Many Wish Sir Ernest Success As Leaves the Shackleton Little Ship Thames.' London, Sept 17. The Quest, the small ship on which Sir Earnest Shaskleton shall exxplore the un chartered seas of the South At lantic and Pacific and Antarctic, left the Thames today on the start of a two-year voyage. A large crowd gathered on the dock to wish Sir Ernest and his party a successful voyage. The voyage of the Quest, the quaint little 200-ton ship has 'for its objectives not only oceano- graphic research of a "lost" island Tunaki the adjacent waters or which have not been .. sailed for more than 90 years. In addition, soundings will be taken of the ocean plateau surrounding Cough's Island in an effort to determine the truth regarding a supposed under water continental connection ' be tween Africa and America. Nineteen persons, representing each of the British self-governing dominions, are expected to be aboard when the tiny but stanch craft, "built for ttgnt corners," leaves Capetown, South Africa, for two years of buffeting its way thru the Antarctic ice. The Quest, which uses both sail and steam, and which may cover more than 30,000 miles before us return home, was constructed ac cording to the personal ideas of Shackleton who, has made several voyages to the Antarctic. He com manded the British expedition oi 1907-09, which reached within 97 miles of the South Pole and also the expedition of 1914-15 to Wed- dell Sea. His present ship is 111 feet long, 25 feet beam and 12 feet in depth. She was built in Norway in 1917 of oak, pine and spruce and has been tested in heavy ice. Her sides are two feet thick and her bows are of solid oak sheathed with steel. Her steaming ramus is ,uuu miles and. under sail, in a stiff breeze the Quest can make eight knots. She carries wireless equip ment and an airplane with a 25- foot wing spread. She has a glass enclosed bridge and a lookout that resembles a flour barrel. Mai. C. R. Carr. an English sol dier of fortune, the aviator of the expedition, plans to fly above the anarctic fogs to scout out passages between the floes thru which the Quest may pass. He is also the photographer and naturalist of the expedition. The biplane he will use is one of only three that were ever built. The other two were flown, respectively, by Col. Borten V. C, the pjqneer flyer from Eng land to Mesopotamia and by Sir Ross Smith, the first man to fly from England to Australia WANT U. S. TO BUY v GERMAN DIRIGIBLE (Br Tha Aaaadataa' Prau) Wanhinirton.

QUEST ON WBY TO SHU US MACK IN SALISBURY Evangelist Who is Con ducting Revival, at Spencer is to Preach at First Methodist. (Br A. W. HICKS) Spencer, Sept. 17. Cyclone Mack the evangelist now conducting an intense religious campaign in Spencer, will preach at the First Methodist church in Salisbury Sun day at 11 a. m., according to an announcement made by him" today. Ihe appointment is a part of the extension work committee, of which Mr. P. Stoudemire is chair man, endorses the plan. .There are many in Salisbury and vicinity who have been unable to get out to Spencer to hear the evangelist and the appointment at the Salisbury church will afford an opportunity to hear him there in one of his strong sermons chacteristic of the noted evangelist. It is expected there will be a packed house at the 11 o'clock service. Sunday at 3:30 p. m. the evangelist will preach in the tent, and again at 7:30 in the tent. It is anticipated that this the third Sunday of the revival here will bring the largest crowds of any day so far and that there will be great gathering of souls at all the services. Tonight at 7:30 the subject will be "Rest" which it is believed will interest many people. Un rtiday night Cyclone Mack preached one'of his strongest ser mons to an audience of some 5,000 to 6,000 people. He was heard with deep interest throughout and the sermon produced many evi dences of gratifying results. In his closing appeal to the unsaved the preacher begged his hearers to cut loose from the besetting sin that holds them in satanic bonds. God is trying to break you loose from that black sin and bring you back to himself. A lot of you folks think that because you were con firmedin a Lutheran church, or an Episcopal church, or baptised in a Methodist, Baptist, or Presbyter ian church that you are going to be saved, but I want to tell you that this sort of thing will send you forty fathoms below hell. You must be born again or burn for ever. It ia not what the preacher thinks about it but it is what God says about it. Church activities, substituted for Christianity will not help you a bit. It takes a com plete surrender to God and I am inviting you to walk down to the front and make this decision and take your stand .with those who are saved. In response to this in vitation a large number of men and women made a definite deci sion for Christ. Three Thousand Saved. One of the outstanding features of the revival is that the evange listic party has the names of slight ly more than 1,000 converts since the meeting began with over 2,000 re-consecrations, .making more than 3,000 men, women and chil dren reached during the Spencer campaign. It is difficult lor the secretaries to get all the names as great crowds flock to the altar at each service, though a dozen or more are making an effort to get all names, addresses and church preferences. It is expected that with more than another week of the best part of the meeting to fol. low that the number of conversions will reach 3,000 or more, with thousands yet to be re-consecrated, making a total far above the pop ulation of the town where the meeting is held. . Every train that reaches Spen cer brings persqns from a distance to attend the' meeting while thou sands come by motor from Rowan and adjoining counties. The influ ence of the meeting is reaching al most every part of the state as well as some other states. With almost every mail reaching Spencer Cyclone Mack receives a call to hold a meeting.

This arraignment was a mere formality, it is said, and District Attorney Brady ask ed for a continuance of the man slaughter case until action is tak en on the charge of first degree murder. The district attorney had announced that the murder charge would be pushed and it will be left up to a jury to decide whether Arbuckle is to be con victed of first degree murder, se: ond degree murder, manslaughter or turned free by acquittal. There was also one other alternative, which was that if the police court at the preliminary examination of Arbuckle failed -to hold the come dian to answer to the suDerior court charge of murder the state would be forced to go to trial on tne manslaughter indictment: Ac- 3uittai or conviction on the mur er charge means dismissal of the manslaughter charsre for the law holds that a man cannot be twice placed in jeopardy for one cause.
