is why the challenge of tho sea to adventurous man is irresistible; that is why stories of the sea are tho. best stories in the world; that is why the mysteries of misadventure at sea arc the deepest and darkest anil most fascinating mysteries of all. What happened to tho Waratah? How deep lies the aeroplane of Nungesser, and where on the wastes of the Atlantic does tlie Frenchman’s body 'welter to the parching winds’? How came it that the Mary Celeste was found abandoned near the Azores in 1572, and never a word of her crew and passengers from that day to this? A man may brood endlessly over such questions.”
