original occupant of the house was
William Stephens Smith, son-in-law
of John Adams, second President OF
the United States. There is a. period
when the ownership and occupancy is

By EDWARD w. PACKARD.

The interest of the world was excit- ed and its imagination stimulated last week by the remarkable story of the 20 lost merchant ships, the mystery of whose disappearance our government is trying to solve. Not since the days of the German U-boats has there been any such a series of maritime disas- ters, nor was there any such before the war. number of these 20 ves- sells which have disappeared within a few months were American or sailing from American ports. The most mys- tifying of the instances was that of the American schooner Carroll A. Deering, which ran ashore off the North Caro- lima coast last January with all sails set and every member of the crew missing, as were its small boats. More than two months later the following message in a bottle was picked up near Cape Hatteras:
 "Deering captured by oil-burning boat, something like chaser; taking off everything, handcufing crew. Crew hiding all over ship. No chance to make escape. Finder please notify headquarters of Deering."
 Naturally the favorite theory con- cerning these events is that a pirate craft is operating in the Atlantic. Rear Admiral Mutton, commandant of the Philadelphia navy yard, inclines to this view. He says:
 'It would be possible for an outlaw craft to run wild for a short time, and it could do considerable damage to lhf TR io r1fr fn was or is operating with forged ships papers. It Is always necessary, when a ship enters port, to have its papers examined, and this craft could operate for a short time with forged papers, but in the end it would disclose its identity.
 'It is true, also, that by stripping vessels of provisions and fuel the out law could continue operations a long time, but eventually it would have to put into some port for repairs. Machin- cry, you know, cannot run forever without being overhauled and repaired.
 ''If such craft is operating it will have to return to port at some time, and when 1t does, assume there will be interesting developments"
 Another theory is based upon the | fact that about a year and half ago the New York police seized documents which revealed a plot which the Uni ted Russian Workers of the United | States and Canada were forming to | get their members to Russia. Those | members who were out of work were being instructed to ship on vessels in sufficient numbers to seize the vessels at sea and steer them into soviet Rus sian ports.
 The Departments of State and Con- merce, however, hold to the plain pi- rate theory and a worldwide lookout for the missing ships and their crews has been ordered.
