SEA CAPTAIN TO
TAKE VACATION
Two Tragedies Aboard His
Ship Deciding Factor To
Become LandIubber

Glenn H. Melichar, captain of
the SIS John Wise which came in
to port Thursday loaded with nj
trate, yesterday said he would not
go to sea again for many years
in view of a double disaster which
struck his ship soon after it left
Tocopilla, Chile.
Melichar, who said he was due
a vacation after his cook was
stabbed and another seaman jump
ed overheard and drowned on the
way to Cristobal, Canal Zone. is
survivor of five Pacific invasions
during World War II.
The sea captain related the
events on the Inflated voyage be-
tween Tocopilla and Cristobal.
Ii Wang Huai, a Shanghai Chin
csc, allegedly stabbed and killed
Antonio Lopez, a Spaniard and
cook on the vessel after Lopez
jokingly remarked to Huai that
he was going tc toss him over
board.
The Chinese apparently misun-
derstood the joke and stabbed the
cook. The crew of the ship carried
Wrenches and hammers with them
the remainder of the voyage for
protection.
Two days before death struck
for the first time. This time Chen
All Chae, also a Chinese, drowned
after jumping overheard. The
captain could establish no con-
nection between the two deaths.
The deaths occurred on May rs
and on May %, the Captain re-
ported.

New Bootleg Method
Revealed In Court

The latest wrinkle in carrying
illicit liquor in Wilmington is to
place it in a jar, put the jar inside
an old automobile tire inner tube,
tie the inner tube on a bicycle
and pedal away to your destna-
ton.
Jessie Carter, 80, Negro, car.
ried his liquor that way. AT least
that was the story of ]. c. Cook,
ABC agent in Recorders Court
yesterday. And Judge Winfield
Smith though enough of the story
to slap a $40 fine and four months
on the county farm against Carter.
Cook testified he found Carter
last Memorial day pedaling down
Market street with non-taxed
liquor transported in that fashion.
In case Carter fell of his bicycle
and the jar broke, the liquor still
would remain inside the inner
tube. explained the agent.
