Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England, June 29 P—Sir Frank Dyson, as- tronomerroyal,' heading the royal observatory expedition, told the As- soclated Press that this morning’s eclipse was the most brilllant he had ever observed. “The tongues of fire around the sun at the totality stage,” he de- clared, “may give us something to think about. The eclipse was not different in principle from other to- tal eclipses, but more accurate ob- servations made may lead to new conclusions. Pictures were taken under better conditions' and with better apparstus than ever before. The work of developing them and analyzing the results will begin im- mediately.” D. W. Morehouse, of Drake Uni- versity, Des Moines, Ia., visited the observatory of Giggleswick last night on his way to Southport where he was to make his own observa- tions, having come to England es- pecially for this purpose.

STARTS 0 SHIH FOR OTHER SIDE But Tntrepid - Landberg I Hauled on Board New York, June 29 (#)—The simi- larity of his name to that of another intrepid spirit was in the mind of Capt. Charles Lundberg as he paced the deck of his mud scow, tied up at 23d street, Brooklyn, in the after- midnight darkness yesterday. For days the captain, who lives at No. 176 Henry street, Brooklyn, when he is not sailing the bounding main, had thought of little else and had even taken to calling his mud scow Spirit of Brooklyn. In his mind's eye he was soaring into glory with that oth.r descend- ant of the Vikings when he inad- vertently walked off the scow into the backwash of the Atlantic the other had traversed. With the chill that shot through him as the water enveloped him came a flash of in- spiration. The world was soon to know that the only difference be- tween a Lindbergh and » Lundberg wus a couple of letters. There was no Grover Whalen there to bid him godspeed as he struck boldly out to swim from Brooklyn across the Atlantic to im. mortality. No encouraging whistles from thle dozens of craft that thre: ened constantly to run him down reached his ears, for none could sce him bobbing along with a favorable tide. 1In fact, it was not until he was about four miles out, two hours after shoving off, that he was first sighted. At that point, passengers and members of ‘the crew of the munici- pal ferryboat American Legion heard cries emanating from the inky waters of the bay, their bur- den being a suggestion that the ferryboat get to hell out of the way. When a searchlight revealed the figure of & man headed in the gen- eral direction of Cherbonrg, mem- bers of the crew, not knowing that a trans-Atlantic swim was under way, lowered a lifeboat, into which they dragged the protesting Lund- berg. “Mind your own business, why don't you?” demanded Lundberg, as soon as he could get his breath. “What do you mean, bu‘ting in this way?" . “Why, wé saved your hife THE COOL LOGES RESERVED NIGHTS TRAN PHONE 'l'O\IORRDW LERA & SPENCER THE VAUDEVILLE FARCE Do ol PG R T I RICH & CHERIE “THE TOREADORS" MARION MURRAY & CO* in “MAMMA GOES A’ HUNTING” 4 GIRTON GIRLS “TOMBOYS ON WHEELS” FRIEND, KING & CO. “THE MUSICAL JESTERS” EXTRAORDINARY ATTRACTION!! 3 DAYS Beginning MONDAY AFTERNOON The Darling of the Movies!

Maybe you thought you were rescuing me, and it you were, all I can say is I never saw & worse rescue. If I couldn't get a man out of the water better than that I'd let him stay there.” Police took Capt. Lundberg to the Staten Island hospital for treatment for wetness, which was found to be about fifty-fifty, outside and in. All the recognition his feat brought to him, was a black look from the po- lice and their decision to detain him until a couple of alienists have passed on his trans-Atlantic swim- ming plans. 8ic transit gloria Lund- berg.
