A Mystery of the Gulf.

| WHAT THE PHENOMENAL LIGHTS SEEN IN THE LOWER ST. LAWRENCE PORTEND TO rHE CANADIAN FISHERS.

| { ¢ ‘Or. N. rc i Mizamicut, N. B., Aug. 27.—The mys- terious lights in the Gulf and the Lower j St. Lawrence, those sure precursors of a tempestuous fall with grievous shipwrecks, | have been unusually brilliant this season. | The light off the Cape of Maria Cascapediac ‘has blazed almost every night since May ,15. Inthe Baie des Chaleurs, the Point Mizzenette light has been seen nightly by hundreds of people from the settlements of | New Bandon, Grand Anse, Caraguette and | Salmon Beach. The habitant says they are / supernatural manifestations, marking scenes of wreck and murder, or warning the sailor of great tempests, while the English settlers | think they are the Will-o’-the-wisps of the ocean. Whatever they may be, it is a fact established by the experience of a century that when they blaze brightly in the sum- mer nights the fall is invariably marked by great storms. One would think on looking at these mysteries from the shore that a ship was on fire. The heavens behind are bright and the clouds above silvered by the reflection. The sea for half a mile is cov- ered with a sheen as of phosphorus. The lire itself seems to consist of blue and yel- low flames, now dancing high above the water, and then flickering, paling and dying out, only to spring up again with fresh briliancy. Jf a boat approaches, it flits away, moving further out, and the bold visitor pursues in vain. At the first break of daylight it vanishes in the form of a mist, and is seen no more until darkness again sets in. These lights are brightest when there is a heavy dew, and are plainly visible from the shore from midnight until two in the morning. They appear to come in from the sea shoreward, and at dawn re- tire gradually, and are lost in the morning fog.

Paradio, the French pilot who took charge of the British fleet under Admiral Sir Hovenden Walker when it sailed up the St. Lawrence from Boston to seize Quebec in 1711, declared he saw one of these lights just before that armada was shattered on the 22nd August; in fact, he said it danced before his vessel the Neptune all the way up the Gulf. Walker’s squadron comprised the tlag-ship Edgar, 70 guns ; the Windsor, GO guns; the Montague, 60 guns; the Swiftsure, 70 guns; the Monmouth, 70 guns; the Dundkirk, 60 guns; the Humber, 80 guns; the Sunderland, 60 guns; the Devonshire, 80 guns; the Enterprise, 40 guns; the Sapphire 40 guns; the Kingston, 6O guns; the Leopard, 54 guns; and the Chester, 50 guns, with no less than 70 transports, of which the Despatch, Four Friends, Francis, John and Hannah, Hen- rietta, Blessing, Antelope, Hannah and Elizabeth, Friend’s Adventure, Rebecca, Martha and Hannah, Johanna, Unity and Newcastle were from New England ports.

On leaving Boston Sir Hovenden drew from Governor Dudley rations for 9,385 Englishmen, seamen and _ soldiers, and 1,786 colonists on board the fleet. On the 20th August when they lay off Egg Island on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, having just cleared Gaspe Bay a dense fog fell upon them. The Admiral ordered the vessels to keep together, and soundings were taken every half hour, but the lead gave no bottom. On the night of the 22nd Paradis lost his head and signalled for the fleet to close upon the shore. While they were moving slowly a dreadful gale arose, and Sir Hovenden said in his journal which was published in London in 1720: ‘‘We soon found ourselves amongst rocks and small Islands, fifteen leagues further than the log gave, when the whole fieet had like to have been lost.” ‘But by God’s good providence,’ he goes on, ‘‘all the men-of- war, though with extreme hazard and diffi- culty, escaped. Hight transports were cast away, and had I not made the signals as I did, but continued sailing, it is a great question whether any ship or men had been saved.”

After the wreck the roster showed only 8,878 survivors. The Labrador shore, says the historian Charlevoix, was strewn with the bodies of at least a thousand soldiers, including two complete companies of the Royal Guards, and many more of Maribo- rough’s veterans, whose corpses were casily distinguishable by their searlet coats. It was suspected: that Paradis had wilfully cast the fleet away. In his defense, as found in the writings of Mere Juchereau, he pleaded that he saw the moving lights when they first made Gaspe Bay and told }some of the high officers that heaven had | ordained a terrible catastrophe, *‘ so clear- \ly and with such vividness did the celestial | fires burn not only by night but often when

Wo d is

(there was a fog throughout the day.”

