WINTEff CRUISE WAS HftttV BY STORM; MdSpleamnttime 1. ,v Stiormibound for five aays in one of the worst spots on the whole Atlantic coast. Mr. Dempsey Wood returned late in the past week from a cruise through Pamlico sound, which was not a very pleasant one. Mr. Wood and others of a small' party left to make a visit to each of the East Ca rolina sounds on a small yacht. They were off Ocracoke, in Pamlico sound, last Monday when a heavy gale struck their little ship. There was no chance of making the passage through the sound in the weather, and the yacht was anchored right at the ; '.trance to Portsmouth inlet, a short, shallow and very narrow passage. very seldom used as a ship channel because of its treacherousness. The anchor held; had it not, with the wind from the quarter it was most of the time, the little vessel would havo been 'blown to sea or stranded, with a still less chance of weathering the tempest, in the inlet. Thursday the gale abated, but the Seas continued . so high and the current so strong that it was not until Friday that the crew could take up anchor and leave the place. There was no suffering on board. The yacht was quite com fortable and well provisioned, but frequently there were tense moments when "most anything could have happened." The anchor was the means oi salvation, all right.

Historic Scenes in Old New England C fM n HAni FY ULu nAULLI Old Hadlcy, a beautiful Ifew England town, situated upon the east bank of the Connecticut River some twenty miles north of Springfield, Mass., was a 'center of great activity during the stirring days of King Philip's Indian wars. On Sept l, 1G75, while at worship in the village meeting house, the inhabitants of Old Iladley were surprised by an attack upon their settlement by a horde of Indians. Abandoning worship, they seized their arms and rushed out to defend their homes, but the suddenness of the attack found them utterly demoralized.- When the confusion was zt its height there suddenly appeared in their midst an unknown man of grave and elderly bearing, who at onco took coin wand of the situation, imid orders, rallied the defenders and in short order routed the redskins from 'the town. Tlftn, as sud- j denly as he had appeared, did the stranger effect his removal from the scene, and his identity for many years rojnamea s comparnuve nivMury. ; It was later established that the deliverer of Hadley was General William Coffe, one of the three living regicides of Charles I. and for whose head a liberal bounty wdl offered. After years of pursuit from place to flace he' found safe-hiding tinder the hospitable roof of fastor John Eussel of the Old .Hadley congregation t is believed that after his spectacular deliverance of the Iladley scttlera he remained Btill undiscovered ia the Knssel household, until his death tome five years.later. - ' A beautiful state road winding up the Connecticut valley takes thousands of autoisfg each year directly by the spot where General" Goffe rallied the inhabitants of Old Iladley to the defense of their homes.

Teuton Lea4er Says Presi dent 'May ee Opportun ity' for Peace GETTING CLOSER TO END Cessation of Hostilities May Come Soon, Apponi's Be liefWilson Not Idea' But Doesn't Want Take Chance With Hughes By CARL W. ACKERMAN. (United Press Staff Correspondenl) Berlin, Via Sayvilla Wireless.) Nov. 18. Campaign worries off his mlad, his election assured, President Wilson, "may pl-ove an altogether different President an$ see his pr- lortuilty, when the moment arrives. to holip oditain' peace in Europe." So declared Count ApponyJ, one of the most prominent of Hungarian leaders and a world-figure before the war in the peace by arbitration movement, on his arrival here to day from Budapest to speak at a spe cial meeting of the Reichstag. He declared peace, "was getting nearer. "I'm sure it's on Us way," he said. And he added with a happy smile "I don't mean peace will come oe$t (Continued from page 2 ) wook, or next month or within two months even. I am only certain that the foundations for peace are now Kding laid. "If ymf wlu compare the speeches of Chancellor Von Beth- mannHoUweg and Earl Grey, made at the beginning of the war, with what they have eaid, recently, you, wiy see that the two chief belligerents re getting on closer ground. They are still wide apart but they are ap proachlng a common ground. And why not ? All we ask is security. W ask nothing but to be permitted to live and develop in peace. We ask that kind of peace which the people of all civilized nations want the Deaceful opportunity to live and ax- !r,t happily as a nation." "Ia this 'common ground' the de- Ire of all nations to have internation al agreements which will keep peace?" the Count was asked. "Yes," He answered, "the peace which closes this war must be a paace which guarantees future world peace if such peace can be, and I don't know why not. Then all this horrible bloodshed will not be in vin for futura generations." "But. does Ensrland want peace?" "There are peace "parties in all countries lEnirlanri, France, Russia. Of course, there is a strong war par ty in England and France. Aa long as this party hopes to parcel out. Au stria-Hungary and Turkey to the Al lies, there can be no peace, but when it is realized we cannot be crushed or divided, even this party will hava to make peace. We are not conduct njr this war as a war of conquest but sora of the Allies are." Count Apponyi paused and de manded: "But tell me. wno was elected President of the United States?" The interviewer said latest reports indi cated Wilson. "I hope it is Wilson." Count Ap ponyi responded. "We know Wil son. I might say we could be . no worse off with him but we know nothing about Hughes." "Do you think Wilson could do something now to help bring the bel ligerents together?" he waa asked. "I think it Wilson a elected, and ha no longer had the worries of , tbo campaign, he may prove an altogeth er different President the Count re plied."! think he will see the op portunity when the moment arrives.
