that when it comes to naming

Calmly Turns Crank.

Marine observers at Atlantic High
lands Yesterday rubbed the lenses OF
their classes in establishment and took
a closer view of the waters OF SANDY
Hook when they saw the air filled with
masts, spars and planks from what an
instant before seemed to be a three
masted schooner, riding peacefully at
anchor.
A dull, booming sound echoed over
the bay. and when the air was cleared
of the flying spray. smoke and debris,
there was nothing but a mass OF tan
gled wreckage floating on the water.
Near the spot several persons were
seen foundering about, apparently IN
danger of drowning.
Investigation proved that the demoI-
ished sailing ship was the Henry ~
May. of 2G4 tons burden, l2l feet IN
length and built for.y-fOur years ago
1T Milford, Del. A heavy charge OF
dynamite placed in the hold had been
exploded. When the marine observers
focused their glasses accurately they
saw tug standing close by, and on the
bow a young man industriously grind
ing the handle of a moving picture
camera.
Inasmuch as the schooner was dyna-
mited in a spot where traffic IS heavy
and the water was covered with wreck
age that constituted q menace to navl-
cation there was talk of future discus
sion between the government and the
motion picture people.

To write the stuff you can't:
