COSMO IS NEW HERO
OF MULBERRY BEND
Boy of 13 Is First Italian to
Win Commerce Chambers
Prize for an Essay.

Cosmo C. Serignano, who is IS and
lives with his parents and a younger
brother in three room fiat two flights
up at 55 Bayard street. went home last
night from his second day at Stuyve-
SAINT High School to find that he was
the hero of Mulberry Bend.
And why was he the hero? Ask his
father, the proud Generoso Serignano,
produce merchant, his wife. Josie. or
Generoso, Jr. Any Of them will tell
you that it was because Cosmo was the
author Of the prize winning essay en-
titled "The Essential Qualities of Men
Who Make Good" Cosmc will go on
Thursday. February O. to the rooms OF
the Chamber of Commerce. at 65 Liberty
street, to receive the prize, which con-
sists of diploma and gold piece of 4
value as vet untold. But even II 1t IL
only $50 there will still be glory enough
for the Serignano household and the
other Italians Of Mulberry Bend. whose
prestige Cosmo has upheld.
For eight years the Chamber of Com
merce has offered prizes for essays
written In the elementary schools. The
pupils Of Public School 90, the most
cosmopolitan Of all the public schools
in the city, have always taken part.
Sometimes q Pole a Chinese. a Jew or
some of the other twenty races
represented in that school would win the
district prize. But an Italian boy never
did. Not until Cosmo Serignano took a
hand. And Cosmo not only won the
district prize but his essay was ad-
judged the best In all Of the Borough
of Manhattan.
Cosmo wrote the essay last May, and
had nearly forgotten about it when he
was told last night that he was the win
ner. All he remembered about the essay
which must remain unpublished until
February 9-is that he mentioned An
drew Carnegie as the man who possessed
the important qualities which make for
success.

ROWS FORTY MILES
DODGING ICE CAKES
Reporter Missing Two Days
Returns as Shore Is Being
Dragged for Him.

John Rogan, reporter in the Brook
lyn bureau Of the New York American,
rowed into the mooring grounds of the
Sheepshead Bay Rowing Club at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon. after he had
been reported by the Rockaway police
as missing since Sunday about noon.
AS Rogan returned safely to the point
from which he started on Sunday to
row to Rockaway Point. his brother
George and half n dozen patrolmen Of
the marine division were off Rockaway
graphing for his body. under the belief
that he had been drowned.
Rogan had rowed alone in an open
rowboat about forty miles. most Of H.
among Ice cakes that threatened to
crush his small craft. His hands were
tern and stained from long handling Of
the oars, and his ears, toes and knees
were badly frostbittcn. He probably
will not be able to work for several
days, but will be under the care of a
physician at his home in 81 Stratford
road. Brooklyn.
Rogan said he left the Sheepshead
Bay Rowing Club about noon to row
over to Rockaway Point to keep din
ner engagement with Max Kennedy,
owner of the Breezy Point Hotel The
ice prevented him landing at Kennedy's
dock when he got there. and the cakes
wedged his boat in so that he could not
move 1t, but drifted with current NOV
Ing at about four knots. He finally
got on the Rockaway Shoals, where his
boat was almost swamped by heavy
seas. lie baled the water out with a
detachable rudder and managed to keep
afloat until the seas broke up the Ice
cakes and made 1t possible for him to
use the oars.
The wind and the current sent the
boat toward the open sea, and finally
Rogan saw the Ambrose Channel Light
ship. He tried to head for 1t, and made
a landing at Roamer Point Shoals,
about three miles from Sandy Hook,
after baling out his boat four times.
The keepers of the lighthouse there
gave him food. and he remained at the
lighthouse over Sunday night. starting
back to Sheepshead Bay Monday after
noon. He left the lighthouse soon after
o'clock and reached the West Bank
Lighthouse at o'clock, having rowed
the entire distance against the tide.
William II. Shackleton, Jr., In charge
of the lighthouse, took care OF Rogan
Monday night and accompanied him
when he started to row back to Sleeps
head Bay in the morning. But even
with both men pulling at the oars they
had a hard time getting 10 the row.
