Des regions froides du Nord
Aux confns brnlants du Mexlque,
Leurs pionniers bravaient la mort.
Suivant leurs pas sur ces rivages,
Leurs ap6tres prechaient la loi
De reternel Christ aux Sauvages,
Et tombaient martyrs de leur fol.

Dams tous les lieux du continent.
Quand l'etendard aux lys de France
Pour toujours repassa les mers,

Fut en- proie des jours amers.

CIDENTsO OF ASIA
WRECK; CAPTAIN PREVENTED
REPETITION Of RIO DISASTER

OF course. the chief interest in the
arrival of the Mongolia yesterday
was the fact that she had on board
the passengers and the major portion
of the crew rescued from the
wrecked Asia off Fingua Rock on
April q.
Captain Gaugroger was looked to
to tell the whole story, and he was
found seated by himself in earnest
conversation with a pilot. When
spoken to- he said that he preferred
to say nothing, but handed to the
newspapermen a clipping from the
Kobe Herald, which, he said, was an
excellent account of the whole affair
He explained that he would have to
tell the story before the inquiry that
would be held, and he would prefer
to tell it then.
The real story, however, is told by
a member of the crew of the Asia,
who was in a position to tell IL as
well, perhaps better, than even the
captain himself. Talking after din
ner on board last night, he said:
"The night before she was wrecked
Captain Gauroger left the bridge at
eleven o'clock, giving instructions to
the uuartermaster at the wheel to
tell Third officer Johnson to call him
at daylight. At seven minutes past
five the next morning the third officer
sent down word to the captain as
requested. Captain Gaukroger re-
piled all right At seventeen min
utes past five, the skipper had not
appeared, so Johnson sent word once
more. and added the information that
the weather was beginning to
thicken, and it looked as though a
big fog were setting in. The captain
came Immediately, and when he
reached the bridge the fog had de-
scended on the ship, and it was ex
tremely thick.

reached the bridge were, there's

THE FULL DETAILS Of THE PLAN
Of ORGANIZATION AND THE
RULES OF THE BOY SCOUTS

The questions constantly being
asked by boys and older people of
Honolulu show such a degree of mis-
understanding as to what the Scout
Movement for Boys stands for that
The Star publishes the following, from
National Headquarters:
What Are the Boy Scouts?
The Boy Scouts is an organization,
the purpose of which is character
building for boys between the ages
of twelve and eighteen. 1t is an effort
to get boys to appreciate the things
about them, and to. train them in self.
reliance, manhood, and good citizen
ship. It is Peace Scouting that these
boys engage in, living as much as
possible out of doors; camping, hiking
and learning the secret of the woods
and fields. The movement is not
military, but the military virtues of
discipline, obedience, neatness and
order are scout virtues. Endurance,
self-reliance, self-control and an effort
to help someone else are scout OBJ
jectives. Every activity that lends
itself to these aims is good Scout
craft.
The Origin Of the Boy Scouts.
The Boy Scout Movement in its
present form was started in England
by General Sir Robert Baden-Powell.
He was impressed with the fact that
46 per cent of the boys of England
were growing up without any knowl-
edge of useful occupations, and want.
eG to do something that would help
the boy to become a useful citizen.
He emphatically stated that his in
tention was not the making of SOL
ders. In his work, General Baden
Powell has touched boy life in all it's
| interests and preached a boys out
look by the widest sor+ of activities.
The Movement is touching a large
number of countries.
The Boy Scouts in America.
The Scout idea has sprung up spon-
taneously all over America In Can

put to starboard. She, of course, had
not answered to her engines at once,
and continued going, but at reduced
speed. She struck land, and then the
captain, with wonderfully clear reas-
oning, had her put full speed ahead,
for he knew that there was deep
water about there, and if she struck
anything and then slipped off she
would founder. His idea, of course,
was to jam Nher high and tight, so
that the work of rescue could be eff
fected with safety. This he succeeded
in doing, for the pictures in the pos
sessions of Purser Ludvigsen, of the
Mongolia, show how tightly she IS
stuck, and how high.
Not Like the Rio.
"The captains action in piling her
up recalled the loss of the Jan. ero,
when over a hundred on board were
lost because tho vessel was backed ano

