LAKE HAS THREE WONDERS
But Floating Island in Loeb Lomond,
Scotland, Is Not the Only One
Which Is Known.

-
In Loeb Lomond, in Scotland, there
Are said to be three wonders-fish
without fins, waves without wind and
a floating island. AS far as the float
Ing island is concerned, observes an
exchange, Loeb Lomond has no monop-
oily, for floating islands are not un-
known in other parts of the world.
They are found on the White Nile,
where they go by the name of "sudd'
Or "scudd," and in Lake Gatun. in the
Panama Canal Zone, there are (or
were) several. 1t is said these float
ing islands all have the same kind Of
origin. They are merely masses Of
vegetation and earth loosened from
the bottom by the rising water and
blown about the surface. They are
composed of sticks and leaves with
mating of soil, upon which there is
usually rank growth of grass. The
largest floating island ever seen In
Lake Gatun had an area Of about
three acres. Most of the floating
Islands in this lake have been towed
and f1oated over the spillway. to be
carried down to the Atlantic ocean In
the swift current Of Chagres river, but
there are still stray ones to be seen.

Washington Was Wise

There is something of poetic justice In the fact
that one Of the first of the old sluices to be re-
habilitated was the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
building of which was pushed by General George
Washington who was the first president of the
construction company which called 1t into being.
The Father of His Country was so convinced that
the future prosperity of the nation had much to
do with water transportation by canal that he
obtained leave of absence while he was Still
commander Of the Revolutionary army that he
might start the survey for the waterway with
which he hoped to connect the waters Of the
Chesapeake bay With the unsalted Ohio. The
project was never realized, even in part, until
long after his death, but to this day the canal is
a carrier of trade between Cumberland Nd. and
Georgetown. in the District Of Columbia. 1t de-
rives it's water partly from the Potomac, and II
deepened would be of much Importance to the
national capital. It has for years been under
railroad control. The government has now placed
additional boats upon it and the lock crews are
working night and day. The channel is becom-
ing as busy as it in Civil DAYS. when
300 boats, ten times the number which it had
when the federal authorities took CHARGE were
in constant operation-Walter Harrington in the
American Review Of Reviews.

An able seaman today gets $75 month and his
board. During wartime he receives a bonus of 80
per cent on his wages on voyages into the war-zone
waters of Europe. His life is insured without
cost to him to the extent of twice his yearly
ings.
His future is assured if he sticks-:lnd the ship
ping board believes he will stick. 1t is estimated
that not less than 100000 officers and men will be
wanted to man the merchant marine after the wa.
and 1t is expected that every man accepted will be
an American citizen.
The shipping board is training officers us we'll as
crews for the new merchant marine. 1t has 80
technical schools, in navigation and engineering.
where experienced men receive free instruction
fitting them for officers licenses
From June, 1917. when these schools We're start
ed, to September, 1918, more than 10000 students
were admitted to them. Every student was an
American citizen, fitted to enter by two years at
sea, or, in the CT engineers, equivalent tech
meal experience
Graduates Of these schools are the bridges Of
American merchant ships today in all of the seven
seas, and the present classes of the school contain
more than 1000 students.

NOR. The submarine peril
has acted only as q slim
illus to merchant marine
recruiting.
These facts make the
shipping board hopeful for
the future of the merchant
marine personnel.
1t is expected that n
large percentage of these
wartime sailors will re-
main in the merchant ma
rine after the return Of
peace. The inducements
for them to do so are many
and practical. There is
great opportunity for rapid
promotion, and the pay is
the best in any maritime

WRECKED ON CORAL REEF
Seventeen Ships Captured by German

WashingtOn.-The full story of the

Smith OF the American schooner r. c..
Slade and three other mariners. who
landed at Tutuila in an open boat Sep
TENDER 20 after being marooned on
M0peha island by the master of the
Seeadler when the raider grounded
and was abandoned.
The Seeadler, formerly the Ameri-
can ship Pass Of Balmaha, was CAP
tured by German submarine and sent
to Bremen and fitted out as a raider.
A picked crew was placed aboard,
some of whom spoke Norwegian. and
sent out into the Atlantic under the
guise OF Norwegian ship.

When- the men from the Slade ar
rived aboard the raider they found
nine prisoners from the American
schooner A. B. Johnson of San Fran
cisco, captured three days before. On
July s, Smith stated, the schooner Ma
Mia was captured and dynamited after
Mia was captured and Gynamited.
For about three weeks the raider
kept beating up and down looking for
passing ships. Meeting none, they
went south to Mopeha on July 81,
anchored on the lee side of the island,
and on August the ship was driven
hard and fast ashore After working,
all afternoon they gave her up as LOST
and took ashore everything they could
move, including the boats, gear and
wireless. The wireless plant, very
powerful one, was set up between two
coconut trees.
On August %, Captain Smith re-
lated, the German officers fitted up
and armed small boat and started
for the Cook islands or the Fiji is
lands, where they hoped to capture an
American ship and come back for the
crew. Count Won Luckner, the mas
ter, was in charge. They were never
heard of again at Mapeha island.
On September 5 a French trading
schooner from Papeete, the Lutece,
put in at the island. First Lieuten-
ant King took motor boat and ma
chine gun and captured the ship She
had large cargo Of -four, salmon and
beef and supply Of water. King and
his crew dismantled the wireless plant
and left the island in the Lutece that
night, leaving 48 souls, including the
Americans.
A small boat had been left behind.
and the marooned men fitted it up.
The captain of the Manila, with
small crew, started out in the boat for
Tahiti on September 8. They failed
to reach Tahiti and returned exhaust
ed on September 16. Captain Smith.
with three men, took the small boat
and managed to reach Page Pago ten
days later.
Recent dispatches indicate that the
captain of the Seeadler and five of his
crew were captured on September 2l
off the Fiji islands by Fijian consta.
bulary. What became of the men who
left Mopeha island in the Lutece is
not known.
