	The marines who are quartered in Cob Dock, Brooklyn Navy Yard, are convinced that the 
ghost of Billy HUNT, the laborer who was recently drowned from a tug in the East River, is 
making its headquarters at the "Jock Club" on the dock.

	Several of them are positive that they have felt it or have seen it within the past week.  
They have occupied the place for five years hitherto without experiencing any similar disturbances.  
The marines are not accustomed to being easily frightened, but the ghost has the best of them 
in the present case, and they all admit it.  Last night the entire marine corps united in the 
hunt for the ghost.
