. ADVENTURERS TRY | TRIP [P RIVER Several White Men Have Gone Up --None Came Down Honolulu, Nov. 6.-—~A breath of romance — limpid lagoons — boiling | through the ocean, with all sail set, at the speed of an average steamer— lif2 among the natives in a far-off South Sea isle—of the beginning of a 600-mile trip up a river on which Mmany White men have set out, but none returned—is contained in a let- @er received here from” Myrry N. Fay, commander of the “Narwhal Ex- pedition,” an adventurous group of men, who satled”their own smail ves- sel out of Sal Francisco bay almost & 'year ago to cruise among the South Seas, drifting from port to port with whatever cargo might be picked up. The miscellaneous cargo, including a large shipment of dynamite, that the Narwhal carried from San Fran- cisco, was delivered safely at its South Sea destination, agcording to the let- ter, which was received by A. D. Taylor, Honolulu newspaperman and author. The letter was dated “Lattitude 15:54; longitude 180, July 27, 1923 and spent more than seven weecks reaching its destination, “The ‘Narwhal Expedition’ is still on the map, or rather moving around on the map,” it sald. “Right now we arc passing through the channcl be- tween the island of Thikombia and Vanua Levu of the Fiji group. We also are crossing the 180th -meridian, where we jump a day. “We had a wonderful time in the Samoan islands, I think I saw as much of them as any white man has cver seen. While at Upole, I went on a trip with the New Zealand gov- ernor and visited native villages ng the shores. We were feted in each village. We lived in their grass huts and 1 Wwas able to get pictures some of their_celcbrations that have never been photographed be. tore. 1 stayed il Apia several weeks an® went to Pago Pago where I made two trips—one to the Manua group where we lived with the natives for o week. The Samoans on these is. lands appear to be far ahead of the others, because the white man very rarely gets to anua. “Our nékt stop will be Noumca. We will spend a week or two there getting the final touches for the real adventure, For we intend to go from there to New Guinea where we hope to ascend the IFly viver for about 604 miles. We realize that we are tak- ing a long chance, as five expeditions have gone up this river, and not a man has returned from them. We hope to benefit by their mistakes, We haye a vory fast whale boat and of we are guarding oursclyes against the | disenses that play havoe with the white man in these countries and we will always be careful, About the tifte this lotter rewches you we will bhe starting up the river and 1 feel wie With the precautions that we are taking, that we will get through safely, “These Bouth Seas are surely the pluce for a’ fellow to get romance under his £kin, It scems to be a sort of discase that cvery one gets down here, This old salling vesscl of ours adds to that romantic fecling steals er us, Right now we nre bolling along as as the aver. age steamer goes, all sall is set, and every Wme a gust of wind hits us, the old ship gives a graceful swoop t sort of reminds me of a race. hors “T'he enthusiasm that prompted ws to go on this trip has only bean in- tensified by the wonderful expericnces are getting.” I"ay said that the Narwhal expect. «d to be in Henolulu on its return trip to the mainland in sbven or eight monhs. we LITTLE ENCOURAGEME T British Voreign Office Disappointed in French Note, By The Assoclated Press. London, Nov. 6.~Officials of the foreign office searched Irance’s latest note today for some glimmer of hope on the reparations deadlock but stat- «d frankly that they found littie or ho encouragement, As already indicated, the French reply, which was received last night, suggests that the experts’ inquiry should be confined to Germany's “capacity to pay at present and for a limited period in the future” There was no precise indication as to what length of time was meant to be covered by the phrase “limited period in the future.” HEADS CHURCH BOARD.
