“And of the heathen natives with their suppositious wiles.”
I once crossed the Atlantic in a sailing-vessel, sharing my state-room
with a veteran sea-captain who had been for forty years in the whaling
service. He had an inexhaustible stock of sea-folk-lore, which he freely
imparted to me who was an eager listener, and as the voyage lasted
_thirty-five_ days I had opportunity to gather much. I am indebted to
him for this amusing interchange of words. When telling me that he once
went incognito to revisit his old home in Connecticut he said, “I passed
under a superstitious name.”
