One of the world's seven wonders to the sailor Is the Brooklyn bridge. Turk ish sailors tell of it In the Black sea, and Finnish whalemen discuss It In the Arctic ocean. It Is not as a wonderful feat of engineering alone that they re gard It, but as one of the greatest opti cal illusions to be met with during a seafaring career. Nor Is it less wonder ful in this respect to a landsman. A ship comes in through the Narrows, a big four masted ship with lofty rig ging. After all the harbor regulations have been complied with a tug takes her iir tow. It is announced that she Is going up the East river beyond the bridge. Then the old sailors who hare been there before get out their pipes, lean over the railings and prepare for a long comfortable smoke. Not so the strangers, especially for eigners. As they see the big structure before them, anticipating official com mands, they gather up the necessary gear for lowering all the tops. One man starts aloft on each of the four riggings. Come down there," shouts the mate. "Get for'd, you men. "Let alone that gear." The men go for'd, a good deal sur prised. Meanwhile the ship is fast approaching the bridge. The speed continues the snine and the black arch Is sweeping down. The men anxiously regard the topmasts, then cast appre hensive glances toward the apparently low hanging bridge. "What is the blame fool skipper try ing to do?" growls an old English salt. Meanwhile the old timers are leaning against the bulwarks, smoking and chuckling. What was once keen anx iety to them is now a huge joke. The other sailors are getting bewil dered. Apparently the bridge will strike . the foremast Just below the crosstrees. In alarm they hurry aft, as though to appeal to the pilot and the officers, but those men are complacent ly tranquil on the poop. "Look out! Stand from under!" yells one sailor. The bridge is apparently about to sweep through the fore rig ging, when suddenly lt shoots upward and curves gracefully over the fore truck, fifty feet above. In a minute It is all over. The bridge drops again. It actually seems as if it had been raised especially to allow this ship to pass. To the foreign sailors it seems a miracle, and they tell of It for the rest of their lives.
