Audacious Robert Stobo

II OUDINl was famous for his
- ability to escape from almost
anywhere; Sergeant York was noted
for his ability to capture enemies by
the wholesale; but in pre-Revolu-
tionary days, Maj. Robert Stobo was
famous for both.
The French from Canada were
constantly arresting Stobo for sup
plying Washington with confidential
information about their plans. But
regardless of where he was i'm
prisoned he always managed to es-
cape.
After breaking out of a cell in
Quebec, he padded up the St. Law
renee river with three companions.
Camping one day on the bank, he
noticed a small boat leave a French
ship and make toward them.
He could easily have retreated
into the woods until they gave up
the search. Instead he and his
companions surprised the party
when it landed and captured the
group that had been sent out to cap
ture himl
Then, after waiting for darkness,
he had the further audacity to order
them all into the boat and with
guns at their backs, row back to
their ship as if he and his party
were captives. They were all aboard
the vessel before the crew realized
that it was Stobo's party, not theirs.
that held the guns. Once aboard,
he had the upper hand and forced
the entire crew Of 10 to surrender.
But this was only good begin
ming. In command of the ship. he
set sail and pulled alongside an
other French vessel mile down
the river. Without warning, he fired
a broadside against the unsuspect-
ing vessel and forced its surrender
too. Then he set fire to it.
Proudly he set sail up the St.
Lawrence and returned triumphant
ly to Colonial territory, having per-
formed one of the most adventurous
feats of his time.

Prince of Trinidad

"TAMES l, PRINCE OF TRIM.
- DAD" is an impressive title.
The holder of it was an American
who married the daughter of a Stand
ard Oil company magnate. He pre-
scented her with the entire kingdom
of Trinidad which they ruled togeth-
er with a firm hand.
Trinidad was easy to rule. Of
course, because Mr.. and Mrs.
James Harden-Hickey, the Ameri-
can names Of the rulers, were the
only human inhabitants. Their sub
jects were the land crabs, sea fowl
and snakes with which the place
was infested.
Trinidad is an island 700 miles
east of Brazil in the South Atlantic.
Discovered by the Portuguese and
visited by the British. no power had
exercised active possession of it at
the time "Mr. and Mrs. James I"
went there and proclaimed them
selves rulers in 1894.
But their reign over this small do
main that reeked with the odor OF
dead fish, ended in January of the
following year when the British sent
the warship Barracuda there to
take over possession.
This wasn't the first time James
Harden-Hickey was thrown out of
country. He established newspa-
per, LIE Triboulet. in Paris in 1878,
and was so obnoxious in his criti-
cism of the republican government
that he was expelled from France
in 1880.
He died suicide in Ell Paso, Tex
as, in 1898, just plain James Harden
Hickey, American citizen.

Elmo Scott Watson
An American Spahi

xAAA 1AAAASAASoA4 SSoAA
FEW Americans have ever heard
Of Marius Van de Weghe. He
stays pretty close to his tallow and
caustics, test tubes and chemicals
and other scientific apparatus in his
laboratory at a soap company in
Chicago.
You wouldn't suspect that Marius,
a young man Of less than 40 years.
is an Ouissam Alaouite Cherifen.
But that is what you are when the
Sultan Of Morocco gives you med
al and says that's what you are.
Because Van de Weghe, while q
soldier in Morocco, displayed I'M
usual bravery under fire. the sultan
knighted him. Van de Weghe was
spahi in the Moroccan army right
after the World war. A spahi is
cavalryman. During q fierce en-
gagement with rebel natives, Van
de Weghe rode back two miles into
enemy territory to bring back the
body of his slain commanding off,
Ger.
The kind of men the soldiers we're
fighting were those who tortured
their live captives and mutilated
those who we're killed. Van de
Weghe's heroism prevented the ma
tives from burying the body of his
commander with his head protrud-
ing to be eaten by insects.
But there is nothing of the hero in
Van de Weghe's present demeanor,
now that he is an American citizen
and the head Of a family. When
ever anyone expresses amazement
that he would risk his life to re-
trieve a dead body he adds his own
amazement, stating that neither can
he understand how he happened to
do it.

known to those living near them,
many remain mysteries beyond a
short distance past their entrances.
One purpose Of the society Is to
learn the possibilities of COM
mercializing some of these caves.
In the case Of Schoolhouse and the
Hellhole, this is doubtful-to indulge
in Observation-Disclosures more &C
cessible entrances are discovered.
States Offer Cooperation.
The scientific group also plans
to map uncharted caves and to make
reports on their formations and
other characteristics. The State
biologists Of Virginia and West Vir-
ginia are much interested in these
aims and have offered the organiza-
ton every cooperation. The owners
of the, land usually are glad to have
their caves explored, because they
may be harboring points of interest
to tourists. A few colored lights and
little ballyhoo often will do Won
ders.
In addition to those mentioned,
members of the West Virginia ex-
pedition included AL Lewis, the ad-
vertising man and Appalachian Trail
Club hiker; Alden Smell, B. j. Austin
Clark and Allen Black.

man got out Of the Hellhole. Then
the equipment had to be pulled
slowly and painfully up the dan
gerously slippery and dim-lit slopes
above this titanic scoop in the
mountain.
They strongly suspect that the
Schoolhouse and the Hellhole belong
to one huge cave system. If so, they
say, 1t will be the most extensive
east Of the Mammoth. The lime
stone hills Of this region are filled
with caves, large and small.
Daddy of Them ALL"
"But the Hellhole's the daddy of
them ALL" says Mr.. Harman, who
probably knows more about them
than anybody else. Nobody knows
how many miles 1t cuts through
these hills"
The Sociological Society plans
to resume the Schoolhouse-H -Hellhole
explorations, though 1T may be late
next year. Soon the SHOWS will
block such adventures, and in the
spring turbulent streams rush down
the mountains. The autumn, the
driest season, is the ideal time.
The group hopes, however, to ex-
plore portions of the Luray Caverns
in Virginia in January. While these
caverns are developed for tourists,
with electric lights and other facili-
ties, they have remote reaches never
explored.
While most caves in the Blue
