appeared under the bows of our ship.
On her deck 1 saw a number of men
with an officer whom l took to be an
Austrian. The submersible had her
cola psible lifeboats out. and the sub
marine crew were pulling people out
of the water onto her deck.
The officer was holding up his hands,
shouting to the people in the water to
be calm. 1 heard him say in perfect
English:

ship, we are not murderers.

Third Order Cancelled.

The third plan exempted wheat ships
from America from seizure until they
had made another voyage after un-
loading their cargoes here. and pro-
vided a system for licensing British
bottoms trading between foreign ports
Hardly was the ink dry on the circu-
lars announcing this plan before an
other order was issued caanceling it's
provisions.
The shipowners besought the govern
ment to accept some expert advice be-
fore proceeding further The result
was the formation of two committees.
The failure to publish complete details
of the plan is considered significant by
shipownerS, who fear the government
may change its scheme for the fourth
time.
The first of these bodies, called the
ship licensing committee, will issue
licenses for trading between foreign
ports. The second is the requisitioning
committee, which will anticipate the
urgent requirements of the country,
and, if necessary, exercise a pre-emp

Several Charterers Protest.

Several icharterers here whose inter-
ests lie with neutral or other foreign
shipping profess to see in the licensing
plan an insidious attempt to safeguard
British shipping against the growing
mercantile marines of other countries,
which, although not yet strong enough
to wrest trade from the bottoms flying
the union jack. may be able to do so
soon after peace is declared They
claim that by threatening under the
licensing plan to withdraw certain
ships upon which traders depend for
their goods, the shippers could be
forced to sign ironclad contracts to use
nothing but British bottoms over
long period of years.
In support of this theory, they point
out that in certain trades between the
United Staes and South America, the
withdrawal of the British bottoms
would bring ruin on the shippers, for at
the present moment it would be i'm
possible to secure ships flying other
fiags to take their places. If this
theory is correct, it can be readily ap-
preciated that the licensing plan
places a powerful trade weapon in the
hands of the British government,
which will not only enable 1t to con-
troll it's own exports and imports, but
will give it tremendous influence
over the sea borne trade of other coun--
tries.

Submarine Appears.
The Barulos, Mrs. Egan said, carried
only four lifeboats, each with a capac-
ity for thirty people. The picking up
of the crew of the Sailor Prince created
a feeling of excitement which was at
fever heat when suddenly a submarine
came to the surface about two miles
distant and fired shot over the Baru-
los. evidently as a signal for her to
stop.
Instantly wild panic broke loose .
said Mrs. Egan. THE four lifeboats
of the Barufos were resting in their
chocks. while swung alongside were
the two boats in which the men from
the Sailor Prince had made their
escape.
Led by the crew and the fireroom
force. the passengers rushed for the
boats. Women, unable to get to the
boats, threw their children into the sea
and jumped after them. Frightened
sailors cut the ropes holding the small
boats. and when the latter crashed into
the water three of the six were swamp
ed and emptied of their human loads.

following the Of advice Of their old
chief, Yona&uska, who said, Keep
your backs to the setting sun. If
the white man takes your lands
from you that you love SO well, he
will take the land he offers you in
the west, whenever he needs them
for homes for the pale face men,
AS the result of their refusal, in
1885 the government sent soldiers
into the mountains of Western
North Carolina to remove these In
dams by force to their home. The
Cherokees fed to the most remote
coves in the mountains, and many
OF them starved to death rather
than surrender. About half Of them
put themselves under command Of
the noted warrior U'stala, who
made his abode in the lofty peaks
at the head of the Oconaluftee.
The task of capturing these fugi-
tives proved to be much more diff
cult than was expected and result
ed in the soldiers finding only a
few. Now [ do not mean to leave
the impression that all the Indians
refused to go. Some were submis-
sive. For instance, one old patriarch,
when the soldiers suddenly sur
priSed him and surrounded his
house las this is the way they did
to prevent any escaping) calmly
called his children and grand child
rem around him, ard kneeling down,
babe them pray with him in their
own language, while the astonished
soldiers looked on in silence; then
rising he led the way into exile.
Now we have a type of those who
were not submissive. Another old
man, Tsali, "Charlie," was likewise
seized with his wife, his brother, his
three sons and their families. His
wife, who being unable to travel
fast, was proded with bayonets to
hasten her steps. Charlie, enraged

from WaynesvilIe, North Carolina,
William Holland Thomas, father
and chief Of the Cherokees was
born. His father, Richard Thomas,
who was related to President Zach
any Taylor, came Of a Welsh family,
Who had immigrated to Virginia at
an early period. While on his moth
er's side he descended from a Mary
land family of Revolutionary stock.
Being unusually bright for his age,
he vas employed by Felix Walker,
when only twelve years Of age, to
tend an Indian trading store on
Soco Creek, in the present Jackson
county. The store was branch of
d larger establishment which walk
er kept at Waynesville. The trade
was chiefly in skins and ginsing, or
Sang" The contract with Thomas
was for three years service for a
total compensation of one hundred
dollars and expenses; but Walker
devoted so much of his time and
attention to studying law that the
#aynesville store was closed for
debt, and at the close of his contract
youn9 Thomas was obliged to &C
cept in payment a lot of second
hand law books. How well he made
use of them is evident from his
subsequent service in the State Sen
ate and in other official capacities.
Very soon after young Thomas
began his work in the trading store
he attracted the attention of You
aguska" or Drowning Bear, the
acknowledged chief Of all the Choro-
KEGS then living on the waters OF
Tuckaseigee, Oconaluftee and the
old Kituhwa country. On hearing
the lad had neither father mol
brother the old chief adopted him
as his son and as such he was from
that time forth recoznized in the
Jackson County journal. (Sylva, N.C.) 19??-19??, 1915-06-25

learned the language as we'll as a
white man has ever it, so that in
his declining years it dwelt more
strongly in his memory than his
mother tongue After the Cherokee
alphabet he learned also to read
and write the language.
In 1919 the lands on the Tucka-
sei9ee and its branches we're sold
by the Indians, and Thomas moth
er soon after returned from Waynes-
vile to a farm which she had pur-
chased on the west bank of Ocona-
luftee, opposite the mouth of Soco,
where her son came to live with
her, as he had set up business for
himself in Qualla. Yonaguska and
his people still continued to reside
on small mountain in the same
neighborhood In 1884 Thomas
purchased farm on the northern
banks of the Tuckaseigee, just
above the present town of Whittier
Here he built a homestead and
named it Stekoa after an Indian
town which was destroyed by
Rutherford, which had occupied
the same site, This farm is now
one of the most fertile in jackson
county, and is owned by his son,
Mr.. James Thomas of Waynesvil]e.
At this time Thomas was pro-
prietor Of five trading stores. But
we must return to the Indian side
of the story.
In the year 1924 the Congress of
the United States set apart a large
boundary of land west of the Missis-
sippi, afterwards known as the In
dian Territory, as a permanent Re-
servation for the Indian tribes east
of the Mississippi, and passed a law
saying all Indians east of this river
