PASSENGERS JUMP

Passengers on the huge pleas
ure craft, which had been set
ablaze by flaming gasoline from
burning freight sheds nearby,
saved themselves from death by
plunging into the ST. Clair River
or sliding down hawserS.
Minutes after the fire started,
the Harmonic began to drift help
lessly. Then with its whistle
screaming frantically, It was
towed by American coast guard
boats toward the middle of the
river. Flames shot through the
superstructure and dense smoke
billowed from its sides.
Passengers who had jumped
bobbed around in the water until
coast guard and pleasure boats
shot out from both the American
and Canadian sides to save them.
HOSPITAL FILLED
The Sarnia General Hospital
where the injured we're taken, was
a scene of confusion.
Beds were set up in corridor:
and Red Cross workers were
rushed from Port Huron, across
the International Bridge, to help
overburdened nurses.
An emergency call was sent out
for doctors.
When the fire started. the vaca.
tion bound passengers aboard the
craft were either in their state
rooms, eating in the dining room
or strolling along the deck.
The Harmonic had put in at Sar
MIA just two hours before and wa.
due 10 depart for Sault Ste. Marie
in the morning.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

from Martha Botley comes q
friendly letter in which she says:
L read your column whether
read anything else in the paper or
not. Will you tell about hoop
snakes? My grandmother said
there were really such snakes, and
that they had a stinger like a
ROSTERS spur which would kill any
thing it struck"
There is only one place I ever saw
a hoop snake that "hooped." That
was in a comic sheet about 80 years
ago. There, right before my eyes,
was a snake which had curved it
self into circle, and which held it's
tail in its mouth! 1t even rolled
down a hill, as hoop might rolli
The comic strip which had those
pictures told an old story about
snakes which could roll around like
hoops.
In the actual world, snakes are
not to be seen doing any such thing.
Yet there are snakes which have
the name of being hoop snakes"
Blacksnakes have been called
hoop snakes They include black
racers and their near-relatives, the
blue racers. These snakes reach a
length of or feet, but they are
harmless to people. They feed chief
ly on frogs, toads, mice and birds
eggs. They have no spur, or stinger,
with which to strike a deadly blow.
If any one ever tells you he knows
there are snakes which curve into
hoops, you might ask him whether
he has seen one himself. If he re-
plies that he has, you might well
say that the next time he sees one,
he should catch it alive. If he
could take such a reptile to a uni
versity or museum, and could prove
that it would roll along like hoop.
with its tail in its mouth, he might
earn a big reward, perhaps $10O or
more!
Nature has so many things of real
wonder that there surely is no need
to invent stories about animals.
Take, for example, the legless lizard
known as a glass snake 1t has
a tail which is so brittle that it will
break off easily. When an enemy
of glass snake seizes it's tail, the
tail is cast off and the rest of the
animal escapes. Later 1t grows a
new tail and may play the same
trick on another enemy.
