Summary: "Harper's Round Table, August 18, 1896" by Various is a weekly periodical publication likely produced during the late 19th century. This issue seems to feature a variety of articles and stories, including humorous accounts of sailors, nature writing, and a historical narrative about the formation of the American Navy. The opening portion presents an intriguing sailor's yarn, narrated by an old sailor who shares a remarkable encounter with the legendary ghost ship, the "Flying Dutchman." Set against the backdrop of a brewing storm, the old sailor and two boys discuss weather patterns when an unexpected spectral event unfolds. The tale unfolds comically as the old sailor meets the "Flying Dutchman," who has taken a modern, cheeky twist, claiming to be a contemporary version of the legendary ghost rather than the feared omen of disaster. This humorous blend of myth and reality captures the reader's attention, promising a collection filled with adventure, humor, and reflections on maritime folklore.
