Legends Of - P. E. Island

‘IEIPIANTOMSED

(By Uncle Joe)

Maybe the Micmac Indians liv- ing along the south shore rubbed their eyes in wonder as they watch- ed her passing in the distance. And perhaps her presence in the Strait of Northumberland was often discussed within their wigwams while their red-skinned youngsters listened in awed silence. We have no records with which to prove or disprove what might have been.

But with the coming of the first settlers to the district We now know as Argyle Shore, we havc a story of the sea, a mystery which remains unsolved even in our gen eration, and one which may never be solved by succeeding genera- tlons.

It is the legend of the phantom ship. Persons who claimed ic have seen her said she was a full rigger of large tonnage; with tat- tered sails whose ragged ends blew out loose from the boltropes in a most untidy fashion! And sha was flying a signal of distress.

Fisher folk tell of sighting the strange craft in the early hours of dawn, and declare they could dis- tinctly see figures of people and dogs running along the deck alt.

But where she came from or where she was going none could guess. She was known only as the mystery ship, a phantom of the waves, that sailed the strait once every decade and then disappeared.

Fishermen tried in vain to over- haul her. Llke a mirage she would vanish before their eyes and they would return to shore thwarted and bedeviled in their purpose.

The years rolled by, and wiLh

O O O

every decade that passed into hist- ory came the phantom ship, travci- ing the same course and always ap- pearing in the hour just before daybreak.

In the tiny fishing shacks along the south shore a younger genera- tion of men told their tales about the sea, and especially the one about the ghost ship. No doubt most of them had heard the tale many times from the lips of their fathers, before they were old enough to go to sea themselves. Now they were grown men with fishing ships of their own, and some of them had gazed upon thc strange vessel and no doubt won- dered, as did their fathers before them, what the meaning of it all could be. -

A few advanced the theory that she was one of Captain Kidd's ves sels seeking a quiet inlet or cove where her blood-thirsty pirate crew could hide the treasure lifted from unfortunate ships that happened to fall into their hands.

But this new theory was no bet- ter than the old ones. Every ton years the ghost ship came and went on her mysterious voyages, gm] time marches on.

The phantom ship was last sight- ed in the fall of 1943. Will she again make her appearance in 1953? Well, only the future can decide that. In the meantime, we must be content to remember her as the lezendary lhip that sailed the Strait of Northumberland.

DOROTHY DIX SAYS-

Young Mother Needs Help

Husband Should Help Wish Housework If Hulnoniy Possible

DEAR. MISS DIX: Before our little daughter was born three months ago, my husband and I were very happy. Now I am very much peeved with him because I expected him to give me a hand with my work and he refuses to do it. I tell him it is a father's as well as a mother's job to rear the children, and I would like him to change the baby's diaper or heat the baby's bottle while I am busy doing other things. Also, I think he should help with the wash on Saturday mornings. but he just won't do it.

He tells m'e he works harder in his five days than I do in all my seven. This may be true, but I am worn out keeping my house clean, doing the cooking and . giving my baby all the necessary attention.

What do you think about it?

ANSWER: Certainly nobody outside of the chain gang has to work so hard and so incessantly as the young mother, for hers is the labor that never is done. Unless she is able to hire servants-and good cooks and nurses are as scarce as hens‘ teeth these days-her job is a per-- petuai motion one in which she is always cooking and washing and baby-tending, night and day, and there is no rest for the weary.

A YOUNG MOTHER

FEW UNDERSTANDING HUSBANDS

Such being the case, it would seem that a loving husband would help with the housework and the baby-tending and try to save his over- worked wife a few million steps every day. But, alas, such is seldom the case. Only husbands who have embryonic angel wings sprouting on their shoulders realize what slaves mothers with young children are and how sorely they need help in rearing their youngsters.

Of course, when Friend Husband comes home from work he is tired, too. He also has been on a nervous strain all day and he would like to slump down on the couch and take it easy until dinner is ready. More than that, he feels that he is being persecuted if he has to help with his wife's work as well as do his own.

All of which is true. The husband does need his rest, but whether he is entitled to it or not depends upon whether his wife is a big, strong, healthy woman, or n frail little bundls of nerves. The able- bodied “Yomun should shoulder her own part of the domestic load, but the husband of the delicate woman- should love her enough to pinch-hit for her if necessary.

Before every girl marries she should go and spend a week with her married sister and see her wrestle with the cooking stove and the wash tub and the baby problem and keeping the house clean, and then she will know if she has the physical stamina to tackle the job. Or else she had better-pick out for her husband a man who just loves to cook and change the baby.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl of 29 years of age. Have been going steady for a year and a half with a boy who is five years my junior. He says that some day he will marry me, but he keeps putting it off with an excuse, and waiting for him is getting me down.

Should I break off with him and seek a new acquaintance?“

RUT

ANSWER: You certainly should. You are wasting your time on this lad. The man who courts and courts but never pops the question has no serious intentions. He just enjoys being with a nice girl who is good company and whose mother is a crackerjack cook, and he lets mat- ters drift until some day you will get an invitation to his wedding to another girl.

In this case the cards are all against you. Your dilatory Romeo is five years your junior and you are 29 years old, with no time to waste. So my advice to you is to just face the fact that there is no use in waiting for him any longer. Break off with him and seek a new boy friend who is older than you are and who is ready to marry and settle down.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a high school girl and I like a certain boy very much, but he and I look so much alike that we might be taken for brother and sister. We have the same_ colored hair and eyes, He is just a little taller than I am. We are in the same grade at school and are the same age. We like the same games and to go to the same. places.

Do you think I could be right in believing that he must be meant for me?

CURIOUS

ANSWER: Fiddlesticks! There is no meaning to your chance re- semblance except that you are two good-looking blonde kids. Nobody is destined to marry someone who has been earmarked for him or her. Propinquity and chance are the great matchmakers.
