Dr. Sink said he counted his friendship
with the rabbi very highly, and while
they both held tenaciously to their ten
cts they found companionship and profit
in the social relation. The pastor said
he did not see why differences of the
head should affect the relations of the
heart. In the synagogues of old the
teachers of all shades of opinion were
given an opportunity to be heard, and he
was sure the rabbits remarks would
work to the edification of all. 1t was with
pleasure that he introduced his friend

COVERACK, Cornwall. May
2S.-The ninth attempt to float :
the American liner Paris was =
made this evening. and proved =
an utter failure. Her bow is alb
solutely impaled by the rocks.
Five tugs were used in the en-

were emptied to tighten the ship.
The effect of the strain of last :

the increase of water in the en- :

will now be discontinued, and it
is proposed to concoct some new

The pertinacity of the at :

caused considerable surprise
among experts here, owing to

her removal by towing must

seemed to loose hope. In a letter to

waiting for the day TO arrive when his
head should fall from the execution
er's block.
The world wondered for a long time
what could be the answer to the ques-
ton. Here is an indian story related
in Justin Winsor's Narrative and Crit
ical History of America:
After the settlement ct jamestown,
it was then found out (from the In
dians) that they had intermixed with
the natives, and, after living with them
till about the time of the arrival of the
colony AT Jamestown. had been cruelty
massacred at the instigation OF
Powhatan, acting under the pe~rsuasions
of his priests. Only seven Of them
four men, two boys and a young maid
had been preserved from slaughter by
a friendly chief" From this account
Mr.. Winsor concludes as follows:
From these was descended a tribe
of Indians found in the vicinity of Roa-
noke island in the beginning of the
| eighteenth century and known as the
Hatteras Indians. They had gray eyes.
which were found among no other tribes
and claimed TO have white people as
their ancestors"
The above may be true, or il may not
be true. One would naturally ask what
Powhatan, a James river chief, had TO
do with the Indians OF Croatan. IL the
Indian tale has any truth about Ii at
all, it leads to the conclusion that the
settlers did not go to Croatan, the is
land, but to the mainland, after the de-
parture of White. BY a strange mix
ing Of names, the mainland. what is
now Tyrrel, Hyde, and Washington
counties, was called Croatan also. Thus
it came into the territory of Powhatan,
and, in trying to establish Christianity
among the Indians, incurred the dis
pleasure of the native priests, which led
to the massacre. The seven hat es-
capped fled with Manteo, the Indian chief
that saved them doubtless, to Hatteras
and there dwelt. Hereon hangs a tale.
Lawson, who wrote in ITO, tells
about the Hatteras Indians. He says
they had gray eyes and claimed to have
ancestors, who could talk in a book
These Hatteras Indians, in the course OF
time, emigrated from Hatteras, and
their descendants are now living in
Robeson county, this state.
