The spotted moray 
A FTER cruising about the Dry 
Tortugas and other keys on the 
way to Key West, we obtained 
many additional specimens of coral fish- 
es and marine fauna. The Grampus, 
after refitting, left Key West on May 
15, 1889, and after a fair voyage of ten 
days arrived at New York on May 25, 
and the expedition was ended.* The 
Grampus was a yacht-built schooner, 
especially designed as a typical schooner 
for cod fishing. She was a keel vessel 
of good depth, and very fast and emi- 
nently seaworthy. In the center of her 
hold there was a well for carrying fish 
alive, as it communicated with the water 
outside. And thereby hangs a tale. At 
one time she went ashore on the rocks 
near Nantucket during an easterly gale. 
The crew was obliged to abandon her 
with the sails set. During the night, 
with the high tide and a breeze off the 
land, she floated off and proceeded to 
sea. She was intercepted by an Eng- 
lish vessel and a crew put aboard to 
sail her to port, with the hope of sal- 
vage. Seeing the water in the well they 
supposed her to be water-logged and 
set the pumps to work night and day, 
but failing to reduce the amount of 
water in the hold, they at last discov- 
ered the nature of the case, and the 
futility of trying to pump the Atlantic 
ocean dry. 
WEIRD NATURE 
SOUNDS AT NIGHT 
(CONTINUED from page 209) 
that region. There were four in our 
party and all day we had walked 
through one of the immense forests that 
twenty-five years ago existed in central 
West Virginia. In a wild spot night 
descended unawares and we hastily pre- 
pared camp on the bank of a laurel- 
grown stream, a tributary of Cranberry 
river. We were tired, the camp fire 
warmed us and we soon fell asleep, 
lulled more peacefully to rest by the 
ripple of the water and ia night-bird 
serenade from the spruce tops that tow- 
ered above. Near morning all of us 
found ourselves by common impulse sit- 
ting bolt upright, our faces turned in 
the direction from whence had come a 
startling and unknown cry. With 
strained ears we waited to catch the 
full details of inflection should the cry 
come again. And it did! From a not 
far-distant mountain side the haunting,
