Show Fishing Fleet Conducts Funeral for Ghost Ship The Flying Dutchman, encountered istially in the neighborhood of Cape Horn, and prophesying disaster at :hat most dreaded ocean corner. Is :he most famous of ghost ships, but now we bear that another sinister vessel has taken to appearing and lisappearing In the South seas. It ;akes the form of a phantom launch, which haunts the fishing grounds near Chatham Islands, a lonely outpost out-post 400 miles southeast of New Zealand. Four years ago the craft was first reported, and soon afterwards a launch In which 11 fishermen were going to a football match foundered, ill being drowned. More recently 9 .onely fisherman claimed to have seen It ; a few days later he was swept overboard to oblivion by a neavy sea. Perhaps with the idea of jxorcising this grim visitant, the ) svliole fishing fleet assembled on the approximate spot, and held a solemn funeral service. The ghostly launch s said to appear In misty weather jnd to travel at supernatural speed. |
