Crew of Wrecked French Bark
Has an Experience Somewhat
Similar to That of the "Swiss
Family Robinson

A close parallel to some ot the ad-
ventures recorded in "Swiss Family
Robinson" is furnished by the expert
ences OF the crew of the wrecked
French vessel Anjou. The survivors
arrived in Marseilles the other day.
The Anjou, with a crew of twenty-five
and cargo of corn, left Sydney on
Jan. 20 for Falmouth and was over
taken by a tempest which drove it
on the rocks. For an entire night the
crew remained on the sinking ship,
at the mercy of the waves, and when
MOI ming came they found that they
were within few hundred yards of
land, but towering above thcm was a
huge cliff The crew embarked in
three of the ships boats. The ships
cat at the last moment jumped into
one of the boats and few minutes
later the Anjou settled and sunk.
For hours the wrecked men searched
for an inlet, while their frail boats
were flung hither and thither by the
huge seas. Toward night they ef-
fected landing on the island.
On exploring the island the marin.
ers found shelter containing a
small store of food-one of those

A Chinaman, wearing his finest

he happened to disturb rat which
was regaling itself out of jar of oil

it's sudden fright the rat upset the oil
over the luckless visitor, running his
fine raiment. While the man was still
pale with rage his host appeared and
after the customary greetings the WIS.,

this wise: GAS I was entering your

1t is gross offense to call native

but he becomes furious if even a twin
brother thus addresses him. It must
be either honorable older brother" or

such form of expression. Foreigners

to the Ol0 WOflo.
Very curious are some OF the rules
of etiquette observed by Chinaman.
Emile Bard, who has written a book
on the subject of Chinese life, says
that in nine cases out of ten, however,
the form of etiquette has replaced the
substance. With the Chinese refusal
or unpleasant truth must be expressed
evasively. II Chinaman does not
wish to accommodate a friend he
never gives the true reason for his
refusal; that would be discourteous.
He lies politely. The ceremonious
forms of expression used in ordinary
conversation seem very amusing to
the European listener. 1t is a fixed
rule that one must speak of himself
and of all belonging to him in the
humblest of terms and use the most
exalted language in referring to the
person or property OF another.

fancied anywhere. At last we came

that would have been exactly what
my friend wanted If it had not been
the wrong color. The Virginia woman
wanted either blue or a tan-colored
one, and she'd have to see both be-
fore she could decide which to take.
In the end the milliner agreed to make
up two hats Of the shape my friend
liked, and let her see them. After

to leave the task of selection to me
and we went home said eeny,

 John Ebert shirk of Tipton, Ind, who lives at 462 Fayerweather hall this year at Yale, was. arrested yesterday by Captain Cowles and Detective Ward for breach of the peace. He Is accused of assaulting Hugh Connolly, the bar tender at Lucey's cafe in Temple street, who is now at the New Haven hospital with a broken ankle. Shirk is an academic junior, . It was claimed at the time that Con- nelly was assaulted, that there were two students in the party. and it was also inttmated that they were both members Of the f0otbai squad ct Yale; According to Connolly's statement the two men were very mussy and he tried to put them out of the saloon. They turned on him, knocked him down and jumped on him. During the fracas and while Connolly was on the floor, his ankle was broken and his two assail- ants disappeared at once.
 A. J. A. Charwate of Houston, Texas, 8 first year law student, who, 1t was said, was with Shirk when the assault took place, left the city after the incl dent.
