Strange But True

By P. Ii. MacArthur

A tomb recently discovered in the mountain region of Mongolia was lined with petrified logs. It held the well--preserved mummies of a man and a girl. The body of the man was completely cover- ed with tattoo markings.

Numerous musical instruments were found beside the body oi the

girl.

The tomb also contained a. gild- ed chariot. bronze mirrors, ornate tables, leather carpets. jewelry and dyed f-urs.

This sounds like an impossible accident, but believe me it does belong to the realm of fact. Here's the starry told very briefly:

As George Rozema dirove h-is au- tomobile along Ottawa Beach in Holland, Michigan, a wind storm lifted a row-boat from a bayou at the edge of the road and hurl- ed it into the side of the earl

People really went into mourn- ing for their dead A few centur- ies ago. Bed hangings were black, and coaches were painted black with black hangings. Funerals were conducted at night and bells were tolled. It was then the law that all dead persons be placed in wooden coffins.

During the reign of George II, of England, prisons were dens of vice and hot beds of disease, es- peclally of the dreaded prison fever. Men known as "Barkers shouted outside the Fleet prison to passesrs-by to come in and be married for 203. Any unfortunate young man or girl who fell into the hands of these scoundrvels was married by one or another of the wretched clergy imprisoned for debt, or even by impostors who were not clergyman at all. In this way many innocent victims were lnveigled into marriage by rascals only out for money or blackmail. Eventually t.he scandals of Fleet marriages became so great that they were forbidden by law-

One of the most amazdnz 03893 of 17th century America was that of New England's ghost shtp.

John Winthrop, in his "journal" 1930-49 records the story.

It runs about like this: On Jun:-. 28, 1648, a 300-ton ship. the "Welcome", of Boston, plunged and rolled for in hours in a very calm sea. before scores of wit- nesses. And strange but 13116 I-M rolling took place after the ear- ecutlon of a witch.

Her name was Margaret Jones, of Charlestown, who did quite I business in psychic. While her drugs were on the whole made up of herbs their effects were some- times very violent. Faith was a large part of the remedy as in- deed it is in our time.

Margaret was lcncwm. too. for her evil touch She had only 90 place her hand on a. person when he or she would be seized with violent pains in the tummy.

Came the day when Margaret was hustled off to jail and gltven the usual once over for devil's marks etc. None could be found. But her Jalior coming past the door in daylight, swore that lic'd seen the woman musing a phantom child that rose and van- ished before his eyes. That was all the evidence they needed in New England in those days. soon she was dangling from the end of a rope. Then began her revenge s- gaiiist the country.

History records the amazing fact that, on the day of her ex- ecution, n great wind storm d-id heavy damage to property: I mis- tress of Wlllys of Dieter. was dras- ged from the river, her neck broken in the same manner as Margaret": -. by the haninn-m's
