The story developed bit by bit.
The colonists in their greed for gold
and women had stolen gold from the
Indians and, not satisfied with three
wives each granted them by the In

more in rough encounters with the
native husbands. Jealousics became

Caught BY Modern Anchor

A modern anchor hoisted with
chains and steam in the more or less
obscure harbor at Port de PAX
fouled this ancient hook in Deem
Der and brought it to light. 1t was
hauled ashore and allowed to remain
there mora because in the harbor bed
it would have been a future menace
TO other modern steam-hoisted
anchors than because Of it's histori-
cal significance, If it is truly an
anchor Of the frat feet Of Columbus
and possibly the first "hook" Of the
Santa Maria, as might be indicated,
it had remained in the ooze Of Port
de Paix Harbor over four and q
quarter centuries.
Just across the horseshoe-shaped
harbor from what is to-day Cape
Haytien, the second largest city in
NJ. Dartiguenave's little West
Indian republic--famous recently for
United States marines-is the site
f La Navidad, so called by Colum-
bus because the timbers Of the
wrecked Santa Maria we're dragged
ashore there and fashioned into a
small fort for the unfortunate crew
Of the flagship. Nothing today re-
mains on the exact spot where the
first settlement and fort in the
Western World vas planted. Dense
tropical foliage frolics over the site.
History records how Columbus left
the Santa Maria's complement Of
about fifty men at La Navidad and
returned TO Spain TO make his report
to Ferdinand and Isabella. Return
ing on his second voyage, this time
on a larger and stancher flagship,
the Marigalanti, leading three large
and twelve small ships, Columbus
landed first at Monte Christi (Santo
Domingo) on November 25, 1893.
Here bodies were found which init
mated their European origin, and
fear was expressed for the safety Of
the colony westward at La Navidad.
The feet headed into this Haytlan
harbor two days later. A landing
party confirmed the worst. The
charred ruins Of the fort and settle
ment were found. Not q Spaniard
remained alive.

STRANGER THAN
 FICTION" N"-R|ALTO
Katherine Macdonald Has Wonderful Role in Ex-
 citing Production

From society roles to that of a gangstress in an underworld stoRy has proved step not too difficult for the art of Katherine Macdonald, considered by many the quietest and most beautiful actress of the screen. Owing to Miss MacDonald's extraor- dinary beauty she has been accused of posing in many of her productions, though her posing was sufficient for entertainment. However. the beauti- ful star Is by no means poser in Stranger Than Fiction at the Rialto, she has an extremely active part in an ultra exciting production.
 Many of the incidents of Stranger Than Fiction" are of a startling kind. An airplane flight from the top of a sky scraper and a fight in mid-air is breathlessly exciting. Other incl dents occurring down Tn Chinatown, where the heroine follows her sweet heart, are of a sensational, startling type.
 Wesley Barry is cast in the pie ture as an odd little fellow in hat and suit much the style worn by Dickens oliver Twist" or other Dickens boy types. His odd little performance adds considerable humor to the story.
