The Loss OF The Schooner
FLORENCE L. Stream"

A telegram was received a few days
ago by Mr.. S. Boyce, of Trafalgar Square,
stating that his schooner FLORENCE b.
Stream was totally wrecked in Marigot
Bay, St. Martins with a cargo Of sheep
manure. Marigot Bay is situated to the
northwest of the island of St. Martins.
1t has excellent anchorage and IS pro-
tected from all winds except those from
the south-wes The wind, however,
seldom blows from that quarter; but the
Bay is exposed to the Rollers which will
sometimes break on its southwest side
about half a mile from the shore and
send in a heavy, dangerous surf on the
beach. 1t is evident, therefore, that
there was bad weather in Marigot Bay

Ford Proposes Scrapping All But 10

By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May 14.-Henry Ford
will purchase the 400 vessels of the
United States Shipping Board if the
Government will fix what he consid-
ers a fair price, according to a story
which appeared in the Detroit Free
Press this morning The announce
ment was made yesterday afternoon
by Mr.. Ford, following a conference
with T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the
Shipping Board.
O'Connor is quoted as asking Ford
to take over 200 ships In his original
suggestion, the article said. How
ever, when Ford informed him that
he would only buy the ships to scrap
them for junk, OConnor suggested
that he buy all 400, as 1t would not
cost much more to construct disman-
ting apparatus to handle the 400
ships than 1t would the lesser num-
Der.
Ford agreed to this, saying that he
might retain from 10 to 80 of the
ships for use by Ford industries. II
any ships were put in operation by
Ford they would be reconditioned and
equipped as oil burners, the article
states.
1.-The ships were built during the
war when everybody was crazy" Ford
was quoted at saying. Most of the
boats were thrown together in a great
hurry. They were for an emergency,
and consequently many of them were

SIR RIDER HAGGARD,
NOTED AUTHOR, DIES
Writer of Many Popular
Novels Succumbs in
London Hospital.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 14.-Sir H. Rider
Haggard, author, died here today. He
had been i'll four months and recently,
when his condition became serious, he
was taken to private hospital in
London. where he died.
Although he achieved world
reputation as a maker of fiction, it
was known to but few that the real
work of Rider HagGard was in the
field of practical agriculture. in which
he gained the highest reputation
among experts.
A practical farmer himself, Haggard
was especially interested in intensive
agriculture in England along Dutch
lines. Many of his books were de-
voted to farming, although they are
known only to agriculturistS, who con-
sidered them of great importance to
the industry in England.
Rider Haggard was born at Braden-
ham. Norfolk, June %. 1856. He en-
gagged in government service in South
Africa and while young man became
celebrated as a writer of romances
and tales of adventure with African
backgrounds. From 1882 to 1924
scarcely a year passed without the
publication of novel by him.
For years Rider Haggard was one
of the most widely read of popular
noveiists, the acme of his popular
achievement being reached in his
novel of the late sos. King Solo
mons Mines" and She" The scene
of these. as of his other most success
full works, were laid in South Africa,
where he went in 1875 as secretary
to the governor of Natal. He served
later in the Transvaal and was one
of the officials who hoisted the British
flag over that territory on Queen Vic
torias birthday in 1877.
after the Boer victory at Majuba
Hill the convention with the Beers
was signed in his home, and he short
" afterward abandoned South Africa,
returning to England. where he bagan
his career as a novelist while study
ing for the bar, publishing his first
success, Dawn" in 1884.
The novelist was knighted in 1912.
In 1905 he visited the United States
on an official mission to report on the
Salvation Army colonies, spending
some time in the Mountains States.
He married Miss Mariana MarSitson,
a Norfolk heiress, in 1879.

SAN PEDRO, Calf, May 14.-Rum
runners. hi-jackers and law enforce
ment officers were waging a triangu-

harbor.
Police and Federal prohibition agents
admitted they had little success stem
ming the flow of Illicit liquor from a
rum fleet of five vessels lying off the
coast between here and San Diego,
but declared they had evidence to show
that hi-jackers were making it hot for
the rum smugglers.
Reports were under investigation of
a shooting ARRAY which took place
last midnight on the road between
White Point and Point Firmin, over
looking the harbor. A large truck, fol-
lowed closely by a touring car, was
attacked by another touring car, resi-
dents of the outlying district told po-
lice, and volleys of pistol shots were
exchanged.
Between $4,000 and S20,0 worth
of whisky is being landed in or near
the harbor daily, officers estimated,
adding frankly that the importing of
liquor will continue so long as they are
handicapped by lack of small. fast
boats with which to patrol the port.
Approximately half hund ed police
and Federal men are waite ing the
scores of likely landing places within
the harbor district. So far the liquor
runners have not been pressed to land
their cargoes in isolated coves far from
the city, it being a comparatively SIM
pie matter to put the rum ashore once
they have run the gauntlet of the

Guard cutters attempting to blockade