tain Gaukroger done the same thing
it is felt that there would have been
a repetition of that dreadful catas.
trophe. When it is remembered that
Captain Gaukroger got straight out
of bed to take charge, his clear reas.
oning is all the more pronounced.
well, twelve hours after she
struck she took list to starboard
that made it very difficult for anyone
to walk across the deck. 1t was due
to this heavy list that Freight Clerk
Berg sustained a nasty cut above his
right eye. He was walking across
the deck when he slipped and fell
heavily.
Berg, and Wilson, the storekeeper,
deserve great credit for the way they
worked to save the passengers hand

sion that Berg got the injury

the thousands. In the United States,
towns and cities are being swept by
the idea. Gangs of boys are to be
seen on every hand doing their best
at Scout-craft, doing a good turn
every day to some one" and getting
fun out of it. Prominent business
men and our leading educators are
behind the movement, and popular
organization that needs no equipment
is filling a big gap in the recreational
education Of the boyhood of America.
Great as has been the success of the
Boy Scouts in England, America with
its vast stretches of territory, woods
and streams, furnishes a promise for
q greater.
The Aim of the Boy Scouts.
The aim of the Boy Scouts is to
supplement the various existing edu-
cational agencies, and to promote the
ability in boys to do things for them
selves and others. The method is
summed up in the term Scout-craft,
and is a combination of observation,
deduction and handiness-or the abil-
ity to do things. Scout craft consists
of First Aid, Life Saving, Tracking,
Signaling, Cycling, Nature Study,
Seamanship, Campcraft, Woodcraft,
Chivalry, Patriotism and other in
struction. This accomplished in
games and team play, and is pleasure,
not work, for the boy. The only
equipment it needs is the out-of-doors,
IL group of boys and leader.
The Scouts Oath.
Before he becomes a scout a boy
must take the scouts oath, thus:
"On my honor l promise that I will
do my best.
81. To do my duty to God and my
country.
90. To help other people at all
times.
"3. To obey the Scout Law"

INHBB-ISbAND HAPPENINGS

And now the dream seems to be
fading away, and those who had their
hopes raised at the prospect of the
success of a new industry are much
disappointed. Letters have been writ
ten to the United Fruit Company, but
no one has received any answer from
the concern, and even the letters of
G. H. Wears, who acted as a sort of
representative of the concern, gather
ing data for it, have had no response.
The Hilo Railroad Company took a
strong interest in the United Fruit
Company proposition, even going so
far as to plant many hundred banana
plants itself, mainly for the purpose
of raising suckers for prospective plan
tiers. L. A. Thurston stated last week
that he had made inquiries in Homo
lulu with regard to what the United
Fruit Company was doing in regard
to the proposition, but that no one
there appeared to have been able to
get any Information. However, the
matter was too important, said Mr..
Thurston, to allow it to drop, and this
Iilo Railroad Company intended to
take it up with the United Fruit Com.
pany in order to try to get definite
information, and Mr.. Thurston him.

Farmers Disappointed.

HILO, May 16.-For some time past
farmers who have been expecting to
plant bananas for the United Fruit
Company have been anXiously await
ing some news from thPt concern, but
SO far their waiting has been in vain,
The United Fruit Company some time
ago sent a representative here, who
gathered all kinds of information re.
garding the banana situation, and
more particularly regarding the posi-
bilities of building up the industry
in the future, provided the United
Fruit Company offered proper induce
ments and encouragement in the way
OF looking after the transportation of
the bananas across the water itself
and paying a standard rate for bunch

here were said to be satisfactory, and
the prospect of the steamers of the
company calling here for banana car
goes was held out. Much was expect
ed from the development of the new
industry and many small farmers, par
t'cularly those in Olaa, already began
to prepare to raise banana crops. Some
Japanese even went so far as to plant
a number of acres with Bluefelds ba
nanas, this being the variety the Unit.
