PECULIARITIES OF
The GULF STREAM
Observed by Capt. Johnston of
the Revenue Cutter Seneca
While On Patrol

WASHINGTON. April 17-While
the revenue cutters Seneca and Mi
anna, on the North Atlantic ice patrol,
found bat little ice during the month
OF March that was menace TO navi-
cation, the discovery of a phenomenal
current forming an eddy in the Gulf
stream Is recorded In report 10 the
naval photographic ONCE and head
quarters OF the revenue cutter ser
vice,
"One peculiar point we noticed"
says Capt. Johnston. commanding the
Seneca, was that as we come out or
the Gulf stream. going westward. the
sea water drops suddenly from 62 20
go degrees then rises gradually TO S6
degrees AS the Labrador current is
entered the temperature falls again
suddenly 10 about 81 degrees The
Gulf stream was found 70 be running
very strong, nearly northeast, a. q
rate OF u mile and a half an hours
The water between the extreme cold
and the extreme warm currents par
takes OF the direction of the Gulf
stream. but very much, diminished in
velocity. moving about six miles a
day"
! Capt. Johnston discovered two rib
bons OF heavy ice. each several miles
in length, coming together at the
southern ends and forming the letter
U. with a good-sized berg almost IN
the center This was about lat. A.

from the north apparently had fol-

east and eddied around with II. melt

the warmer water
This phenomenon absolutely cor
roborates the observations ! made
last season as 10 the movements OF
the currents in this vicinity says
capt Johnson, the ribbon OF slob

could n done with piece OF chalk
on blackboard.
The peculiarly OF the current in

transatlantic vessels from the Ice so

that larger fields and bergs yet may
be brought down from Labrador. OF

fore il reached the steamer lanes. A
field OF northern slob was found. ex-
tending I'm long, narrow r. on from
lat AZ 30 and long in general
northeasterly direction. Further west
was a group of large GROWERS. some
extending 20 feet above water Two
of the bergs sighted in February had
almost melted away, the larger being
carried about 100 miles northeast in
the Gulf stream.
Gulls OF all descriptions, in larger
numbers and greater varieties than
ever before had been seen by the
men on the patrol we're found. nearly
always some distance away from the
ice. but apparently finding food in
the slick caused by the fresh water
from the melting Ice which covered
an area OF several miles.

LONDON, April III IL. Weeks
now living in the suburb of footing
has seen lie in the raw and has had
more than enough OF stirring adyeu
ture in one OF the widest parts OF the
earth.
For over 30 years Mr. Weeks has
laDored as 4 missionary among the
cannibal tribes OF the Congo He was
the first Englishman TO agitate against
the establishment OF the Congo as a
free state, and he was an indetatiga.

Congo fefor massociatlon, in lighting

cities in that region
Although prevented by illness from
an immediate return TO Central Africa
Mr.. Weeks delights TO talk about the
country and the people. and he was
freely communicative when reporter
visited him. He declines TO admit,
however. that he. like some other
teller OF travellers tales" has had
narrow escapes from death by the
score. Yet he has TO confess 10 some
thrilling experiences:
On one occasion, as the mission
steamer drew into "a hatiEe village
which had not been visited before, the
party perceived the. beRch SO be liter
ally black with humanity AS they
approached more closely they found
that the men were armed with bows
and arrows, with which they threat
ened the occupants OF the boat, dar-
ing them 10 land. Only by a display
of, the utmost GOODNESS an dby conyinc.
Al, O. g,taTVN
ed were the mission party able TO
proceed in safety. ~
1T was certainly an anxious time,
said Mr.. Weeks, and not until we
had turned out boat for the sea and
were beyond range could we feel that
our lives were safe. Afterward we
learned that at the very place a
native had been shot in cold blood as
target. Two officers on the bridge
or steamer made bet that neither
could kill a man who was walking
along the beach; but one of them was
successful
That's just the point. White men
are looked upon as practically one
race, so that il come European, no
matter OF what nationality kills a
native without reason, they say. one
OF our tribe has been killed, we viii
kin one of theirs the first chance We

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS SUED FOR
$4,000 DAMAGES

$4,000 DAMAGES
Citizens who have lodged news
paper auto trucks as they careened
madly down the street will probably
get a lot of satisfaction out OF the
suit for $4,000 damages filed against
the Chicago Daily News by Attorney
Charles N. French, 80 LaSalle street,
on behalf of William ]. B. Nielsen, II,
1928 w. Madison street. .r.
Young Nielsen is lying in a hos
pital, partially partially paralyzed, be-
cause a Daily News auto truck ran
recklessly down a boulevard.
Nielsen was riding east on Polk
street, on a one-cylinder auto driven
by Stanley Kline, when The Daily
News auto truck came tearing south
on Sacramento boulevard.
There was a crash and the small
auto in which Nielsen was riding was
driven against an electric light pole.
The lamp from the pole struck Mel
sen and he fell unconscious. K1ines
automobile was completely demolish-
ed by the force of the heavy auto
truck.
The accident occurred Feb. 81.
Nielsen is still in a dangerous con-
dition and it is feared he may not
recover.
Attorney French filed his suit yes
terday in the Superior Court.
