Threading its way through the reefs
the boat was rowed up the river as far
as it could float, but the water all
around was found tn be quite salt, and
useless for drinking purposes. Just as
the boat was about to return to the
ship, some Indians were espied on the
bank and the officer in charge of the
boat made friendlv signs to them and
eventually opened up communion,
pointing to the empty casks in the boat
he conveyed the need to fill them up
with good water, the Indians readily
comprehended and good naturedly agreed
to fill them
The tribe turned out with their earth
enWare pots and marched over to the
spring that was situated between the
estates now known as COncOrdia and
Glynn. That the efforts Of the Indians
with their small earthenWare pots, to
water the ships, would be lengthy, soon
became evident to the officer in charge,
so having filled a couple of casks, the
other empty ones were placed ashore,
the Indians being instructed to sill
them. The boat then returned to the
ship to report the situation to the
Admiral. 1t was decided to send ashore
a large empty cask now known as a
~punchaon, and the Indians under the
excitement OF a present Of a few colour
ed beads, be encouraged to continue the
task of watering throughout the night,
by filling up the puncheon. This was
satisfactorily accomplished, and the next
day in part payment of the labours Of
the tribe, the puncheon was left behind
as an honoured gift. This was subse-
q|uently put to very valuable use, a dry
spell being experienced, with dense
clouds of dust, speedily brought with it
? mysterious sickness affecting the eyes
and throat, especially attacking the
younger members of the tribe.
At a solemn meeting of the medicine,
me- Of all the tribes, held at the full of
the neon. at the spring now known as
Lebanon Hill Garden, called for the pur-
pose of stamping out the plague, it was
wisely decided to mount the old sacred
puncheon on runners, somewhat after
the fashion of a sled, bore a hole in the
puncheon, and attach a trough thereto, by
splitting a piece of bamboo, and by Dor
ing holes in the trough, allowing the wa
ter to sprinkle over the dusty roads
around the village. thus the dnst nui-
sance would be abated, until the long ev-
pected rains fell. The later sprinkler
as It's known here today, was thus evolv-
ed. This clumsy arrangement was care
fully preserved and used at certain peri
DDS yearly, until t lie Danes settled on

EDITORIAL T

esteemed toWnsman Mr.. E. Grigg who
possesses many years of experience Of
conditions in this island and during his
former residence here was the author OF
valuable contributions to these columns.
In a communication which appeared IN
the Avis some days ago, Mr.. Grlgg dl-
rected attention to the eXigent need OF
a public water supply a question which
year after year has engaged the most
serious consideration Of those who suffer
through the lack of means to overcome our
primitive condition in this repecf, but
Whica was received no legislative at
tention to our knowledge. Today he is
pointing out that a proper water-cart is
necessary to combat the dust during
the now more frequent dry seasons.
These are really matters OF high I'M
portance to this town. and should arouse
more general interest than appears to
have been given hitherto. We are glad to
accept and publish correspondence which
has for its object constructive crlti-
cism of local affairs and feel conf
dent that the same could not but be
approved by ali concerned. While it is
a fact that considerable money is budget
ted every year, and improvements are not
infrequently proposed on a larger or
smaller scale, we fear that Chrlstlansted
and its needs are not fully considered.
1t is often declared that constructive
criticism is to be encouraged, and even de-
sire to aid our legislative in passing
on various matters on which it is not
always practicable to obtain trained
advice; it is, therefore, to be hoped hat
the present will prove of value, aud in
strumentaI in effecting a remedy which
should rebound to popular advantage.

BY SHARLES e. HUGHES,
International News Service Staff
Correspondent.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16.-Many are
the trials and tribulations of prohibi-
tion as enforced in Southern Califor-
mia.
But the residents of fashionable
Los Angeles district that was recently
'raided' by federal authorities believe
they have new brand of prohibition
grievance.
When the officers charged upon the
foes of Amendment Is, occupants of a
beautiful home, they obtained several
hundred gallons of moonshine whis-
key with kick like government
mule several hundreds of an ambro-
sial compound known as mash, a huge
still and odds and ends of other things
that give the boot to bootlegger.
Either in an effort to get rid of the
or through accident, some
of the mash was poured from the win
dows of the house of guilt, ran into
the yard and penetrated even unto the
sacred precinct of the neighborhood
