Pocomoke City, the metropolis of
the county, is situated on the POGO
moke river. This city gives an unusu-
ally good impression to travellers. 1t
has an up-to-d;.tc newspaper that
keeps abreast with the times and
growth of the city, the Worcester
Democrat. After the fire of 1921, the
business men took steps to rebuild the
city on a modern basis. The result is

two beautiful banking structures, and
ether department stores and shops
that would be u credit to the people
of city of a hundred thousand or

Fishing and sailing parties find the
facilities at Ocean City, very satsfac-
tory and with u fine beach and surf
bathing, it is altogether most de-
!jghtful p ace to spend the summer.
Public Landing about miles from
Snow Hill, via the new concrete road
n progress of construction is also 4
famous resort in this section. For
many generations it has been the
meeting place OF Eastern Shoremen
and their families Located on the
SinepuXent Bay, it is particularly at
tractive as a family resort and picnic
grounds.
The Bay at that point is perfect
and gently slopes away from the
shore line. Children can enjoy the
bathing without any danger whatever
due to the shallow water. Parents
find this resort to be the ideal place
for outings, on this account. Tenting
and tourist parties find Public Land
ing all that may be desired in re-
sort of this kind.
City folk who wish to get into the
country either for summer home or
. permanent residence, would do well
to investigate the possibilities of the
land adjacent to Public Landing, as it
is particularly suited to homes and
small truck and fruit farms. The soil
Is fine and just right for fruit and
truck.
Henry's Grove near Berlin is also a
favorite place for outings. Church
pcnics, bathing and fishing parties
find this a delightful spot. Situated
IN a grove Of oak and other native
trees, this location provides every
thing that can be desired for an out
ing. Visitors may indulge in bathing
fishing, grabbing, cunning or other
sports. South Point is also a place
much visited in the summer season, as
we'll as many other farms in the
county, whore fine water fronts may
be found.
Only a short ride from Pocomoke
City is George Island Landing, pop
ular resort for those fond of fishing
and ducking. 1t is also productive Of
some of the finest oysters in the coun
try, and the oyster roast constitutes
frequent social function.
Just little to the north of George
Island Landing is Pope's Island and
to the south Purnell's Point where
excellent surf bathing can be indulged
in.
1t should also be mentioned that
Pocomoke City is in easy access to
that famous island, Chincoteague, ap-
preached now by an automobile high
way, where formerly it had to be
sought by water passage. This island
is worldfamed for its pony raising,
its oysters, fish, CLANS, ducks and af-
fords veritable paradise for the
hunter.
1t can be reached from Pocomoke
City in less than an hour by auto.

where the Stag Horn mountain
rises to a height of $500 feet.
shortly after the gale hit us we
heard the screams of men almost
alongside the Peary. Our entire
personnel rushed on deck, and the
sight that greeted our eyes was the
small power boat of the Island
Taulk full of Danish naval sailors,
towing a small dory loaded with
another group Of sailors struggling
helplessly against a terrific sea.
The wind and seas crashed them
against the side of the Peary. One
Danish sailor, Lauritz Christensen,
had forethought enough to throw
the heavy tow line off the power
boat, which we made fast as 1t
swamped and Immediately sank.
The dory swamped Immediately
afterward.
THE Danes seemed to a man to
realize that they one by one must
be taken aboard up the line. There
was no fighting, no man trying to
push ahead Of the other. One by
one we hauled them aboard, recov.
ering every man of the two boats
1.-The last man to be hauled
aboard was Einar Hansen, who per-
mitted three men who were behind
him to be hauled aboard first

S-51 PROBE MOVED
TOU.S. NAVAL BASE
Submarine Officers Quizzed.
City of Rome's Captain
Criticized for Course.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW LONDON, Conn, October IA.
Investigation into the sinking of the
submarine S-51. which has been in
progress in Boston, was transferred
here yesterday, when members OF the
United States steamboat inspector $
office questioned a number of wit
nesses. The S-51 sank off Block Island
on the night of September 25 after a
collision with the steamer City or
Rome of the Savannah Line.
The inquiry yesterday was conduct.
ed by Herman l.. Parker, inspector
OF hulls. and John Stewart. inspector
of boilers, both of Boston.
Lieut. Condr. j. \. Brownel Of the
submarine division of which the S-5l
was aiu4, ned said there was no queS-
tiun that the submarine was being
operated from the bridge and not from
the coming tower, il being necessary
only to navigate the vessel from the
coming tower in very rough weather.
Raps City of Rome.
Lieut.. p. l.. Mather, duty commu-
nicaticn officer at the submarine base
here on the night OF the disaster,
testified that he was unable to eStab-
Iish communication with the City of
Rome and that much valuable time
was lost in the attempt. In his opin-
ion the City OF Rome should have
remained at the scene of the accident
until daylight.
Dewey G.. Kile, one of the three
men picked up by the City of Rome
lifeboat after the collision. again told
the story of his experience after tbs
two boats collided. He was awak
ened, he said. when u piece of cork
struck him in the face. The water,
he said, quickly rose in the compart-
ment TO his knees. 1t was coming in
from the floor, showing that the sub
marine had been damaged below the
water line. he said. The hatch in
the coming tower was the only one
open and reached the deck through
this. Within 10 seconds he was hurl-
ed into the sea.
In Water As Minutes.
The only person he saw in the
water, he testified. was a torpedo
man. Frank c. Wiscman of South

Legend of a Brazen Head.
From the Detroit News.

FROM the Detroit News.
Roger Bacon spent seven years con-
structing a brazen head which he
fancied would tell him how to sur
round the Island Of Great Britain with
a wall Of brass, according to a legend
prevalent in the Middle Ages. This
head was to speak within a month
after its completion, but no special
hour was set for its so doing. Bacon
accordingly. set his servant to watch
especially enjoining him to notify his
master in case the head should speak.
At the end Of the first half hour
the servant heard the head exclaim:
Time is" at the end of the second
half hour, Time was" and at the end
of the third half hour, Times past;
whereupon 1t fell with a loud crash
and was shattered to pieces. The
servant neglected to call Bacon. think
ing he would not care to be disturbed
for such a trifie, and thus the knoWl-
edge necessary to build the braZen
wall was never acquired.
