"Well, you've all heard of the historic collision between the Aragon
and the Astarte in a fog, and the fearful loss of life it involved.
Gilbert didn't laugh when the news came, I assure you. Virginia and
Dolly sailed a month later on the Marseilles, and reached the other
side in safety. That's all the story, boys--the only experience of the
kind I ever had," concluded Davenport.

We had many questions to ask and several theories to advance. Jack
said Davenport had dreamed it and that the collision of the Aragon
and the Astarte was simply a striking coincidence. But Davenport
merely smiled at all our suggestions and, as it cleared up just about
three, we told no more ghost stories.
