"CARRIER DOVE"
WAS ADVENTURER
.And Name Of Four Masted
Schooner Recently Wrecked
In Hawaiian Leper Isle Was
Misfit "s
Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 21 (By The
Associated Press) The recent wreck
of the four-masted American schoon
er Carrier Dove on a coral reef off
the west coast of Molokai, the "leper
Isle" of the Hawaiian group, brought
to an end an adventurous and check
ered sea career that belled theves
sel's pacific name, and breath . 1 of
the days of real sailing when steiim
was unknown. ' . '
' As cabled, the Carrier Dove went
ashore while enroute from the SouUV
Sea island of Tonga to San Franctecd
-with a capacity of cargo of 800 tons
"of copra. She broke up after several
tours of pounding and, with her car
0, was a total loss but the crew was
aved. It was the third and last
time tne vessel naa ueen. uuuic
Tocks. The two previous times sne
Tiad been pulled off with only slight
damages. On each of the occasions,
however, the Carrier Dove ran inte
extraordinary adventures.
When she rested on the rodks at
Levuka, Fiji, in Fbruary, 1920, she
-was extricated and her damaged re
paired, but Captain Gus Stoltenberg,
the master, was refused permission
"by the British authorities to sail from
the port, he said. The British au
thorities threatened to send a gun
Iboat after him, the captain said, but
Tie ran no the American flag, sailed
"and nothing came of it."
In September, 1903, the Carrier
Dove had come to rest on the rocks,
this time in the China Sea near Sha
veishan. Pirate Junkmen swarmed
aboard, routed the crew and forced
them from the vessel. This led to a
Teport to the State Department that
the ship had been lost. The pirates
-were forced to leave the Carrier Dove
ty heavy weather. Captain C. Jen
sen, then master, returned with
tome of the crew and found the ves
sel looted of most of her portable
fittings. A great part of her lum
lier cargo was removed and she was
floated, being repaired and placed in
commission later.

Fail In Duty
Karachi, India, Dec. 21 (By The
Associated Press) The AH' broth-j
ers' trial has just ended here after
holding the attention of all India;
for several weeks. By the jurys
verdict, the defendants were acquit
ted nt the charee of conspiracy to
seduce British troops but on the!
charge of making statements intend"
ed to cause His Majesty's troops to
fail in their duty, all except one
were found guilty and sentenced to
two years' imprisonment.
The summing up by the Judge to
the Jury took about one hour and
The court emphasized
the majesty of the law and declared
that the Jury must not give a ver
dict' of acquittal through fear 9f as
sassination because of threats by
Shaukat All, one of the defendants.
The chief argument for the de
fense was the plea that the accused
had acted in accordance' with re
ligious precepts, over which civil
law had no authority. In reply to a
question by the Judge as to whether
or not a man who committed mur
der on the ground of his religion
. nilht tn h. MmiHed from uunlsh
lthat an government that forbade
the practice of these precepts could
not expect loyalty. The prosecutor
vigorously assailed this contention.
In an address to the court. Shau
gat All, Is reported by the Sind Ob
server as saying:
"I am a subject of God, and a
free citizen of India. I do not want
the king nor his court nor the army.
Even if I am
persecuted to death, I
j shall be happy. It is my luty as a
jMussalman, not only to free myself,
'but to carry this message to every
jMussalman in the country. Who
lever kills a Mussalman intention
ally, hJs punishment is hell everlast
ing, and God's wrath and curse shall
be on him.
"Queen Victoria announced re-1
ligiotis freedom in her proelama-
tlon, but when the matter comes to
action, it is unheeded. It is my
duty to carry the message of Islamic
duty. I don't care whether soldiers .
or others listen to nie or not. Mr.
Magistrate, you might hang m on
earth or sky. Do what you like: I
don't care. I can't be friendly with
the enemies of Islam."
Here the magistrate Interrupted
Ii 'in. saying that he was not pre-
pared to listen to pall; leal speeches.
Thereupon Shaukat All flew Into a
p;iss!on and said: "You are insult
ini; my faith. I don't care for you'
What are you here? You are a nieie

All surveys on the Pasquotank
River bridge route at Elizabeth City
and on the Woodville State Highway
project, were completed Wednesday
morning by Locating Engineer T. L.
Bailey, of the State Highway Com
mission, First District, and the party
accompanying him. Mr. Bailey's
data has been forwarded to the
Commission at Raleigh for final ac
tion by the State road building body
with a view to early construction of
the two projects.
In connection with the Woodville
road, known as Project 173, surveys
have been made over two routes en
tering Elizabeth City. The first is
by way of Rum Road to Ehrlnghaus
street, and the second Is by a new
and stralghter highway as a suggest
ed route from a point near Corinth
Baptist church diagonally across to
Church street, extended, at a point
300 feet from the termination of the
present paving on that street. The
latter route, which would necessi
tate the building of a new road, is
shown by the surveys to save a little
over a quarter of a mile in the dis
tance from Woodville to Elizabeth
City. On the other hand, It passes
through a less densely settled sec
tion. Nothing definite Is yet available as
to the width of road to be con
structed, or as to the hard surfacing
material to be used. The State High
way Commission has gone no further
than to authorize the building of a
permanent road from this city to
Woodville, with' the expectation later
of continuing it to Hertford, and ul
timately to Edenton. The money for
the construction of the road will be
advanced by the Pasquotank High
way Commission, to be refunded by
the State Highway Commission with
in the next five years It Is expected
that work will begin on the road as
soon as the Commission determines
the complete route, and can get a sat-,
isfactory contract for its construc
tion. Engineer Bailey and his party will
leave Monday for Scotland Neck,
where they will make preliminary
surveys for a bridge to be built over
the Roanoke River.
