Motley Crew Made Up Of
as Many Different Nation
alities as There Are
Members-Bol Sail
Into Cobra River From
Which No Exploration
Party Has Returned.
By LEE OVERMliN.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light
San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 49,
Eighteen gentlemen" sailors, who
early last spring sailed out of the
Golden Gate for the South seas
aboard the old clipper ship, MAR
whal,' are in a fair way toward real
izing. the thing which they set out to
seek, namely. adventure of the hair
raising variety with possible death
thrown in.
The "Narwhal" and her motley
crew made up of as many different ma
tionalities as there are members, to-
day is somewhere in Borneo up the
Cobra river.
Sea-faring men who have ventured
into the South seas declare the river
as as deadly as its name.
Never before has it been success
fully explored by white men.
Several parties of adventures in the
past twenty years have sought to
solve its secrets and bring back to
the outside world the story of the
country and the people in the jungle
fastness which it penetrates.
+ None Of the exploring parties have
ever returned.
Neither have they ever been heard
frori again. @
According to a letter received here
the "Narwhal" started its adventure
cruise IN the Cobra more than a
month ago.
The river is navigable for large YES
sells for hundreds Of miles into the
interior depths of Borneo.
At the last South sea port where
the "Narwhaln stopped to take on
fresh supplies. it was announced that
all of her crew would attempt the haz-
ardous tri2.
Plans are for the Narwhal TO pro-
coed up the river as far as it proves
navigable for her and then for the
crew to take to small boats and ex-
plore the Corba clear to its source.
Men Carry Arms.
Should the party emerge safe and
sound, unlike all others that have ven-
tured up the Cobra, the world prom
their iourneyings.

Hunters aboard the "Narwhal "'also
will seek TO bring back specimens of
rhinoccros. elephants. orang outangs
and several species of deadly snakes.
The cruise of the "Narwhal" is one
of the most picturesque in modern sea-
faring history.

tlemen" sailors are former Russian
nobleman. two titled Englishmen and
an Arctic explorer. two Frerchmen
who have hunted big game in Africa.

A Little Talk ON Thrift
By S. w. STRAUS. President of the American Society
for Thrift

In a broad and general way, moral
Isoundness. as well as economic stab
ility. is the inevitable accompaniment
OF thrift practice.
Thrift is a character topic. II
develops the will and strengthens
the moral fibre. Through II one IS
able TO forego those habits of life
that are harmful.
Thrift eauips us for the tempta-
tIons as well as for the vicissitudes
of life.
No man can practice thrift with
out being better citizen as well
as a more Independent one.
II is these aspects of thrift which
should appeal strongly to parents
and to those who are engaged in
educational duties. Let us send
forth our young men and our young

er fail entirely; they may not at
tain the heights. but they never
will reach the depths.
No one. at the beginning OF life,
ever expects to fail. The lamp OF
hope burns brightly In youth. But
hope alone cannot bring success.
There must be concrete action along
right lines. Steadily, step by step,
the desired ends are attained. Where
there Is persistent effort with free
dom from wrongful mthods 70 con-
duct and living. there can be no such
thing as ultimate failure.
And is is because the practices of
thrift keep one constantly within the
bounds OF prudent living. that this
plan OF life is the best safeguard
against failure.
