B. Groff N THE early dawn today a small gray sleop of ancient esien drifted slowly thru the bay Witha eak cable and of t hawee hor was dropped overboard, to disappear in the black waters beneath her bow. Few there were who noticed the craft No crowds collected along the plers to welcome her. Four hundred yards off shore the sloop lay, a misty shadow on the dark waters, while a dogen seagulls brushed her sides. Christopher Columbus had re | turned to visit the country he j discovered 429 years ago! rie Sse A Star reporter shoved off in a dingy to Interview the shade of the great navigator, He found Columbus taking breakfast in his tiny cabin under the high poop deck. Columbus looked up as the raporter entered and of fered a chair, “I return every year to visit the United States,” Columbus explained, with a bright amile “and almost invariably I find Puget sound blanketed in fog.” The great man finished hin poached egg and lighted a cigar. } “On, yes,” he said, In feply to a question, “I have acquired the smoking habit, I find it a great relief to my nerves when talk- ing to congressmen, I tried to quit smoking once, but I can't | stand to see others do it when | I'm not. What America needs more than anything else is a good nickel cigar. “When I first hit this country we used to swipe stogies from the Indians, but even at that they were better than this weed I've got now, “Furlny, isn't it.” mused Co lumbus, leaning back in his chair and puffing out great clouds of smoke. “This year [ find Amer. fea dry. The prohibition law is in effect, and a person can't even get a shot of wine.” “Il remember,” said Columbur s| ‘the first day we landed in this country. We were expecting to find India, We were atl thirsty, and| when we sighted land, rushed to the boats and made for shore. The| beach was deserted except for a) | dozen or more natives. We asked! | the way to the nearest bar to get a jdrink. The Indians didn’t seem to | understand, and when I motioned] jat my throat, to show I wanted a drink, they brought us a goat and milked it, “America was sure dry then, but in spite of that, there was great re joicing in Europe. And now,” he continued ruefully, “I find the same condition existing.” eee Asked what he thought of the country, Columbus replied, “I think the nation is going along fairly weil, all things considered. There isn’t paven difference between now and }my day. When we were in contro! j here, historians say we treated the Indians pretty roughly, but look at the way you folks treat the Fili- pinos. “Seattle is a wonderful port. I like it. But I think perhaps you should pull together more. I have | noticed several petty squabbles in [recent months that have hurt the city In many ways. There's noth ing like co-operation to get results. “When Seattle business men get | together with the labor element, all | this hard talk will be in the discard, atay. eee “Well,” said Columbus,” I've got to get busy now. Tomorrow we sail for Australia, and be- lieve me, it’s some job in this antiquated old hooker. I'm go- ing ashore now and get my clearance papers. Gosh, but I wish I had a steamship.” ‘CHARGE CARRIER ~ BURNS LETTERS | DENVER, Colo, Oct. 12—Lester | Coat, 21, a substitute mail carrier in the Denver postoffice, found tramp- ing his route with a sack of adver |tising literature, catalogues and form letters extremely tiresome, Today Coat was under arrest,| pending his hearing before a federal | grand jury, on a charge of having| burned more than 2,000 pieces of} first-class mail.
