Makes First One-Man
Voyage Across Atlantic
Frenchman Battles Storms, Hunger,
Thirst and Illness in l42 Day Trip
from Gibraltar to New York

old Frenchman sailed into New
York Harbor this week in
thirty-foot sail boat-the fir
man ever to cross the Atlantic
alone in such a small win
driven craft.
For LAP days battling storm
hunger, thirst and illness Ger
bault kept a spark of conf
dence burning. He sailed from
Gibralter April 5 and arrived
in New York September II.
With the cup of victory still at
his lips, he paused to say,
and now to cross the
Pacific"
Alain j. Gerbault is a soldier of
fortune. When two friends at Paris
doubted his assertion that the At
lantfs could be sailed by one man
in 30-foot boat, he decided to
show them.
Gerbault is the fifth ranking ten
mis- player of France and has con-
tested in international matches.
During the war, as French aviator,
he is credited with bringing down
ten German planes. Only Alain and
brother remain of the Gerbault
family. They own lime factory at
Laval, France. The brother is the
business man.
"Just call me sailor" said Ger
bault here this morning. "The sea
is my home-and I'll soon be head
ing out across the Pacific. Hazard
Gus? l don't think so. You always
pull through somehow, if you handle
your boat like a sailor should"
Veteran marines declare Ger
bault's feat one of the most daring
and unique in the annals of the sea.
Nintey-seven days he was out of
sight of land, tossed about on noun
famous waves in boat whose deck
dipped water when four men crowd
ed into her after he docked here Mon
day.

BATTLED GREAT STORM

Forty-elght hours he lay SpraWled
in the bunk of his tiny cabin, un-
conscious from fever which struck
him down during a gale which bat
tered the little craft, sweeping her
deck clean of rigging and flooding
the dozen or so feet of cabin space.
Twenty-four days he battted the
fury of the Atlantic which broke his
bowsprit, loosened his mast and rip
ped his sails-a storm which reached
cyclonic heights and was reported
some weeks ago at the time by in
coming transatlantic liners.
Provisions he'd stocked for 100

New York because of delay by ter
rifle gales while beating his way
across the southern portion of the
Atlantic. Two-thirds of his water
spoiled and was cast overheard,
poisoned by the wood in the newly
made kegs.
Two weeks ago, when crazed by
thirst and lack of food he was hailed
by a great ocean liner bound for
New York, which wanted to pick
him up-or at least tow him in. He
thanked the captain, but refused
Victory was in sight. He was given
provisions and left to his fate.

Work in Schools Is ''Stdrued''

AInericanization work in the District

Justice Walter I. Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court declared yesterday in a
statement.
What are we TO do about the mat
ter?" he asks. What will Congress do?
The appropria tion for each of the five
years last past has been for the same
amount. From private sources $1,000
was contributed last year. Had this
amount not been forthcoming some Of
the classes would have been discon-
tinued for lack of funds.
"Why is it that we talk so much
about the necessity of educating the
language and TO understand the genius
of our institutions and then do so little
to prove that we mean what we say
If We do mean it?
Schooling Shows Results.
Are we so certain that propaganda
from Russia, spread by foreigners and by
our own traitors, will not yield its crop
Of murder, arson, rape and countless
other evils, to the utter destruction OF
all that we hold dear?
