SHIPYARD'S FIRST
WOMAN EMpLOYE
TO SPONSOR ship

Miss Margaret Sellers, of vii
mington, the first woman employ
ed by the North Carolina Ship
building company, has been Sc
lected to christen the S. S. White
Falcon, 150th' vessel to near com,
pletion here, when it goes down
the ways at II o'clock Wednesday
morning.
In announcing the appointment
of Miss Sellers for the honor, Of
ficials of the company said Tues
day that she established an eX-
ceptionally good attendance and
efficiency record since entering
the yard.
Her attendants will be Mrs. L..
v. Swami and Miss Dorothy
Forbes, both of Wilmington.
The S. S. White Falcon is the
Nth CO type ship to be built by
Re company and is named for a
famous American clipper ship.
The original White Falcon, built
at Pittston, Me-, in 1853, was
owned by M. o. Roberts of New
York and was engaged in trade
principally with China and the
vest coast Of Central America and
was never on the San Francisco
run. During the winter of 1856
1857, in company with the Great
Republic, queen of clippers and
other fine American ships, me
was under charter to the French
government carrying stores from
Marseilles to the Crimea.
Early in 1862 she was reported
as ashore at Foo Chow, being
floated with the loss of a portion
of her keel She was locked and
repaired at Hong Kong, later pro-
ceeding to Manila. She sailed
thence March End and arrived at
New York on June goth.
Shortly after her arrival at New
York, on this passage, the Falcon
was seized by the government on
account of her ownership then be-
ing with Southerners. On Aug. IL,
1862 she was sold by order of the
Prize commissioners for $21, 1000
to Boston parties. Under command
of Captain William L. Merry she
left New York October 10, 1862
with 1,400 tons of coal to be dis
tributed at San Juan del Sur to
the steamers of Commodore Van
derbilt's Nicaragua Line.
After her cargo. was distributed,
the Falcon returned in ballast to
San Francisco, arriving Jan. 8,
1864, in 81 days from Acapulco.
She was soon after sold for $685.

600 gold to Canavero & Co., of
Lima, N. LARGO of San Francisco
becoming her agens She became
the Peruvian ship Napoleon Cana
vero and was used to transport
coolies from China to the Chincha
island guano deposits. On pas
sage from China to Callao, early
in 1866, her coolie passengers be-
came rebellious and were driven
below by force of arms, after
which the matches were put on
and secured. The coolies rather
than be suffocated, set fire to the
ship and the crew finding they
could not extinguish the flames
left in the boats without opening
the matches, thus leaving the $50
unfortunates below to perish. The
crew was later picked up by a
passing ship.

name of Thomas J. Corcoran, once

No Subversive Tinge
Chairman Fly Of the Federal
Communications commission said
today that Pearl Harbor authori-
ties, distrusting the japanese many
months before they attacked, kept
a close check on Japanese-lan-
guage broadcasts by Hawaiian sta
tons but found no subversive tinge.
The question of whether Japa-
nese-language programs might en-
danger the area came up "early
in 1884," Fly told the House com
mittee investigating broad charges
against the conduct of the FEC.
Fly filed a flat denial of all the
charges, including one that he
blocked the armed forces request
to take over from the FEC control
of foreign broadcast intelligence.
He said the Army. Navy and
Federal Bureau of Investigation
had in fact, commended the CO.
operation they got from the FEC
and had entrusted his agency with
sole responsibility for running
down any enemy radio transmit
tiers in Hawaii. None was found.
