Frenchman prepared his dagger AS he was
about to stab the sleeping beast he noticed
that her eyes were open and watching him.
He looked at her caressngly and when she
did not spring upon him, he put his dagger
away.
He reached out his hand and stroked her
back. Her eyes became gentle and she began
to purr like big cat.

The soldier was rescued. but he never got
over the feeling that he had murdered some
one he loved and who returned his love.
Dennis tragedy was the second at the
London Zoo but the adventure of Stanley
Stenson was not accompanied by such hard
ships.
Stanley also loved adventure, but his am
bition was to become famous as a daredevil
One day he and a friend were at Whips

For bet of 5 pounds Stanley climbed over
the ratings of the lions den to get hat
his friend had thrown in.
Stanley and his friend had made the Jour-
ney to Whipsnade because he said he liked
lions so much that he insisted on seeing them
every week.
On this OCCASION the lions had just been
fed and were contentedly gnawing bones.
Suddenly, Stenson vaulted over the para
pet and climbed down the 20 foot railing
into the dell where the lions were lying. AS
he thrust his arm through the grid to fetch
the hat one of the lions gave a bound and
grabbed his arm.
Stenson lost his footing on the concrete
ledge and suspended in mid-air with his
arm held in the grip Of the lions jaw.
The friend went to his aid to shoe the lion

Stenson tried his best TO make the lion let
so. But all efforts failed
Within few minutes he tainted fell to the
bottom of the den and was dragged across
to the cave by the lion and another beast
which had scented blood
The keepers managed to drive the beasts
away from the mutilated body Stenson was
dead-another victim of foolhardy adventure.
AT the inquest came the real surprise.
Stenson was not just fool who had tried
to win silly bet. The police found he was a
criminal who started his career with the
determination to become notorious by his
crimes and adventures.
His trademark in all his crimes was a lion.
He called himself the Lion Of English Gang

something was wrong. But in the deep black
out Dennis found it easy to escape detection.
He lived a gypsy life either in the Zoo
grounds or in the woods near the Zoo. Some
nights he hid at closing time so that he could
spend the whole period of darkness among the
animals. At dawn he would slip back to his
hdng-place.
His disappearance had been reported to the
police and a search was made. His parents
and friends combed the Zoo during the day.
time. thinking he might be found there. But
Dennis was well hidden.
Then came the very cold spell during
which the sea-lions' pond was frozen.
On previous occasions when the pond was
frozen Dennis had gone home from the Zoo
and cried bitterly because he had not been
able to see the animals.
This time he was determined to miss
nothing.
Each night he crept into the Zoo grounds
and made his way to the pond hoping TO see
that the ice was broken and that sea-ons
were swimming about as usual.
But the cold remained and night after
night Dennis was disappointed. He must have
crawled back to his hide-out.
During this time. it. is hard to imagine
what the frail lad ate. Perhaps he found
scraps left over from picnic lunches, or the
remains of a bottle of pop
But one evening, Dennis found the pond
was clear of ice. A sudden thaw had melted
the surface. The water was clean and clear
and the sea-lions were at their best. They
frolicked about in the moonlight and Dennis
decided TO spend the night with them.
1t was still quite cold and for several
nights there had been snow. How Dennis
survived those bleak nights, no one knows
For when he entered the enclosure of the
sea-lions, he wore only a shirt and Knockers,
and the temperature was only few degrees
above freezing. No one, of course saw the
tragedy. But this was probably what hap
pened
After the keepers had closed the Zoo,
Dennis made his way to the sca-lions pond.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-21

He climbed over the ratings around the
pond and dropped onto the cement floor Of
the den which runs around the water.
Undoubtedly he had done this several
times before and the sea-hons were used to
his visits.
The beasts are famed for their tameness
and friendliness. Perhaps they thought Den
mis- had an unexpected evening meal for them.
But Dennis had nothing to give away. In
fact, he was almost starving.
The sea-ons went TO welcome him, prob
ably wadding up in a body, waving their flip
pers and jostling one another in their anxiety
TO get in the front row.
In the melee, Dennis got frightened so
that he missed his footing in the dark and fell
into the pond. Perhaps he was pushed in by
the scrambling beasts.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-06-21

Dennis could not
swim very well. Even
if he could, it is more
than likely that the
animals followed him
in the water and got
in his way.
Thirty-six hours later
his body was found in
the pool. That was on

pearance. Only re-

The Navy Department today
revealed an unsuccessful at
tempt by a japanese submarine
to ram a United States Coast
Guard lifeboat sent to rescue
survivors of the torpedoed
steamship Emidio on December

A powered lifeboat manned by
Chief Boatswain Garner j. Church
i'll and four men was dispatched
from the Humboldt Bay Lifeboat
Station after it had been deter
mined that conditions in the area
were too dangerous for a larger
vessel. Departing at 8:35 pm. De-
cember 20. the lifeboat proceeded
through intermittent rain squalls
toward the scene of the torpedoe-
ing, the Navy announcement said.
About O'Clock next morning the
lfeboat's lookout reported a large,
unlighted object looming up on the
port bow that proved to be a long.
low. rakish craft without masts
stack or housing. The vessel made
no response to light signals. and as
the lifeboat continued on. the other
vessel overlook and attempted to
ram it. the announcement related.
Chief Churchill changed his
course quickly and avoided being
struck. Positive Identification was
impossible due to darkness, but a
later check showed no United States
vessels in this area at that time.
The lifeboat continued on its
course, and after finding no signs
of life on board the Emidio started
back toward the Humboldt Bay
Station. About $50 am. a peri
scope was sighted about 600 yards
from the lifeboat, then about 4
miles northeast Of the Emidio. The
periscope disappeared in few min.
utes, but reappeared about Is min
utes later. The submarine followed
the lifeboat for about five minutes
and then disappeared and was not
sighted again. The lifeboat reached
its base about 12:45 pm. without

AT the same time, the President

In q second expression on the
question of individual service in the
fighting forces, the White House
today expressed the opinion that
men who are currently employed
abroad on projects essential to con-
duct of the war should continue
with their present labors rather
than return home for conscription
or enlistment.
These two pronouncements on
problems relating closely to national
habits In wartime came as the
President was devoting his morning

several weeks of consultations
among American and British auth
critics, singly and jointly.
Mr.. Early implied that some Of
these ideas are nearing a point
where they will be applied directly
to the war effort, and indicated by
climactic discussions might be called

In his letter Of inquiry on the war

Judge Lands noted that major
league teams would soon be starting
for training camps and that the
question of continuance of the sport
should be considered at this time.
Asserting that final decision
should be vested in the club owners
and business organizations of the
game, the President wrote that it
was his personal opinion that the
country would benefit by mainte-
nance of the organized sport.
With employment both in num-
ber of jobs and intensity of work
greatly increased, he declared that
baseball offers recreation opportuni-
ties at relatively little cost and time.
Three hundred teams using between
5000 and 5000 players are positive
recreational asset to as many as
100000 persons, the President
concluded.
