ANOTHER STORY OF
QUEER "1lD OAKUM''

The picture Of "Old Oakum." one of
Homo uIu's old-time odd characters
about town, recalled to kamaainas
many stories of the old mans history.
There We're many stories as TO how he
became deranged. One was that he
was scalped but the most startling
was that he was survivor of a ship
wreck and went through such expert
ences Immediately following that he
lost his mental balance. This story
reads almost identically with Jules
Verne's Wreck of the Chancellor
In effect. it was that, after the wreck
of the ship. "Old Oakum' and several
others put away in search of land in
an open boat They We're out two or
three weeks, during which time the
food supplies gave out and the sur
vivors We're compelled to resort to the
most horrible practice to preserve their
lives One member of the crew, so the
story goes, had not received the usual
sailors burial. but was disposed of
otherwise by the starving men. Then
it came to choosing lots, and it is said
that .Old Oakum'' received the short
straw. which meant that he was to suf-
fer death that his comrades might be
preserved At about this time the crew
sighted land or was picked up by a
passing vessel. At any rate, it is said
that the horrible fate that awaited him
completely unbalanced Oakum.

MARINE

The Midway harbor, or lagoon, is one
of the worst in the Pacific, vessels of as
small a draught as the Iroquois having
to lie off until the entrance is sounded
and buoyed on every trip she makes.
In the harbor she is laced and even
then can not remain during the least
rough weather, but must up anchor and
lie off until the weather moderates
again.

some dredging operations are to be
