Miss Mary E. Knisely and Mrs.
Harry Reilly arrived last evening at
the Knisely home Front and Maclay
streets, and have been kept busy re-
lating their thrilling experience on
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie as she
made her way back to this country
speeding in three days, after a four
days trip within a few hundred miles
of their destination in England. The
young women say that first they all
felt that Captain Polack cared more
for the safety of the gold he carried
than for his passengers, but that later,
when he had brought them all to a
safe port at Bar Harbor, they cheered
him as he came into the diningroom,
and afterward each shook his hand
and gave him personal thanks.
Friends have heard from ATTORNEY
General Bell, who is in Germany, and
from State Veterinarian Marshall, who
is in London. So far the Department
of Labor and Industry has been un

no apprehension is felt for him.

THE LONG INTERVALS WHEN NO
WORD CAME.

The isolation OF Avakubi. which IS

passed without any word from Lang and
Chaplin. They were months OF anxiety
for relatives and friends. and grave con-
Germ was felt for their welfare There
was talk OF a relief expedition. II was
on November -. 1909. that the two men
heard about Dr. Cook and the pole. And
II was on November -. 1909, that Lang
dispatched TO the museum sixty-six-
page report But this was not known
here. and il was only IN the following
April. when fears had been entertained
again. that the tardy package came TO the
museum. five months in transit
Again in 1872 after hearing nothing for
nearly a year, the same fears were
aroused again. The two men and their
servants had in the mean time been dill
gently working in the vicinity Of Made,
where they secured the okapi group: then
through the dense forests TO Niangara. in
the Northern Congo. and for more than
wear i'm the northeastern part OF the Congo.
The silence was finally broken in Sep
TENDER. 1912, when Mrs. c. Chaplin mother
of the Columbia student heard from him.
AS in the previous period OF absence OF
news the museum authorities had begun
thinking of a relief expedition.
Some idea OF the scope OF the work was
shown in the letter from Chaplin. He said
a report had been prepared and forwarded
TO President Osborn Besides large min
