What Is.Y our, i P AT S By PRESTON GROVER ‘WASHINOTON, Sept. 28.—To be- gin with, it always amazes us that the Pilgrims ever landed at Plym- outh Rock without wrecking on a reef! It might be added that Coast Guard officers with a historical bent have studied the thing and it still mystifies them. They hate to get “soft and religious” but some of them will say there were so many chances for the Pilgrims to hit a reef that you have to lay it to something besides accident that they got through. They had no true maps and there wasn't a light- house along the whole coast. These things dawn upon you as you cruise up and down the New England coast.
