World Navigator Returns TO
Snow Hill After Absence
of 30 years.

Forty years ago Stephen E. Collins
left Snow Hill for Baltimore as young
man TO ship on a vessel. For the first
time since then he arrived here again
last week. He was boy with Mr..
John J.. Collins, Van Payne. Jack Lee
Compile, Thomas II. Collins. Clayton j..
Purnell and the boys Of their time. A
photograph taken over 30 years ago and
now in the possession Of DR.. William ID.

Der the Snow Hill Concert Band. in COM
pany with Eorick Smith, Jack LeCompte,
Clayton j. Purnell, Sylvester X. Mar

thews, Van Payne. and others. Mr..
Collins was the snare drummer. and the
picture. which is in wonderful state of
preservation. was taken while the band
was on the green Of Thomas z. Johnson
now occupied by him on Federal street.
Most of the members of the band have
answered the long roll call, but Mr..
Collins is still hale and hearty, and as
rugged as any man we ever saw at his
age. He accounts for his good health
because. as he says. he has lived most
of his life in the open. Mr. Collins has
travelled all over the world. He is a
member of the Brotherhood Of World
Navigators, and it his business to take
charge OF the navigation of big ships on
trips to distant ports. His home is in
Atlanta, but he has not been there for any
length of time for years. He is acquaint-
ed with the Holy land, where he has acted
as guide for Cook tourists. He Is as
familiar with China as he is Worcester
County. Heis perfectly at home in the
frozen regions of the North or in the
sweltering tropics. He has shivered in
Behering sea, and felt the enervating
blasts of Africa's blistering suns. He
has stood by the pool of Sloan and
has gazed upon Mount Calvary. He has
visited the catacombs of Rome and
looked down the crater of Mount Yes
uvius. He has followed caravans across
the great Sahara. He has sailed the
Mediterranean, and has rounded the
great capes many times. Returning
once more to the land of his birth he
proclaims with vigor that after having
seen the world. there is no place so dear
and so sweet to him as Worcester County
Mr.. Collins is a relative of Messrs.
John J. and Oliver ID. Collins of this
town and of Francis Z. Collins. of New
ark. and is first cousin Of George Al
fred Townsend. the celebrated writer.
Mr.. Collins has been staying at New
ark with Mr.. Francis Collins for the past
two weeks. He left for Atlanta on
Monday of this week.
