Ghost Ship of I” North Shore Is Reported Again

(By The Canadian Press)

BATHURIBT, N. B.. May 8 The ghost ship of the North shore, tradition of Gulf of; St. Lawrence coastal waters of nearly 70 years has been reported again. Latest to claim a glimpse of the flame- shrouded craft as it plows its way across seas soon to be storrn-crest- ed. is a Bathurst. district youth.

Wild and fantastic have been some of the stories of this mystery ship that is said to haunt the nor- thern shores of Nova scotla and ~N:-W Brunswick. always before a storm. Fishermen, farmers, shore residents and even train crews, speeding along lines close to the sea in dead of night Or early morning. have reported the phantom ship. Always, they say, its rigging and spars are ablaze, weird tongues of flame lick at its three masts, and a red glow overhangs the scene. Its appearance has been described in books relating tales of the north shore ccunlry.

On his way home from 9. neigh- bcuring house where he had been visiting latc—lt was about one o'cl."»cir in the morning—the youm saw a glow ahead of him on the Bay Chaleur shore. he related. ‘

“When I first saw it, I ihought it;

was some house afire. I started to run down to the shore but when I got there I saw it was a fire out on the water. At least. :hat's what it looked Ike, although I couldn't see what was burning out there. Then I saw it was moving ifong-3 ship sailing against the wind. I knew right. away it must, be the ‘fire ship‘ my father and his brothers had often talked about.

"It smmcd to be a boat about '10 or 80 feet long standing high out of the water. It was a three-mash er, like one of those old ship.-. you ace in history books. I could see the tips of the spars. The sails vnra all bellied out and seemed to ‘up blazing too."

‘There is no dearth along New

kmcwiab north shore, of wit- nuaea who claim‘ to have seen the phantom chip. and many of them In nliable. A veteran minister,

, now serving the New Bandon cir- cult of the United church. has told

aeoinu the flaming craft of: can Breton Iafand two mu ago.

But before they call they will make one more defencewthcir thirdi this season—of tho lfllFl‘llfil.lDl’lB.ll title they have held since 1923. Starling late this mCnlll, Grads will play a series with El Domdn,‘ Ark. Lions with the Urldcllwood trfrpliy at stake. They turned back the chal‘cnge of a, quintet from the American School of Business at Des Moines, 1a., in i/wo straight games and then in ii. best-of-five game series de- feated Tulsa. Okla., stenos three victories to one. Boththe North. American championshlvp and the international titles were at, stake in the series with Stcnos With Page in complete charge, Grads will leave for (heir summer tour that will take them to several old County and European cities and include exhibition games at the 1936 Olympic games in Ber- lin. It will be the fourth Olympics for the Grads to play exhibition games. when the Olympic rzames were held in Paris in 1924. Grads were. there for exhibition games. They were back when the Olympics: were held at Amsterdam in i928 and they went to Los Angeles for other exhibition games in 1932. Women's basketball has been in- cluded for games this year. Through the years the personnel of the team has changed but un- der Pagca direction it has remain- ed a championship aggregation. He guided the.tcam to the Alberta championship for the first time in 1915. They won the Canadian title for the first time in 1922. They haven't lost a series for either title since. They did not. defend their} Canadian title this year because of the European tour and Olympic exhibition games. in the interriational sphere their rewrd is almost, as good. They lost only one international series-——an’ exhibition series under both mcn'sl and women: rules in 1933 to of team from thc Prcs'i7_vii-rlali College‘ at Durzmi. Okla. The girls from‘ the United State. city made it in three in a row in a scheduled best- i of-five srrlcs. 3 Mr. Pnzc always travels with the team when they are on the road. The Olympic serics this year comes as a climax to Pages final season: as conch. Taking in the game asf a hobby. he has been the master», mind or the squad for more thanl 20 years and Is retiring at the close of this season. Every girl on the team has been A "working girl"—ptnctlca.‘ly all stenographers. Gladys Fry is the veteran of the present team with eight years playing to her credit. Babe Belanger and Doris Neale have seen several years playing. Noel MacDonald, centre, is the spearhead of the front-line attack. Helen Northup, Etta nn and Mabel Munton complete the lineup. The record for long-time service with Grads goes to Margaret Mac» Burney who retired this season. The sterling former captain played use games and scored 2.064 point; for an average of 13.1 points per game. Her record ia believed un- equalled in any women’: basketball lea‘ e in the world. v
