The Juniors have been taking lessons
in swimming Saturday mornings since

oped into very strong swimmers, doing
both fancy and straight work.

Potomac Boat Club.
OCca sionally a four or an eight leaves
the feat of the Potomac Boat Club dur
irg a week. and this is about the extent
Of the crew rowing done at this house.
The members are giving themselves up
almost entirely to single sculls, canoes,
ard pleasure beating.
For the last TWO years Potomac
eight has given the Georgetown crew a
brush over the course just before the
latter went away to Poughkecpsie. This
time the lack OF crew made ii imp0s-
sihle for George town to get that trying
cut. 1t is proba bly, just as we'll, as this
sort Of test often does more harm
than good. but the reason for not hay
ing it this time only goes TO show how
little interest in crew rowing Is mani
tested here this year. and the same
conditions prevail at Analostan house.
Fleet of SculIers.
There is quite fleet of single shells
in the Potomac house, and it is really
surprising where all the scullers come
from. In former years two or three 20
a house was considered a coed number:
now there are almost dozen in the
beat racks.
Among those who are doing some good
sculling are Joe DAILY, who won second
place in the Harlem regatta. May 50, and
rowed good race. He Will row at the
Philadelphia July big regatta, and
promises to give a good account of him
self
HecoN is an old oarsman, who once
rowed for the Columbia, and is now de-
voting himself to single sculls. He has
a good boat, which has recently had the
benefit OF good overhauling and rig
ging at the hands OF Dempsey, George
towns coach.
Among the most promising OF the feet
is VIII Britt, who is moving in good
form and puts on considerable speed. He
was No. in last seasons college crew.
Suily Maize, too, is moving we'll, and
promises TO DO as good work with the
sculls as he lid at No. in the Poto-
macs junior eight.

BIRTH OF AN ICEBERG.
The Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic Explorers.

The Dramatic Experience of Two
Antarctic Explorers.
Mr.. C. e. Borchgrevink, commander
of the antarctic expedition of 1898,
nearly lost his life by an accident of
nature so peculiar that it is probable
no other man could duplicate the ex-
perience. At the foot of Mount Terror
in February, 1900, he landed from his
ship with Captain Jensen and three
other men. Then, wishing to take q
picture of the shore, he sent his boat
lack to the vessel to get a camera, and
he and Captain Jensen We're left alone
On the rough beach. Before the boat
returned a strange and awful thing
happened. Mr.. Borchgrevink told the
story in the Outlook:
A roar and a rush, with tremendous
explosions, shook the beach. The
thought came to us that the perpendic-
ular rocks above Us were falling. Then
we realized what was taking place.
The mighty glacier Immediately to the
west of us was giving birth to an ice
berg.
Millions of tons of ice plunged into
the ocean. We could see nothing be-
yond an immense cloud Of rolling
snow. The water rose from the plunge
of this antarctic monarch. | sang out
to Jensen, "Now we shall have to face
the wavev'
We rushed to the highest point of our
limited beach, four feet above the sea.
We saw advancing on us dark green
ridge with a white crest. | called to
Jensen to struggle for dear life. We
clutched the uneven rocks, with our
backs toward the advancing water. AL
though it could not have taken more
than seven minutes the time seemed
long before the water closed over our
heads.
Floating upward, scrambling upon
the rocks, | tore the nails from my
flesh in my endeavor to keep from be-
ing dragged out. After the second
wave we again felt the rocks under
our feet.
At the place where Jensen and first
6IOOu Tic IOCh was Wei twenty LCCt
above our heads. It was somewhat
lower when it struck u.s. Where the
wave had struck with full force the
face of the rock had been altered, and
rocks were still falling when the three
men in the boat found us. bleeding and
torn.
Two facts had saved us. To our right
a small peninsula of ice protruded
some five feet from the rock, and the
rock itself bent toward the west. From
the moment it struck the curve of the
mountain rock to the west of Us the
wave took a course more easterly than
where Jensen and stood.

% THE MEMORY OF LITTLE
NOAH TURNER.

Little friend. thou art gone to rest,
We shall see thy bright face no
more
Thou hast crossed the river of death
And landed on the other shore.
Thy pure white spirit has winged its
fight
Up to the courts of heaven;
Left this cold world and gone
Back to the God who had given.
For such as thee we have no fear,
Thou hadst not learned the ways of
sin.
When you reach the golden gate
above
The Savior will open and let you in.
No cause to plead, no debts to pay;
Christ paid that in days of old,
And now he will smile and gently
say,
Come in, with the lambs of my fold.
He's safe in the arms Of Him, who
said,
When little babes were brought for
His blessing to be given,
Suffer little children to come unto
Me
For of such is the kingdom Of
heaven. -
And may his mother, when life is
ended;
And her work on earth is done,
May she reach the land above
And there meet her little son.
