The sea breeds fancies and superstitions, you know that, Lepine, for I believe you are superstitious yourself." "Perhaps, monsieur; all sailors are, and I have had experiences. There are bad and good ships, just as there are bad and good men, of that I am sure. Perhaps that three-master was a bad ship." Lepine laughed as though at his own words.
The spasms were greatly relieved by cocain administered by the mouth, as much as 15 grains being given in twelve hours. Laborde and Lepine report the case of a young girl who was relieved of an obstinate case of hiccough lasting four days by traction on her tongue.
