WRECKED ON DESOLATE REEF
$50 MILES FROM HABITATION

A lofty and rocky islet, inhabited only
by sea birds. surrounded by dangerous
reefs and visited only by fishermen. is
Rocl1all where the Norge struck. The
nearest inhabited land is the tiny island
of st. KidU. a bare 60 square miles in
extent, $50 miles to the east. Eighty
miles farther east is Lewis, the prin-
cipal island of the Outer Hebrides.
The boats Of the Scandinavian-Ameri
can Line coming from Copenhagen and
Christiansand cross the North Sea and
skirt the northern coast of Scotland
passing to the north of and almost in
sight of the Orkney Islands. The sum-
mer track of ships of the Scandinavian
American Line. as prescribed by its OWL
charts. requires its commanders to steer
sixty or more miles north of RoCkaH

The ships of the line make higher and
more perilous ATTITUDES than any other
liners. The great ships from ports Of the
English Channel and from Queenstown
do not fall in with Scandinavian boats
until nearly in midsea. where the
courses converge. The Scandinavian
ships are usually the first liners Of any
Importance to pass icebergs.

BAD MAN BROUGHT
TO TOWN IN A CAR
struggles and Profanity of Prisoner
With Grudge Against Conduc-
tor FTightenS Passengers.

Passengers on an incoming Cabin John
Bridge car had plenty of excitement last
evening about 10 o'clock, when police
who had arrested George Morris on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons
placed him on the car to bring him TO
the city.
He made several desperate but futile
efforts to escape.
In the Police Court today a penalty
Of $50 or six months in the workhouse
was imposed upon Morris.
Morris is twenty-seven years old and
employed as foreman of a stone quarry
near the Conduit Road. Last evening
he was put off a Cabin John Bridge
car, and. it is said. threatened to get
even with the conductor. He went home
and got a weapon with which he is be
heved to have contemplated evening up
matters.
Morris hid in the bushes along the
side of the car track Several motor
men saw him In the weeds and got q
glimpse. of the shining revolver. They
were alarmed and informed Sergea mt
Hess, Of the Seventh precinct station.
Hess rode 20 the place of hiding and
captured the man, just as he was sneak
ing up TO the car on which he was
afterward brought TO the city. He said
he Intended getting the conductor.
and had the pistol TO do it with. The
conductor on the car said Morris had
picked him in mistake, as Morris had
not before been passenger on the car
which served as patrol wagon for him.
Women and children were thrown into
a panic by the profanity and struggles
of the prisoner. who did his utmost 10
free himself from the grasp Of the pO-
liceman.
The negro succeeded once in getting
away and made for the door, but was
recaptured. When the car reached the
limits of Georgetown he was taken off
and placed in a waiting patrol wagon
and conveyed TO the Seventh precinct
