Wistling to Attract the Attention of a Ravaging Army

Christina hull says that whistling is not just a, a, a locus of superstition on the sea. There seem to be all kinds of a fears about the pow of whistling, even on land. She gets into this idea again, that whistling may attract the attention of things that you don't want to attract. Some of these relate to the sea, some are more related to the land. In the east, a sportsman at night, never whistle to their dog, because they might call up the lantern man.
