So true it is that one's eyes see only what they are fitted to see. All about the dreamer were the records of these mighty adventures told for the most part indeed in invoices and clearance papers, but also, one must believe, echoing in the traditions which his snug-harbored mariner confreres must have known, yet no story came from his pen that shows he felt the call of the sea to those keen, dar- ing sea rovers on whose trail he camped. This was no loss to us, doubtless. We would not swap OLD ...SALEM TOWN 161 the " Scarlet Letter " for any tale that Stevenson told. Yet think what fancies would have taken shape in Stevenson's brain out of the dusty ghosts that still linger in the nooks of the old custom- house ! More things than these are hidden away in Salem. The homing instinct of the old sailors brought back from the seas of all the earth thou- sands of strange relics which are still to be seen in the magnificent Peabody Academy of Science and in the Essex Institute, institutions free to all the world of which the city is justly proud.
