truth of Colonel Mitchell's .rharges of j
iueompetency, neglect and near trim
son on the war and navy departments

CARRYING NEWS TO HANOVER
Queer Superstition About Figure Thkt
Appears on ltratli of It.'i.val IkrK*
! London, Xnv. 30.—The death If
Queen Alexandra has served to 4-
call the popular story of the "ghostly
boatman of Hanover." whieh is be
lieved to this day by a large number
of people, especially by the ‘Thames:
watermen.
It seems that on the night of
June 2fi, 1830. .Col. Dawson, who
married the adopted daughter of
Mrs. Fiixherber. was standiryt with
I a friend on Westminister bridge.
wh>n he saw a small wherry cdh
taining a little muffled figure dari
from . the shadows and swiftly and
noiselessly make its way down tin
river.
While they were watehing the
small craft a Thames waterman
nearby xelaimed in an awestruck
voice, “There.goes the boatman to
Hanover.'
On being asked what he meant, the
man exclaimed that King George
must be dead, as the figure always
appeared on. the demise of the sov
ereign. his consort or the direct heir
to the throne, and rowed to Hanover
to carry the nows.
On returning homo Colonel Darner
heard thut George IV. bait died (i
the hour when lie saw the wherty
set out fom beneath the bridge:
The ghostly boatman is said to
have come over with the house of
Hanover and to have been seen at
the death of each of the English I
■ sovereigns of that dynasty, or mem
j hers of their families.
| When the Prince Consort died pi
1861, the boatman is to have
i appeared from beneath Westminster
| bridge, and. again, at the very
: moment when Queen Victoria breatli
| ed her last at Cbiobrne, on the Isle of
j Wright, not only many Timmies
watermen, but quite a number of
I well educated, level headed and re
| sponsible jieople allege that they saw
I tho messenger of death bending to
his oars on his ghostly errand to
j 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 mefobCr
of the hoifse of Holienzollem or of
Hapsburg was always hearldcd by
the apparition of a white lady.

iTiilial- tropic raii)s beginning la-d !
iliglit ta ml emit bluing through this
morning in a steady downpour, crip- j
pled the city utilities and prevented 1
the issuance of newspapers.
One morning newspaper failed to l
publish, another issued an early rdi-1
lion only, and the two aftermon news- j
papers face prospects of going all day
without being able to turn a “wheel.
Power company officials said that a.
force of men is kept in readiness to
begin drying out generators, coils as
soon as the rain stops. Service tnuy
be resumed, after four hours of such
work, it was estimated.
I towntown street intersect; ms are

The principal thoroughfares in both
.Miami and Miami Beach are under i

United States Weather Bureau
Forecaster Kichard W. Gray, sta
tioned here, at noon declared that be-1
tween 11 and 12 inches of rainfall
had been recorded in Miami by 12
o'clock today. This mark has already
established a new record for a single,
day's rainfall in this city, and hi
greater than any entire November
rainfall previous to this time. The.
former high mark here was jet on
October 24. 1924, when 9.74; inches of
,ruin was recorded.
A stationary storm cenforikg -sontb
of thy Florida peninsula was given
by Forecaster Gray as the cause of
the unusually heavy fall of rain here.
Although just before noon the sun
made its first appearance of the day. I
and the showers slacked for a time, j
Forecaster Gray reiterated his earlier j
prediction of an early, cessation of j
rainfall, and said that lie fully ex-1
pected the downpour to continue I
through the ofternoon an,] night. He j
added that lie felt assured that Miami :
had received the bulk of rainfall not
ed throughout this section and neigh-!
boring cities had experienced only or- i
dinary showers.
The string of settlements and new )
subdivisions fringing Miami and Mi-I
ami Beach are suffering from higli
t water fully as much as the two cities
themselves, and travel on t'.ip roads j
and main highways lying beneath sev
eral'inches of water was even more j
difficult than in the cities proper. !
