Log of Ship Indicates That It May Have Been For mer Navy Craft-Last Entry Made Only Two Hours Before Debris Is Found.

Cuttyhunk. Mass, Dec. 1.- Wreckage washed ashore here yes terday, indicating that vessel had been damaged or lost, was still un- identified today. An address med ical officer, U. s. S. Camden" which appeared on case of navy medical supplies, was explained, as all ves- sels of that name were apparently accounted for, and the name did not appear on log book. or chart house which were included in the wreckage.
 From a description of the straw and grey color of the shattered chart house, navy and coast guard officials said it appeared 10 have been navy vessel, but suggestions were advanced that 1t might have been sold and converted into rum running or other purposes.
 Mysteries Unexplained.
 This theory. however, did not aC- count for entries in the water soaked log which referred to move ments at a navy yard" on Nov. %, and 10 the fact that the vessel was under way" on Nov. S0' Chcck-up at various navy yards along the coast failed to identify the vessel from these references, or from an entry on Oct. 10 saying that the vessel had left New Haven on that date.
 A case of navy medical stores, which bore mark of origin at the submarine base at New London, Conn, might have been bought as surplus war supplies, it was ex- plained.
 The Wrcckage included the broken chart house, q chart box, the log and the medicine chest. IL was in such condition as to indicate that it had been torn loose only few hours before, whether by collision, explosion or storm. The fiotsam came ashore on the northwest end of the island, close 10 the light house.
 Coast guards patrolled the beach in the vicinity today seeking fur ther pieces. and across the sound there was examination of the shores of Marthas Vineyard for any fur ther traces there of the wreck that was suggested by the debris.

S. Fletcher Of the Cuttyhunk coast guard and F.. H, Crowell. member of his crew who first found the wreckage They came here for supplies today but were able to throw little light upon the incident that has provided a marine mystery on the coast for 30 hours. The entry in the log book read
 New York-40 minutes later in the navy yard" According to the coast guardsmen this appeared to identify that station ss the navy yard" referred to frequently in other entries.
 Captain Fletcher was at a loss 10 account for the vessels movements as shown In the log. Entries in- licated she had left the navy yard at l2:5O ?. m" November g and at "9:44 p. m. anchored in nine fathoms" but neither the navy yard nor the anchorage are identified. The last entry, under way 5.39 a. m, November S0," was only two hours before the wreckage was washed ashore. The coast guard skipper said he could not explain how he and his lookouts could have failed to see or hear of collision, explosion or storm damage close enough to have wreckage come Tn with the tide in a period Of two hours op less from the time Of that entry.

 Tt required public servants of cool head and steady nerves and with a high resolve to do their sworn duty to ferret out the truth" he said. The excited populace was astir, suspicion was aroused, The voice of the slanderer was heard. IL has been of inestimable value to us that the civil authorities having the tragic case in hand are men who have made every possible effort faithfully 10 discharge the duties of their respective offices to the best of the knowledge and ability.
 They have worked untiringly that culprits, If any, might be brought 10 justice. and that the in nocent might be protected and their good name preserved"

 SIXTY EIGHTH CONGRESS 4 ASSEMBLIES BUTADJOURNS UNTIL TUES MORNING
REV. DR. HILL HITS AT SCANDAL MONGERS Calls Them Petty and Vile and Stories DamnabIe
 Sander

GossIps, scandal mongens and character assassine were fayed without mercy my Rev Dr, George W. c. Hill of the South Congrega- tional church last evening, when he denounced the class Of people who delight in telling choice tid bits of questionable news without minc- ing words, Mean, vile, petty. dirty. damnable," were some Of the epi- thets hurled from the pulpit by the clergyman.
 Dr. Hill took hle theme from Dick ins' story, "The Cricket on the Hearth" which vas shown on the moving picture screen. He took his text from the sixth chapter of Ne hemiah where Sanbalat sent his servant to the prophet Nehemiah, saying "Gashum told me, etc"
 The only thing told about Cash mu in the Bible, the only place in the Bible where his name IS men, toned, Is where 1t says he tried to do mean, dirty thing. He tried to spread scandal" the minister stat ed.
 That story might have been true of New Britain. It might have been true of any of the surrounding towns or of any neighborhood in the city. The story goes around. You ask who started 1t, but nobody knows. You never get to the end of it. These mean, petty dirty. vile little things that started here and there nobody ever starts them"
 Here the minister stated that re- gently he had occasion to trace a choice bit of gossip to its source. Tt had to do with the breaking down of the character of good woman and there was not word of truth in it," he said. He denounced the things which Put people in a false light before their fellow men" repeating such expressions as Haven't yor heard ?" What do you think?" "Isn'' It awful?" etc, and classifying then as Vile inuendoes. petty insinus tions and nasty intimations abou peoples character ad reputation"
 There are few of us but have some time or other been visited by this thing. Sometimes they succeed in destroying peoples happiness These mean, low-down, vile, miser- able cusses, these individuals with vile minds.
 If a man lives a clean and hon est life, sometimes he can go along without paying any attention to these things-but 1t may be tomor- row morning when someone will stop you and say You're just the person I'm waiting 10 sec and then they whisper 10 you sopet1ing you just can't wait to tell someone else"
 The word picture drawn by the minister of a meeting of two gush- 1 ing gossip spouters on the street was so real and so dramatic that il brought laugh from the congrega- ton of almost 1000 people who were there. Its nothing to laugh at,' he said, Tit Is a serious thing to de stroy someone's happiness" He ad. vised people who hear these stories 10 ask themselves the following questions before retelling them; Is it true?"
