BUILT AN ElGHTY-T0N SHIP
South Sea Missionary Who Wanted
to Reach His Island Home Proved
His Ingenuity.

A person engaged in missionary
work in the South seas has told OF the
ingenuity OF an American missionary
in the Society islands, who, though he
knew next to nothing Of ship carpen-
1y and was, besides, almost destitute
of tools, once accomplished the con-
struction of a vessel of 80 tons bur-
den. 1t should be added, however, that
in his youth this missionary had been
apprenticed to an ironmaker.
1t appears that, being DESTROYS to
reach more distant tribes, this mis-
sionary left his home in Raiatea and
took passage on trading vessel for
Rarotonga, 500 miles distant. He
learned soon after his arrival that
ships rarely touched port at that
island; and when his visit had ex-
tended over several months with no
sight of a sail he began to wonder
how he should ever get back. Final
ly, impelled by the stress of his situa-
ton, he determined to make ship
by which he could leave the island.
The novelty and audacity of this plan
amazed and fascinated the natives,
who helped him with will. Pieces or
old metal from wrecks and an auger
and carpenters pincers, with several
hatchets and knives, trophies OF for
mer bargainings by the islanders with
white sailors, made up his whole out
At Of iron and tools.
First he erected a stone forge and
anvil and tried to equip his establish
ment with a goatskin bellows, but as
It was impossible to protect the lesth-
er from the rats he substituted kind
OF rude air pump, an apparatus that
the natives greatly admired. He never
lacked hands to blow it. He found
plenty of timber-cocoanut and bam-
boo. Having no saw he made his
planks by splitting trees and tho
islanders smoothed them after a fash
ion with the hatchets and knives.
Wood with a natural crook Supplied

nails and the calking of the seams was
done with banana stumps and cocoa
nut fiber III place of oakum.
After long and patient toll the mis-
sionary and his native assistants
launched a craft that rode the water.
Somehow he contrived, with his anna
teur native crew, to navigate the yes
sci safely to his Raiatea home.

If intercollegiate athletics interfere
seriously with the college work of the stu
dents who take part in or watch them, it is
reasonable and proper that the college au-

fact, the determination of which can safely

The attack in local sheet last week
ness men, who are alleged to have lost
heavily in outside investments, and who
are severely censured for not investing
their money at home, recalls the expert
ence of local investors in such enter
prises as Nutriola, Cream Publishing
CO., Petit Manan, ETC. These were not
generally business men, but widows,
orphans, and people of small means,
some Of whom lost all their savings in
these and kindred schemes One case
has come to our notice in which man
lost the savings that would have main
tanned him in comfort the last year of
his life. during which he was a town
charge. Then it was but few weeks
ago that this same paper was attacking
our local banking institutions and advis-
ing people to withdraw their money from
them and send it out of town. Fortu-
nately the public pays little heed to either
praise or abuse from that quarter, and
Belfast continues to prosper despite this
handicap upon its peace and prosperity.
The report of the city treasurer has at
last been made public. Until last year
this report had been published every
year the week before the city election,
but it has not suited the present powers
that be to give this information to the
taxpayers. The report shows that on
March T. 1910 there was a cash balance
Of Sl9, 41l.l5 in the city treasury and
that on March 6, 1911, the cash on hand
was only SO, 1854. S7-a decrease of S1O,-
046.2S. 1t also shows that the city owes
the Belfast Water company, for the
years 1908, 1909 and 1910, the sum of
81, 515.00; and that appropriations were
overdrawn to the amount of So, SOL. 81,
with 'uneXpended balances of S859.09,
leaving net overdrafts of So, 692.7
The amount received from the tax collec-
tor for 1910 was SAT, 900; in 1909, $751;
252.06 The expenditures for highways,
walks and bridges, including the State
road, were Sl4, 110.19. Last year an
nouncement was made that the tax rate
had been reduced from 500 per thousand
to S19, but this was done by raising the
valuation, which has permanently in
creased the State tax as we'll as the local
tax. This year the tax rate has been
raised to $50. Although, as was the
case last year, the report has been pad
ded and spaced out to make more pages
for which the mayors printing office is
to be paid, the list of delinquent taxpay-
ers was omitted, probably to save the
city clerk the trouble of cutting them
out before delivering the report to the
taxpayers, which was done with the re-
port of 1908. 1t has been customary
to print 500 copies of the city reports,
which more than supplied the demand,
but this year there is an edition of ], 200
from the mayors printing office, clear
case of graft.
