Miss Sargent has acquired a repu

monotony OF an inner harbor as long
as her boat can stick outside in rough
water. Last year she won a prize in
the Manchester regatta. She is also
active as a golfer and horsewoman.
Speaking Of the secret OF her own
health, she says: Anyone can be
well and strong II he only wishes 1t
and Is willing to take the exercise

taken BY the Rev. Hugh Black OF

sermon at Dartmouth college today.
The Rev. Mr.. Black said In part:
"The sin of New England In religion
Is the same as the sin of Scotland.
We make religion merely an intellec'
tual problem.
Let no man here say that he has
paid for his education. 1t has been
wrung. drop by drop, out of the blood
of ages. Remember that your hands
are soft, but the hands of your fathers
are horny. and that your backs are
straight because their backs are bent

The objective point was Dortmund,
about 35 miles from Dusseldorf, but
high head wind prevailed and one
or the motors refused 10 work, and the
other two were not powerful enough
to make any progress in the gale.
Colesmann did not dare to turn the
ship around for fear OF overturning,
and he decided TO drift in the gale.
Suddenly he perceived whirlwind
coming and assembled to a height Of
nearly 1000 feet to avoid the worst OF
Ii. With the whirlwind came an av-
alanche Of rain. After half an hour
the Deutschland came down to permit
observations, and 1t was eeen that the
Teutoburgian forest lay below. The
forward motor again stopped, and
Colesmann sent FIVE OF the correspond
ents TO the aft gondola to ballast the
vessel.
The Deutschland sank rapidly. hav-
ing lost much gas In the high attitudes.

dense forest. A heavy branch Of a
tree broke through the floor Of the
cabin amidships, throwing two OF the
guests to the floor. Other branches
ripped the gas compartments, and the
whole great structure settled down 30
or 40 feet from the ground.
