TALES OF DISASTER FOUND IN BOTTLES

Messages Reveal Grim Tragedies of the Ocean. ;

Scrawled on canvas, on shavings, on sea-stained leaves torn from logbooks; written in charcoal and sometimes In blood—such are the messages which drifs ashore in bottles from the sea, from those in danger on the oceans of the world. : For hundreds of years, before wireless made contact with the land easy, seamen have thrown their bottle messages’ trustfully into the sea. Columbus wrote to his queen in that way. And today a sealed bottle still contains sometimes the last message of a despairing crew. Many a tragic message has been cast into the sea from ma?]y a stricken vessel. Messages such as these: “Cap;gip, all crew but me, John Williams, died yellow fever. “Ship burned, only me, Sam Thomas, left in boat.” ; “Whoever picks this up will know barque Caller Ou run down by steamer.” : The list of these bottles containing genuine news of disaster is pitifully long. There was that sad last message from the crew of the American tank steamer City of Everett, which sank with all hands in the Gulf of Mexico during October, 1923. It was washed up in a bottle at Miami, Fla., 00 days later, and read: “S. S. Evcrett. 'This is the last of us. To dear fricnds who find this, good-by forever and ever.” : Father Neptune sometimes takes much longer to deliver his mails. Years ago a black cook on board the British ship Buckingham murdered the master. The vessel was off the coast of Bermuda at the time. She carried no wireless, and the mate, fearing further violence, entrusted his report of the erime to a bottle, It was found 5,000 miles away, on one of the Shetland islands. Nearly three years had passed. ‘ ; A bottle message told the world of the loss with all hands of the Atlantic liner President. She should have reached Liverpool in March, 1841, but became long overdue. At last a ship at sea picked up a bottle contalning a message from the famous comedian, Tyrone Power. It said that the vessel was sinking in a gale as he wrote. In 1902 the Allan liner Huronian left Glasgow and disappeared. Five years later a bottle was washed up by the tide on the morth coast of Ireland. Tlts message read: “Huronian sinking fast. Topheavy. One side under water. Good-by mother and sister—Charles McFall.” Bottle messages were produced as evidence during an inquiry into the loss of the Grimsby trawler Argus. One which reached Norway read: “Steamship Argus. All hands mutiny. Collision with foreign barque.” After the mysterious loss of the Australian liner Waratah between Durban and Cape Town many battle messages were found, but these were all believed to be cruel fakes. Sealed bottles are often set adrift for scientific purposes. Many shipmasters are co-operating with Dritigh and American government departments at the present time by throwingz bottles overboard. In this way the direction of ocean eurrents may be traced, for finders of these bottles are rewarded if they fill in the card inclosed in each one, giving particulars of the date and place where it was found. Such a bottle, cast into the sea near Oape Town, was picked up on a Shetland island beach, mearly four and a half years later. Captain Simpson, F. R. 8, who threw thousands- of bottles into the sea during a period of years, reported that 10 per cent were found. Many of the bottles had drifted 10,000 miles before reaching land, the average rate of travel working out at half a mile an hour.

Italian “Fascisti”

Thelr object was to counteract the designs of the extreme Communists and Soclalists. -

- in Tarkish Capital Fhe Angora government has giyen to the British-museum permission fo excavate the Hippodrome, the heart of the ancient city of the Emperor Constantine. Excavations will begin pext spring and will be concernel chiefly with a search for the remaims of the Spina, the wall which ran down the center of all ancient hippodromes and which In this case was covered with statues and monuments brought by Constantine and his successors from Egypt, Greece, Italy and Asia. Everything found in the course of these excavations will become the property of the Turkish government. The Hippodrome of Constantinople was the scene in anclent times ot many important events besides the usual horse races. It was there thuat the famous revolt against the Emperor Justinian in 532 A. D. was suppressed by General Belisarius, wben rebels were within the walls of thw Hippodrome in the act of crowning a usurper to the throne of Justinian with a necklace taken from the throat of the usurper's wife, since no erown was at hand. The level of the ancient Hlppodrome was between 16 and 22 feet below the level of the attractive park the Tmrks have laid out on the site. Three By zantine relics still rise there: two obelisks and the famous green snake brought by Constantine from the sanctuary of the Delphic Apollo. where it had - been erected by the viciorious Greek cities after the battles ot Platen ‘and Salamis in 497 B. C In strange contrast with these anclent relics, a fountain of moderc historic importance occupies a piace in the park which stretches over the grave of CQConstantine’s Hippodroine. This fountain was a gift of Wiiheln, former kaiser of Germany, erected as a token of his friendship for the red sultan, Abdul Hamid.
