George vi. began his reign in
1886 Britain directly ruled $50
million people. But today Britain
administers law and order among
only 120 million.
Then a British foreign minister
had only to drop a shoe and diplo-

and Iran thumb their noses at
London's demands.
The seeds of imperial decay al

Britain at least could pay her way
in international commerce. To-
day, she is the debtor Of the
world.
Decline Of Workshop.
Then India, Pakistan. Ceylon,
Burma, Fire and Palestine all
were within the empire. Now the
first three are independent ma
ltions within the commonwealth.
The last three have severed all
connections and Fire is Ireland
once more.
When George vi ascended the
throne Britain still was one Of the
worlds main workshops. But the
factories of Elizabeth's England
are rundown, their equipment is
out Of date. The whole war-bat-
tered production machine is un-
able to compete efficiently with
those Of some other nations.
Much Of this resulted directly
from World War II.
To win that struggle Britain
sacrificed most Of the money she
had saved at the peak Of her
power in the nineteenth century
She sold many OF her overseas in
vestments to pay for guns and
food.
The war also altered power
balances in the world. It cata-
pulted Russian and the United
4 States into positions of domi-
nance, splitting the world into two
rival blocs.

The new Queen is likely to see

to come. But she still Is the
symbol of a unique unity In a
divided world. To remain So,
however, she must inspire her
people to unite for survival, to
produce more and spend less as
the price for economic recovery.
Much depends on her PERSONAL

empire. Thrice she has gone to

SANDRNGHAM, England, Feb.
"a kingdoms love for its dead

humble procession Of villagers past

Sandringham's royal chapel.
Next week will come the majes-
tic lying-in-state at London's
ancient Westminster Hall and
funeral Friday at Windsor Castle
with the jeweled imperial state
crown atop the coffin, when the
great of Britain and other nations
will pay tribute.
Today it was the simple rural
folk of Norfolk who offered their
last respects to the sovereign they
knew best as a friendly squire
and neighbor. Some came on BIZ

O Sandringham oak.
In the estates red brick man
sion 200 yards away, Queen Eliza

her widowed mother, sister and
children. She mourned as any
English daughter mourns her
father, quietly and alone with her
family.
Since her arrival at Sandring-
ham yesterday as the proclaimed
monarch of this and other realms,
Elizabeth has been trying to ex-
plain to three-year-old Prince
Charles why he cannot see his be-
loved grandpa again. The puzzled
prince, who stands next in line to
the throne, knows only that his
grandfather has gone away.

Century"
at did not seem unlikely that
she could have been a New Eng
land fishing vessel, for her size
and shape, plus the fact that such
boats dotted the shores of Ameri-
ca for over a century, made the
supposition logical enough. How
ever, one must consider that those
Essex-built Pinks and Bankers
were unusually stout, seagoing
craft heavily built throughout {.
presumable more so than the hull
in question. Also, as the use of
bronze in fishing vessels was un-
common in early days, we find
ourselves going back to the JEFF
fersonian gunboat," wrote Kaiser.
"For example, in addition to the
dimensions and shape conforming
to gunboat plans yet available,
the copper fastenings check with
the dimensions shown in contem-
porary Navy requisions for ma
terial consigned to the gunboat
program. And she is heavily franz
ed forward as behooves a vessel
mounting there a heavy gun, and
which might be called to ram
small boats or similar craft. Also
the wreck appears to have been
lightly rugged las is evidenced by
the lack of mast step or local stiff
fleming in the mortised keel. That
jibes with the Mosquito Fleet of
Jefferson; it was basically sweep
propelled with sails but auxiliary
to oars"
'Most of the gunboats of the
program rotted in desuetude,
though some did have a more in
teresting time going" continued
Kaiser" A few were lost at sea,
and records show that one was
washed ashore in a gale to lodge
amongst some trees a half mile
inland from a South Carolina
beach. But of more pertinent in
terest is Gunboat No. 14O, which
exploded off Ocracoke Inlet in
1914. One can easily enough con-
ceive that she burned to the wa
ter's edge and later drifted ashore
at Mays Head, and that is the
wreck that we see today"
That may, or may not be the
answer to the question about what
kind of boat this wreck near here
may be.
The Informative article appear
ing in Shipyard Bulletin was IL
lustrated with several pictures,
one being the plans of an early
American gunboat of the type be-
lieved to be under the sands of
Mays Head today. The illustration
of Gunboat No. SIS plans reflected
that the craft was so feet long,
with a beam of II feet. Her hold
depth was four feet. This length
and breadth is approximately the
measurements of the mystery
wreck" Of Bodie Island in the
Mays Head sector today, or that is,
the part that is above the sand.
