Finds Huts Upon a Lonely Island

~ UIDNUNCS at Washington, those

What now?" enjoyed a considerable
thrill Of mystery and curiosity in dis
cussing the recent report of Rear Ad-
miral Southland, who on board the
West Virginia visited Palmyra Island
and 81 of lesser isles, lying about 1000
miles southwest of Honolulu, about 80
miles from Tanning Island.
The Palmyra group, says Chapple's
News Letter, was proclaimed a part Of
Hawaii in 1882, but since it has APP
peared to the state department only re-
Gently that Great Britain had annexed
them in 1889, Rear Admiral Southland
was dispatched with the West Virginia
to explore the group thoroughly. No
living person was found in the archi-
pelago, although bird life abounded.
The most mysterious find was a lit
tie settlement of three huts In a
densely wooded slope of Islet 81, the
presence of which was thoroughly
screened from anything by the closest
search. Two of the huts were rooted
with corrugated iron and one with

near one of the terminals, received
Into his body a current of at least 200,-

A wonder to the audience was the
frying of the egg without any visible
