Great Seal Of Confederacy
Believed to Be in England

LOUISVILLE, KY, April q. -
Henry Watterson, former editor of
the Louisville Courier Journal, TO-
DAY revealed a bit of history in con
necton with stories of the disappear
ance of the Great Seal of the Con
federacy, about which much has
been written recently, and gave it as
his belief that the original seal is
somewhere in Europe, probably in
England.
Mr. WattersOn has one of the six
original copies of the Great Seal.
when Judah P BENJAMIN left this
country forever to locate in London
he entrusted the Great Seal to his
secretary, a man named Brommell, =
Col. Watterson explained. "a year
or two after the war Brommell be-
came my fathers law clerk in Wash,
ington City. My father had the
Copes made and Brommell retained
the seal Some time later Brom-
nell went to London to join Mr.
Benjamin, who took care of him
until he died, some time in the
seventies.
HE took the seal to England with
him. | have no doubt it was in his
effects and that it now reposes
somewhere over on the other side
A seal widely accepted by author-
ties as the original, is in the Con
Gederate museum at Richmond. Va.

EXPLORERS SHIP
TO BE ice PROOF
Hull So Designed That Vessel
Will Be Lifted Out of Water
By Pressure of Floes.

EAST BOOTH BAY, Me-, April 81.
Work is being rushed here on the
schooner Bowdoin, built to carry Don
aid B, Macmillan, explorer, on his
next Arctic voyage. The vessel was
launched last week and it is planned
to have her completed in time to
start north the first week in July
The ships hull is egg shaped with
nothing to which ice can cling Under
sufficient pressure from the foes,
instead Of being crushed she should
lit out of the water and be carried
when the pressure is relieved.
Macmillan plans to pass through
the dangerous Hecla Straits on the
west side of Baffin Bay and to ex-
plore a stretch of 1000 miles of
the Baffin west shore on which it is
believed no white man has ever set
foot
Eighty Feet Long.
The Bowdoin is eighty feet, ten
inches in length 10 feet, seven
inches beam, and nine feet six inches
draft, with total displacement OF
i15 tons She is of the knockabout
auxiliary schooner type equipped
with a As horsepower crude oil
burning engine, an installation which
Macmillan hopes will insure him a
cruising radius virtually unlimited by
the use of whale oil to supplement
the regular fuel supply.
The schooner will have a generous
spread Of canvas to enable her to
sail home when clear of ice, shouid
tho fuel supply give out.
The staunchness of sthe hull is as
sUred by a heavy frame nlankcd with
thrce-inch white oak to which has
been added at the water line a five
foot belt of greenheart of ironwood
This armor is said to withstand the
grinding of ice better than steel or
any other material as the ice merely
polishes its hard surface.
Snow Houses Planned.
When winter sets in three-foot
covering of snow and ice will be
placed over the entire ship with
now houses after the Eskimo type
to cover the hatchways.
The expedition is planned to cover
two years. 1t viii go under the
auspices of the Mac MILAN Arctic
Association. LARGELY composed of
alumni of Bowdoin College rom
which Macmillan was graduate. The
ship has cost $4,000 and her equip
ment will add $4,000 to this
amount.
The party will consist besides DR..
Macmillan, of an engineer, three
scientists and a cook. all of which
will be carefully selected.
