after leaving Fort Au Basque we
steamed through ice for sixteen hours,

Friday morning. I was at the wheel
After running a short time, saw what
supposed was ice I at once re-
duced the speed of the ship and star
boarded the wheel to go around the
ice.
almost Immediately the ship ran
aground and it was then that I dis
covered that what I took to be floating
ice was a barricade of ice piled high
on the shore. Uncertain as to the
damage to the ship and the depth of
water alongside the reef, ] at once or
dered the officers and crew to launch
the boats and make ready to save the
passengers. The boats wer launched

written by Prof. Franz Boas, who is
himself the author of "The Mind of
Primitive Man," in which he states
that within one hundred years the
people of the United States will have
absorbed all the immigrant blood of
the thousands of foreigners who have
Hooked to this country, including that
of the Negro, which he declares will
be a good thing. He says further:
Il hope the discussions contained
in these pages have shown that thu
data OF anthropology teach us a great
er tolerance of forms of civilization
different from our own, and that we
should learn to look upon foreign races
with greater sympathy and with the
conviction, that, as all races have
contributed in the past to cultural
progress in one way or another, SO
they will be capable of advancing the
interests of mankind, if we are only
willing to give them a fair opportuni-
ty."
Thus it would seem that the con-
cluslons of Rev. w. n. Pendleton, D.

when he says that the bringing of the
African to this country was "a part

The new segregation ordinance.
Norfolk, Va, restricting the residence
OF Afrc-Americans to certain streets
and localities has been declared un-
constitutional by justice Duncan to-

was one of caste rather than law, and
that so long as an Afro-American
owned his property or paid his rent
and behaved himself he could live
where he pleased.
The case was appealed and will go
to the supreme court.
