er Cara —one of the pseudonyms of the Virgin Mary. But neither explanation supplies the lost identity to that strange and mysticalbeing; nor does it satisfy the popular sense of a vast, intangible presence that fillsthe spaces of salt air and of limitless reaches of briny ocean. For one thing, indeed,is known of her: she is the forerunner of storms. With the little black petrels drift-ing about her feet in skimming- delight, with the wind whining in her salt hair,and with her salt raiment floating about her, she comes from somewhere in thegreat white North, and behind her follows, thundering, the huge ocean storm, bring-ing wreck and destruction in its path. In this quality of storm-brewer she is, as itwere, the wife of Death, and the mother of the Tempest. Embodied in such athought, she very much more nearly fills the popular image of her in a satis-factory fashion than in the thinner raiment supplied by the somewhat,pallid explana-tions of the scientists and students of folk-lore.
