BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
H.. OF GATUN LAKE

Officers AID enlisted men of the
United States army may now enjoy
a boating eXcursi m on Gatun lake,
which is rapidly assuming the di-
mansions it will have when the
canal is finished and romises soon
tn become renowned % one of the
most beautiful places on the beaten
trackes of travel.
A man in Gatun has fitted out a
large launch OIL which he conducts
sightseeing parties from Gatnn
to Gorgona. The lighthouse service
is using the lake already in con-
struction work; three gasoline
launches at Gorgoua and twice as
many canoes propelled by paddles
or rugged with sails are making
venturesome trips on the wind
swept surface, and natives far back
in the bush are bringing their pro-
duce to market in crude boats on
the lake, gliding in caycuos over
fields that were cultivated only
few months ago. The backing
Up of the water has made every
little creek that formerly poured
into the Chagres water high way
through the woods.
That the men of the army, says
the Army and Navy journal, are
having beautiful scenic pictures to
fill their minds and to enrich their
memories though the coming years
is made plain by this description in
the last Canal Record of scene on
the Frijoles river:
Last week four canoe loads of
men came up the river at sunset,
when the myriad tints in the sky
were reflected in the water and the
drops from the paddles glowed pink.
Laughing and smiling they drove
the canoes through the widening
channels, and one who saw them
coming up the tree bordered land
might have though them an incar-
nation of the old print of the con-
quista dores on a voyage of dis
covery." ,..
One gets an idea of how fast
vegetables grow in Panama, for
where rock and earth were being
dumped three or four years ago
trees and bushes are growing five
or six feet high. One effect of the
rise of the water has been to shake
the skcepticism.of the bush dwellers,
who until Gently could not be
made to believe that it would be
necessary for them to leave the area
to be flooded by the lake. The
settlers were all reimbursed by the
government for their holdings or
improvements many month ago,
and generally they have moved a
mile or more back from the lake,
where they have built their huts,
or in to the townsites set aside for
that purpose.

FOUND DESERTED
i VESSEL At SEA

At Newport News. Va, another
mystic cry of the deep, p1acti ally
para lleling the unexplained dis
appearance of the crew Of the
schooner Marie Celeste several
years ago, has been reported by the
British tank steamer Roumanian.
On,J anUary 10. churning along ten
days out Of Port ARTHUR and near
the Azores, she picked up the
Norwegian bark Remittent, SEA-
W Gritty. provisioned and fully rig

no inoicatiCn Of the crews fate.
The Roumnian, after towing the
Remittent to within 100 miles of
Cape Henry, lost her In a violent
gale. %. ......f ...s,
The Marie Cleste was found at
sea with a pot boiling in her galley
and her captains papers on the
cabin table and every indication
that her crew had been aboard
within a few hours of her discovery.
But nothing was ever heard of her
skipper or crew.
The story of the Remittent is
scarcely less strange. While the
Roumania was coming upon her the
Remittent with tiller banging to
and fro, was running wild first to
one point If the compass and then
to another. The Roumania lower
ed boats to take line to the bark.
After more than an hours jockey

sailed n"swoops and dashes now stop
ping dead atremble in the eye of
the wind and then bounding away
to Tie rrat king of what canvas

bo t finally caught and boarded her
Her deck planks once swabbed
and ho!ystoned TO glistening, bore
the marks of many feet but there
was nothing to explain the dis
appearance of her master and crew.
In her cabin some odds and ends
rolled and clinked in the corners
but the lockers and dra Ners were, un.
disturbed and her charts and pa pers
we're quite secure. In her water
tanks there was a full supply of
resh water; and her stores of salt
horse and biscuit were nut depict
ed. A main sail and two jibs were
furled snugly and her life boats
swung at the davits.
The Roumanian's boarders bent
hawser to their prize and took
her in town. but in a gale met 100
miles off Cape Henry Captain
Claridge lost the Remitent.
Twice the Roumania attempted
to launch boats to carry another
line aboard the derelict, but each
time they were dashed against her
sides and crushed against the iron
plates by heavy seas. The boat
crews escaped drowning by the
narrowest margins. Captain Cla-
ridge finally gave up the attempt
and made for port, leaving the Re-
mittent at the mercy of the wind
and sea No ship has reported her
since.
The Remittent was comman ded
by Captain Torgerson and said
from Rio do Sui October Is for
Liverpool. She was of 35l tons, a
comparatively small shin and pro-
badly in addition to her master a
crew of FIVE or six.
