Coal ashes have little value as ferti-
Iizer, their use being mainly to loosen
the soil and make IL more workable.
They are most valuable on heavy clay
soil. but should be screened to take

MEANT TOE FOR FISH BAIT
Man Adrift in Boat Off Nantucket
Mass, Was Going to Cut 1t Off
When Rescued.

Rockland, Me.-After being adrift
II days in disabled motorboat, A. B.
Thinning of Nantucket, Mass, was
rescued by fishermen off the Island of
Metinic, 20 miles from here. He was
much exhausted and nearly starved.
Tuning left Nantucket ON July 10
to go to Plymouth in his matorboat to
see the Pilgrim pageant. The engine
became disabled off Nantucket and
the 42-fOot boat drifted to sea in a
fog. The man had no nourishment ex-
cept a little fruit, which he ate early
that day, and no fresh water except
that caught during occasional show
ers.
Trimmings mind wandered somewhat
after his rescue, but in lucid moments
he was able to tell briefly of his ex-
periences. He said he was on the
point of cutting off toe to use as
bait for fishing If he had to go an
other day without food.

Capt. Road Amundsen Hopes to

Locked in Ice.

Believes Ocean Current Running

g. Into Atlantic Ocean.

Seattle, Wash.-From the remotest,
most inaccessible spot on earth-the
north pole-a wireless message will be
flashed to the civilized world, if the
plans of Capt. Roald Amundsen, dis
cOyerer of the south pole and famous
arctic explorer, are carried out.
Captain Amundsen's schooner Maud
on which he hoped to drift past the
pole with the ice foes, was disabled
by broken propeller off Cape Siberia.
after he had spent two years in push
ing around the eastward arctic pas
sage from Norway. The explorer left
his vessel and crew to await break
in the ice and proceeded to Nome, la
ter coming to Seattle on a recent ship.
Will Install Wireless on Ship.
The Maud has no wireless apparat-
us, but Captain Amundsen expects to
install one when the craft is brought
here some time this summer to be re-
paired and refitted. Captain Amund-
sen explained that his party had been
cut off from communication with other
human beings for two years, with but
one break-his trip out to Nome last
year.
THE war was in its most critical
period when we left the world" he re-
called, land for months we Speculated
in vain on the course of events. 1t
was December, 1919, more than year
after the signing of the armistice, that
we met a Russian trader who told us
what had happened. Then l deter

To Sail Next Summer.
Captain Amundsen said he would
spend the next year in the United
States, probably most of it around
Seattle, and would sail from this port
next summer.
The last voyage tended only to con-
firm his previous theories about mag
netic properties of the polar basin, the
explorer affirmed. He expressed faith
in his belief that an ocean current run
ming nOItheasterly from Cape Serdze
would carry him past the pole and
eventually into the Atlantic ocean.
1T will take three years-perhaps
longer" he predicted.
