40-Foot Sloop
Elizabeth Burns

Stockton Springs, Me-, April G.
Luther Holmes, late skipper and
crew of the 40-foot power sloop Eliz-
abetll, .ched home Saturday night
after decidedly lurid experience, Of
which no word had transpired until
he arrived to spin the yarn. Early
Tuesday morning, around two
o'clock, while off Capr Roster he had
engine trouble. With q lantern he
went into the cabin in quest of tools
when a gasoline leak caused an ex-
plosion in the confined space. With
a convenient eXtirfguisher he vainly
fought the flames until pretty well
scorched and was forced to take to
the small skiff in tow, in which he
stood by the flaming craft until it
drifted across to Hewes point where
it sank in eight feet OF water. The
boat was owned by Eastport parties
and was insured at Rockland, whith-
Ell the skipper made his way and no.
tilted the underwriters who sent a
derrick scow to secure the corpus
deficit. Upon raising the wreck
there was nothing to salvage but the
engines. Capt. Holmes was taking
twine and other supplies to the
Underwood plant at Mckinley. which
were a total loss without insurance

building was a two-room frame
structure and no insurance was car

yet been made for the scholars.
A number of children sranging in
age from eight to IL had arrived at
the building and Viola, age IL had
built the fire when smoke was seen
coming from crevices in the Chin

was well ablaze before the children
could notify the people in the town.
The teacher, Mrs. Harry pobbins, ar

Monument of a
Prehistoric Race
Near Muscle Shoals

Florence, Ala. April 5-Within
sight Of Wilson Dam, unit OF the
governments war project at Muscle
Shoals, stands a monument none
the less marvellous in its construction
which marks the glory of the rule of
Il lost race. according to ethnologistS
who lately visited the district.
Prehistoric mound builders or
aborigincs erected a mound here
that has deficd the decay OF ages.
Protected by law, the secrets Of the
huge pile of earth and stone have
been denied the curious as well as the
scientific explorer.
The mound stands so feet high and
1t is situated on the north banks of
the Tennessee river just outside the
city of Florence. Small trees and
dense shrubbery cover the whole.
The mound has proved Of almost as
much interest as the government
project to the thousands who have
visited the district, town authorities
declare.
Muscle Shoals was favorite haunt
vi inc I>eu 4hdii' iocdi Hiotoiy Sio"S'
1t is believed here that the mound
was originally constructed by the lost
race of mound builders but was used
by the Indians as a mausoleum where
the bodies of many great chieftains
now repose. The story appears to be
authenticated that the chief of the
last great tribe to inhabit the district
was buried there by request so that
he might continually hear the splash
of the waters as they roll over Mus
Gle Shoals"