The disaster saved Canada to France for \the time being, and the pious colonists ‘reared many churches in gratitude to Notre 'Dame des Victoires. The Court of Queen | Anne went into mourning, and Sir Hoven- ‘den exiled himself to South Carolina where, as a French writer quaintly said, ‘‘ he wrote numerous apologies for the disaster with which God had been pleased to visit the English fleet.” The flagship Edgar, with 470 men, blew up at Portsmouth on her return fromthe Gulf, which was ‘“‘further evidence of God’s displeasure at the inva- sion of New France.”

Every great wreck that has taken place since Sir Hovenden’s calamity has been preceded, if tradition is to be believed, by these mysterious lights; or rather they have warned the mariner of the fatal storm.

When the Gulf gives up its dead there will be a vast muster. In 1797 the French war ship La Tribune was lost, with 300 souls. In 1805 the British transport Nacas went In 1831 the emigrant ship

ing saved. In 1847 nearly 200 Irish emi- crants were lost with the brig Carrick, and 240 more on the Exmouth. Two hundred and twenty-five souls perished in the wreck of the Hungarian on the 19th February, 1860; 35 on the Canadian on the 4th June, 1861, and 237 when the Anglo-Saxon was lost in a fog off Cape Race on the 27th April, 1863. How many fishing boats and coasters have gone down with all hands, leaving no sign, it is not safe even to guess. This fall, if the lights are to be believed and the Gulf fishermen say they cannot lie—storms of unexampled fierceness will rage from the autumnal equinox until the winter is past. Should this augury be ful- filled perhaps it may be worth while for meteorologists and seafaring men to inquire into the source and origin of these strange watchmen of the deep. <<>> ——

THE Ministeral policy is as follows :—

“Toronto, Aug. 15, 1872. ‘‘Hlon. John Simpson, President Ontario Bani, “My Dear Sir,—The fight goes bravely on. We have expended our strength im aiding outlying counties and helping our city candi- dates, But a pia pusu has to be made on Saturday and Monday for the East and West divisions. We, therefore, make our GRAND stand on Saturday. There are but a half- dozen people that can COME DOWN HAND- SOMELY, and we have done all we possibly can do, and we have to ask a few outsiders to help vs. Witt you pe one? I have been urged to write you, and comply accordingly. Things look well all over the Province. Things

look bright in Quebec ! ‘Faithfully yours, “GEORGE BROWN.”

‘* My duty is to protect the great body of the consumers. — Hon. Alexander MacKen- ze.”

He performs the duty by piacing :

A tax of 6 cents a pound on Green Tea.

A tax of 210 per cent. on Tobacco.

A tax of 55 per cent. on Porto Rico Sugar.

A verY melancholy accident occurred at Lot 48, yesterday evening. Mr. Robert Lund, a respected farmer of that vicinity, was returning from this city with a team. He was sitting on the side of the cart, and when passing the residence of Mr. Alex. Stewart, he was seen by his daughters to fall headlong from the cart. They immedi- ately proceeded to the scene of the accident and found their father lying insensible on the roadside. He was removed to the resi- dence of Mr. John Driscoll, where every efforc was made to revive him. Shortly after he fell he said, ‘‘Send for Dr. Jen- kins,” These were his last and only words. Dr. Jenkins was sent for, but before he ar- rived Mr. Lund expired. There was no in- quest held on the body. It is the opinion ef Dr. Jenkins that his neck was broken by the fall. We deeply sympathise with the bereaved wife and family of the deceased.

Tue Sea Serpent Acatn.—The follow- ing story is from the Windsor (N. 8.) Mait: “Captain Reagh, of the Windsor Packet, reports that on coming out of St. John harbor, on Wednesday of last week, he sighted a sea serpent. It had a tremen- dnous head, at least two feet high above the water, witha body of between 25 and 30 feet. It was making headway through the water at about ten knots, and leaving in its wake a large swell, divided into two ripples, one on each side, the same asa paddle-wheel steamboat would make. A man ascended the masts and describes that it had the appearance of a large serpent. The sea serpent was crossing between the headlands at the mouths of the harbor.

~— S——— - — - This is the way Mr. King, of St. John,

corners the unintelligible Alexander :— ‘*Mr. McKenzie says three things, no two

of which can be true without the other be- -

ing wrong. He says that in tle making of American goods manufacturers are bein

ruined by the low prices which they get for their goods, while the American consumers are being ruined by the high prices they pay for these goods; and that we in Canada will be ruined unless we are allowed to buy these wonderful goods, which iuin every- body that has anything to do with them.”

—> <> arm -oo- =. --—-—

ANoTHER proof of the value of our pres- ent American policy to the United States is found in the Dominion Press, which is pub- lished in Oakland, California. It says :— ‘‘ There are 700 persons in San Francisco who formerly were residents of the Do- minion that voted at the last !ocal election. It may be stated in this connection that it is estimated that there are ten to fifteen thousand Canadians in that city.”
