The old harbor will be further
searched for treasure ships which are
known to have gone down during the
Punic wars. In this work the airplane
will play an important part.

Menace of VesuUius

A queer life they must have lived

whose rough masonry and stained

when Germany was savage forest,
Britain moist land distant from civ

America had never felt the tread of a
shod foot. In the sunny courtyard
the master dreams away the hot hours
to the splash of the tiny fountain,
listening to the sleepy gable of his
slaves from the rooms round the
atrium. The rattle of the two-horsed
chariots over the lava blocks of the
street, the oaths of a driver who fails
to negotiate the huge stones placed
like massive policemen to regulate the
traffic at the entrances to the cross
roads, disturb his slumber, and he re-
members the gladiators, "heroes of
ten fights" when the aedile Pansa is

column of pearl-white smoke, bellying
out into fantastic shapes and floating
majestically away on the light wind,

snorts fire and smoke innocuously

ponies go fearlessly up to gaze into

RESCUED FROM JAWS
OF GIANT CROCODILE
Incident English Officer Is
Not Likely to Forget.

Inc following interesting account Of
q thrilling fight with powerful croco-
ole In an Indian river is told by Lieu
tenant Colonel Carserly, in the Mon
treal Family Herald:
one afternoon the column halted by
the river as usual and prepared to
camp. When the men had cleared
the ground and set the pickets they
Tell out to get their food and rest.
a captain, unSlinging his empty water
Dottle, went to the river to fill it.
AT that spot the bank was perhaps
four feet high and rose straight up. It
curved In sharp bend, and the wa
ter close in ashore was shallow. There
was no current near the bank, but
only few yards out the deep and
mighty stream swept along like mill
race.
The officer knelt on the bank and,
lowering the bottle by its long strap,
turned his head to speak to a sub
hadar (native company cemmander)
near him. Half dozen sepoys, some
holding their rifles, were standing
close by.
Suddenly out of the still water I'M
der the bank came a monstrous head,
and like trout rising to a fly a huge
crocodile snapped at the white mans
outstretched hand. The great jaws
closed on it, and in twinkling the
officer was down in~the river!
AS he fell the astonished soldiers
gasped in horror. Then without hest
ltation two or three leaped in after
him. Standing waist deep, they chung
to the captains body and strove to
pull him away from the giant reptile,
which was backing out into deeper
water.
The Englishman, with his hand in
the crocodile's mouth, was too dazed
to struggle, and submitted passively
to be pulled this way and that In the
grim tug Of war. The native officer
Snatched a rife from the man beside
him and jumping into the water fired
at the monster at yards range. A
sepOy followed his example, but nei-
ther man thought of aiming at the
eyes, and so their shots had no ef-
feet; an old crocodile's hide is I'M
penetrable to bullets except in the
throat, the belly and behind Shout
derS.
The weight and strength of the
brute was too much FOR the united eff
forts of the men. In vain they dug
their heels into the yielding sand and
pulled with all their might and main.
Slowly, remorselessly, the officer was
drawn farther out; the sepoys cling
ing to him were dragged with him.
The Englishman seemed doomed.
The crocodile was swimming now tail
foremost out into the swift, racing
flood.
Then miracle happened! When
1t seemed that nothing could save the
man the strong current caught, the
monster with full force and swept it
away, and by a marvellous stroke of
luck the officers hand was torn from
It's mouth.
The irregular teeth Of a crocodile
fortunately do not fit close together.
SO little Injured was the captain that
after the doctor had bound up his
hand he was able TO attend to his
duties Immediately.
