FIRST WHITE BOY
WITH COLUMBUS
At Helm While Superiors
Slept, Youngster Was
Blamed For Wreck

Many phases of the life of Co.
lumbus offer mysteries that the his
torians have never been able to clear
away, and one student of the life of
the great explorer has come across
an incidental mystery that has an
appealing interest. It relates to a
boy who accompanied the expedi-
ton of 1492-the only boy among
its members, and consequently the
first white boy to set foot in Ameri-
ca.
The contemporary accounts of
the first expedition of Columbus
mention the boy in question only
once and that briefly. They indi-
cate that he was the only boy in the
expedition and they place on his
young shoulders the blame for the
great catastrophe that befell when
the Santa Maria was wrecked on the
coast of Hayti. To be sure the story
OF the wreck shows that the boy was
less to blame than his elders, but it
was easy enough to make him the
scapegoat. 1t was the night before
Christmas, 1892, ten weeks after the
discovery of the land, and Column
bus was pushing his search for gold
among the West Indies. The flag
ship, the Santa Maria, was skirting
the coast of Hayti, and late at night,
as the wind was light and the ship
barely moving, Columbus went to
his cabin for rest. He passed the
helm over to the captain. He, too,
soon felt the need of sleep and went
below. His successor at the tiller
was sailor and he shortly follow
ed the example of the admiral and
the master. Before he went he
| awakened the lad IN question and
told him to mind the helm.
The boy did not go to sleep. He
was doubtless live lad and he felt
the importance of being trusted to
steer the ship. But he was in strange
| waters and the currents were treach-
erous near that coast, says an ex-
change. The ship struck reef.
The admiral and crew rushed on
deck in terror. OF course they
blamed the boy. That was the way
of the world before 1892 and the
fashion has never changed.
That was the end of the Santa

Maria The crew reached the shore
In safety and made q fort from the
timbers of the wreck. In that fort,
which they called La Navidad fi1
honor of the day, about forty of the
crew remained while their compan-l
ions went home to Spain on the
Pinta and the Nina. One historian
mentions a tradition that the boy
remained with this number, but & is
only a tradition. The fate of the
forty is a mystery, for when the
second expedition OF Columbus
reached that island q year later there
were only a few eharred timbersi
and bones to be found. Perhaps the
boy perished there. His name has
not even come down to us, but the
brief glimpse that we have of him
is a fascinating one. There is some
thing to stimulate the Imagination In
that fleeting picture of the boy who.
stuck to his post while his supe-
riors slept.

CROSS IN RIVER
Epiphany to Be Celebrated
With Elaborate Cere-.
monies Tomorrow

Bulgarians in the borough will
celebrate Epiphany, the festival COM
memorating the baptism of Christ in
the River Jordan, with elaborate
ceremonies tomorrow. This celebra-
ton, which is the eighth consecutive
one since the. organization of the
local church, is expected to be the
largest ever.
Acommittee from the church mem
bers yesterday were successful in To-
eating a section along the river bank
at the foot of Francis street where
the water is not frozen. This section
church members claim is large
enough for the cross hurting serv-
ices.
The celebration will include the
usual ceremony of hurting a wooden
cross far into the icy waters of the
Susquehanna and its subsequent res-
cue by sturdy sons of the Balkans, a
long street parade and services in the
Bulgarian OthodoX Church, Front
and Franklin streets.
Two Hours Services
The. services in the church will be
held at 7.3O o'clock. After two hours
of worship the line of parade will be
headed by the Bulgarian Balkan
band and will move down Franklin
street to Main, down Main to Francis
and out Francis to the river, where
further ceremonies will be held.
The Rev. Father David Nakoff.
rector of the local church, will have
charge of the services at the church
and at the river bank, Epiphany is
celebrated by the Bulgarians thirteen
days later than in the Roman church
because the Bulgarian church clings
to the old Julian claendar.
Immediately after the celebration
the Bulgarian Balkan band will go
to Mt. Union with the Rev. Father
Nakoff, where they viii assist in q
similar celebration there. -

TEACHER PRAISES
STAR PUPIL WHO.
TOOK JERUSALEM

Denver-The pride of a teacher in
his star pupil is the pride of Major
Charles H. Tye, retired British off,
Ger, in the success of General Sir
e. H. II. Allenby, K. C. B., the con-
queror of Jerusalem.
Major Tye is in Denver living
with his daughter, Mrs. Barbara NJ.
MacLure. of No. 1927 Steele street
Back in 1882, when Major Tye
was captain and adjutant of the
Sixth (Inniskilling) dragons, sta
toned at Natal, South Africa. he
taught young Allenby the rudiments
of military science. .a.a
"Allenby was a likely lad and a
smart officer" said his old inStruc-
tor. HE paid strict attention to
business and gave early promise of
becoming a distinguished leader.
I'm fact, it is a remarkable coin
cidence that so many of the British
high commanders are cavalrymen.

of French, Haig, Byng, Robertson

Adjutants always reads out courts
martial, general orders and similar
pronouncements.
THE Colonel, who was known as
old Damme,' because he prefaced
nearly all his remarks with that
word, said, 'Ah, damme, no; it is my
duty. I'll read it.
During the time that he was
reading the prayers some of the
men began fidgeting about. What
is that noise about?' shouted the
Colonel. 'Damme, listen to the gos-
