C„ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1925 Torrential Rains Have C ausedDamage to Some Localities In Florida —a. — ; CARRYING NEWS TO HANOVER Queer Superstition Almat Figure That I Appears on I)c:illi of Rcyul Person. j London. Nov. 30. —The death of Queen Alexandra has served to re-, call the popular story of the “ghostly bodtman of Hanover,” which is tbe lievcd to this day by a large numßcr of peopie, especially by the Thames watermen. It seem.-; that on the night of .lane 20. ,1830. Col.. Dawson, who married the adopted daughter of Mrs. Fitzherber, was standing with a friend on Westminister bridge, when he saw a small wherry con taining a little muffled figure dart from the shadows and swiftly and noiselessly make its way down the river. While they were watching the j small craft a Thames waterman i nearby -xclaimod re an awestruck | voice, “There goes the boatman to I Hanover.' j Oil being asked what he meant, the man exclaimed that King Geofge must be dead, as the figure alwitys appeared oh the demise of the s§v areign, his consort or the direct heir to the throne, and rowed to Hanover to carry the news. On returning home Colonel Damer heard that George IV. hau died at the hour when he saw the wherry set out fom beneath the bridge. The ghostly boatman is said to have come over with the house ot Hanover and to have been seen at the death of each of the English sovereigns of that dynasty, or mem hoi’s of thr ir families. When the Prince Consort died in 1801, the boatman is stated to have .appeared from beneath Westminster : bridge, and. again, at the very moment when Queen Victoria brea/h-- ! ed her last aCOsobrne. on the Isle of Wright, not only many Thames watermen, but quite a number of well educated, level headed aud re sponsible jicoplo allege that they saw the messenger of death bemtlng m hifl oars on his ghostly errand to Hanover. On the death of Edward VII. the story was again revived. It is a queer superstition, quite in keeping, however, with those accord ing to which the death of a member jof the house of Hohenzollern or of i Hapsburg was always hearlded by [the apparition of a‘white lady. j NINETEEN COURT TERMS IN SESSION THIS WEEK R.
