The selection of West Point as the

my was due to its advantages from
a military viewpoint. for its rugged
beauty and its severe climate were
calculated TO be beneficial in the foun
dalton of that sort OF character 50
essential to successful officer.
The academy was formally opened
on July 4, 1892. with ten cadets and
FIVE officers as instructors. It's success
is said to be due to the administrative
ability OF General Sylvpnus Thayer,
who became its superintendent in 1917
and served as such for sixteen years
This officer Is known as the father Of
West Point

ment about $500. All cadets are on

BOARDED AN ICEBERG.
The Floating Island That Wrecked :
Ship Saved Its Crew.


Ship Saved Its Crew.
Curious indeed was the experience of
the crew of the German ship Hansa
with an iceberg. The Hansa struck
an ice island in latitude 81 degrees a
little before midnight in a freezing
gale. The impact carried her bow far
up on the berg and imbedded it firmly
in the ice. Her back was broken by
the force Of the collision and before
morning was wrenched away from the
forward part by the battering seas
and sank.
When the Hansa struck the boats
were lowered, but only one escaped
being swamped after pulling away
from the doomed ship. 1t was soon
found, however, that this boat was
leaking and that no amount of bailing
would keep it afloat more than a few
hours, so the mate in command of it
made for the berg and succeeded In
climbing up on 1t to q place of tenn
pOrary safety. From the broken tim
bers Of the Kansas bow the castaways
built a rude shelter and shared sea
DlfUS 10 exc out tne SCduly supplies
they had been able to save from the
ship
AS the ice island drifted farther
south into warmer waters and began
perceptibly TO shrink the shipwrecked
men were prey to constant fear that
the melting mass might turn turtle any
time and precipitate them all In the
sea, from which it had so pTovidential-
~ saved them. Also they feared it
might "calve" and the part breaking
away from the main bulk might carry
them with it to destruction. The con
slant grinding and grooming Of the
great ice raft filed their hearts with
| constant terror, and the deserted seas
added to their despair.
But the berg held together for eight
| months. and the Hansa' 5 men Travelled
$50 miles before they were finally pick
ed up in latitude Al degrees suffering
| from frostbites and hunger, but other
wise no worse for their long exposure.
