Creb- bin who was serving in the cruiser at the time. | “When the § O §. was picked up | from the Vestris,” said the quoted | account, “she had fire in her coal cargo and was making for St. Lucia. We raced toward her and found that the liner had run ashore near a jetty and that her 400 passengers had been landed and lodged in some dis- used barracks. “Although the Yarmouth had much ammunition aboard, we placed her alongside the burning liner and manned the pumps. For a week we poured water into the steamer, ae- tually filling the holds before we could extinguish the fire. ‘Once during the operations, she tilted over to an angle of 20 de- grees and we were afrald she was going 4o fall on us. We had to cut adrift and leave her for several Rours."” The naval officer was further quoted as recalling that as soon as the fire had been subdued in the Vestris, an 8 O & had been received from another Lamport & Holt vessel, the cargo carrier Tennyson, whose coal also caught fire. The Yar- mouth’s crew went to the Tenny- son's aid and pumped water into her bunkers until the blaze was ex- tinguished. Another’s Opinion New York, Nov. 16 (PM—Frederick L. Dennis, assistant inspector of bollers of the United States steam- boat service who was one of the three men who passed the steamer Vestris as seaworthy, said today that he had not inspected the ash hopper valve in the bottom of the ship, but even if it was cracked, as some of the crew are reported to have said, it could not have caused the sinking. Dennis said this valve is a small fron pipe to pump water from the bottom of the ship to the ash hop- per, from which the liquefied ashes are then pumpad overboard. If the valve wrere cracked, or even open, Dennis said, the amount of water allowed to enter would be insuffi- clent to flood the ship. Although he did not inspect the ash hopper valve, Dennis said he did inspect the sea valves, through which water is taken into the con- densers in the engine room, and found them in good condition.

ETHNOLOGY BUREAL STUDIES INDIANS Eflects ol Enviroament by Red Men Are Shown Washington, Nov. 16 UP—Un. usually clear evidence of the efects of surrounding and associations in shaping the development of peoples over long periods has been brou:ht' back to the bureau of American | Ethnology by J. P. Harrington -ner; a summer of investigation among | the Indians of the southwest. Harrington has devoted several years to intensive study of the sur- viving groups of primitive Indians in that region, which was the “promised land” of their ancestors and, before the white man came, supported a larger native population than any other section of the con- tinent, His hope is to obtain a com- prehensive record of the native lan- guages, cultures and histories before death removes the few remaining, rapidly aging Indians who can fur- nish the information. Studying the exceptionally primi- tive group that has lived for un- number ed generations in the Taos pueblos in the heart of the Rocky Mountains about 60 miles north of Santa Fe., N. M,, he discovered this summer that their language is un- mistakably related genetically to that of the Kiowas of Oklahoma. These tribes which are the same size with about 900 members each, have widely divergent culturea, but he is convinced that they are de. scendants from the same ancieat stock. “The Kiowas,” he relates, “have throughout historical times follow- ed the custams of the Indians of the Great Plains, hunting buffalos, using skin tepees, and practicing the religion of the wandering prairie Indians. But they origi- m nally came from what is now Mon- tana, and may at an earlier time have lived in Canada, “The Tos Indians, who speak the same language, lived by raising corn and beans, made permanent villages of mud houses and fol- lowed the religion of the New Mex- ico Indians, which is very different from that of the prairie tribes. “We therefore have, in the com- parison of the Kiowa and Taos tribes, & fine example of how con- tact and association, if carried on long enough, make the man or tribe. In this instance, if it had not been for the retention of the ojd language, it might never have n known that these tribes are in part descended from.the same people and have taken on ! their peculiar cultures because af sep- arate histories and surroundi “Similar developments can be pointed to in the Old.
