TELLS TALE OF SEA
Old Skipper Claims Islands in the
Pacific.
Suit Discloses Thrilling Romance Of
Sorensen's Adventures at Sea and
Fight for Ownership of Dis
covered Land.

Washington. narrative of adven-
ture that would have set Robert Louis
Stevenson's fingers tingling Is dis
closed by the filing In the Supreme
court of a suit involving title to GER
tain South Sea islands alleged to have
been discovered by the defendant.
Niels Peter Sorensen, while he was
master of a sailing ship in the Pacific.
The suit was filed by Frederick Gus
tav Shritzel and John Gross, through
Attorneys F. D. Dawson and j. w.
Marshall. Jr.
Evidence is offered to show that the
plaintiffs acquired an interest In So
rensen's claims to the islands and the
court is asked to enjoin the latter
from carrying out later contracts with
other unknown parties. to compel the
disclosure of the terms of these later
contracts. and to see that any con-
tracts already completed are made
to operate for the benefit OF the plain
tiffs as well as for the defendant.
1t is stated that Sorensen, who has
been a citizen of the United States
since 1870. and who served from 1867
to 1870 in the United States navy, dis
covered the islands. which are de-
scribed as the Treasury group, Zach-
ma or North island of the Solomon
group and Green island Of the CatR-
ract group.
The evidence of his title, 1t is stateb,
is in the logbook Of the ship he COIL
manded. documents of British officials,
certified copies of registration by Aus
tralian officials. other written evi-
dence and agreements with native
chiefs, the latter lost by British ofl-
Gals when they were held for regiI-
tration
1t is alleged that Sorensen BEGAN 9
involved in disputes in regard to trail
ing, mining and other rights Of the
islands and that British officials u
Australia attempted to deprive him
of his rights by persecution and other
wise.
The plaintiffs aver that Soreness
came to Washington late in 1914 CO
early in 1915 to seek the good offices
of the United States government IN
establishing his rights to the islands
and in protecting his interests, and
that he secured the services Of the
plaintiffs to assist him, agreeing u
give each one-fourth interest in his
claims.
1t is further alleged that the defenlr
ant has recently repudiated his con-
tracts with the plaintiffs and has en-
tered into other contracts with ur'
known parties.
With the bill of complaint the plaiL
tiffs filed copy Of the plea in behalf
of Sorensen. and themselves filed with
the state department on June last
asking that this government intercedt
with Great Britain for the clearing Of
title to the islands.
