Strange Force
Blamed By Mariner
For Pacific Wrecks

Los Angeles, Oct. 16-(By A. P.)-
Neither tidal wave nor currents of
seismic origin, but some other
strange force was responsible for the
recent wreck of seven United States
destroyers and the crash a few days
later of the super dreadnaught Texas
and the freighter Steel Seafarer In
the waters off Point Arguello, north
of Santa Barbara, Calf, according
to Captain Alfred Davis, q mariner
of the old school who sailed his clip
per ship around the Horn a decade
ago.
The west entrance to Santa Bar
bara channel, between Point Con-
cepcion and San Miguel islands, al
ways has been in i'll repute among
seafaring men, said Captain Davis.
Its nickname, 1.-The graveyard Of
ships" was earned about the time Of
Cabrillo. who there lost his life and
was buried on one of the channel is
lands, according to stories which
have become legends. 1t is said at
no other point on the Pacific have so
many ships met disaster. and always
the cause remained a mystery.
Captain Davis said that he recalled
many wrecks along the coast near
Point Arguello dating back to the
time of the mystery disaster of the
Golden Horn. Always, said the old
sea captain, those who escaped alive
from the wrecks, when any escaped,
have had the same story to tell, of
suddenly becoming enveloped in
fog and then, without warning,
crashing on rocks. Invariably, he
said. the navigators had thought
themselves in mid-channcL their in

found in the heart of an Oregon fof-

Pacific railroad. according to the
companys officials. THE work of art
was found by a surveying crew
about four miles west Of Crater
Lake, Oregon.
The figure is pitted and weather
beaten and shows the mark of time
and exposure. Art students declare
that if carved by an artist, it would
have required from four to five
months of constant work.
The figure is an integral part of a
huge rock, and the woman is sitting
at the base of the rock with her head
