1- Mb 1 '3 1 1 DARING TRIP Mariner, in Small Open Boat, Going From Maine' to California; Through The Panama Canal Made The Port of Wilmington Saturday Afternoon. Bound on as daring and as novel, and perhaps, as perilous an expedition as a mariner has ever made, Capt. Mathias Johnson, a hardy seaman of Perth Amboy, N. but who now hails from Eastport, put Into port late Saturday afternoon. In brief, Capt.

Johnson is making a trip from the furthest rock on the east side to the one furthest on the west side of the bnited States, and is undertaking this expedition alone in a gig whaleboat. It Is something exceedingly hazardous fand is bound to win the admiration of those who like things daring. But it is not alone to do something exciting and unique that Capt. Johnson is bjund on this trip, but to create history. His trip will not be around the Horn, but through the Panama Canal and he wants to be one of the first to pass through the great body of water and master and crew of the first small boat to make such a trip.

He has no positive assurance that he will be permitted to be the first, but feels reasonably certain that the privilege will not be denied him of locking his small craft to theifirst boat that makes the passage. Capt. Johnson, who Is a clearcut appearing seaman, with a line of frank talk and; possessed of modest demeanor," decided upon his voyage some months ago. So he purchased the small boat and prepared her for the trip. On August 3rd (last August) backed by a fine letter of recommendation from Governor Johnstone, of Maine, he left Eastport and reached Southport several days ago.

Saturday he came up to Wilmington and planned to resume his trip today, stopping next, for the first big stop, at Charleston, then at Savannah. The wide. It is equipped both with sails and a gasoline engine, and, by the way, the Captain expects to use about 1'500 gallons of Sasoline on the trP It is a sturdy boat and is pretty in many respects, having, for one attraction, all seats of mahogany. There Is not a piece of iron about her; only copper and brass, even unto the nails She rides the heavy seas well and Captain Johnson says he feels as se "cure in her as on board an ocean liner. However, he has not encountered inuch rough weather as yet, and asjto thrilling experiences, well, said the peaman with a smile: 'Nothing doing so far.

Everything lias been clear sailing. This red-fire business is mostly in story booysj take it from me." However, Capt. Johnson had the distinction of recovering the torpedo that got astray a short while ago from 'Admiral Badger's fleet. While out at a rapid clip on the sea ho sighted the missing projectile off Cape Charles and carried it to the fleet. The name of Capt.

Johnson's boat is the "George Washington" and thereby hangs a tale, quite a pretty and appropriate bit of sentiment. The mariner mans to reach Panama a week ahead of the opening of the Ca nal, and wants to make the passage on New Year's Day, 1914, and sail mto the Golden Gate on February 22. George Washington's birthday anniversary. Then going to the furthest point rock on the Pacific coast, Captain Johnson will return to 'Frisco to participate in the Panama Exposition. The present speed of the George Washington is seven knots an hour, but if a new and more powerful gasoline, engine is added, as the Captain expects when he reaches Florida waters, the speed will be increased to 12 knots.

However, he is not hurrying, as he has ample time. The engine aboard now is a three horse-power. "Do you sleep at night while on the ocean?" the Dispatch man inquired. "To be sure," answer the Captain. ''I just anchor the boat, roll up in these big blankets you see there and have a fine night's rest." Captain Johnson has been twenty-one years a seaman and has sailed over the world.

He has been in the Government service and was once a member of the crew of a Government supply ship that used. to make this The last time here was just after the riot of 1898, and Captain Johnson recalled the situation then very vividly and with much interest. In all Capt. Johnson's trip will cover about seven-thousand miles. November First New series Co-operative Building and Loan Association opens at Wright's Real Estate office.

If enough of our farmers, would plant peanuts to justify the purchase of hullers to do the picking! it would beat sweet potatoes as a profit-making crop. Why do not some of our farmers try Lenoir News. Some of the finest apples we have ever seep, are now making their appearance, on the local markets and many are being shipped to outside markets. The apples are not only fine in appearance, but are equally so In In fact, they are the top notch and command a good price where apples are not grown. Kinstcn Free Press Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, grouped on the green at the courthouse with the building as a background, 17 convicts sentenced at the term of Superior court now under going, were photographed at the in stance of the county authorities.

The group was an interesting study for number of people who witnessed the picture-making. All of the convicts were colored men and of a variety of classes, some smued, otners were melancholy, and a few entirely indif ferent. The by-standers discusse their individual choices of the best and the worst of them; and one fellow who aroused a deal of sympathy was a typical black who will do 30 days for assault with a deadly weapon and about 60 more because he is unable to pay the costs. He appeared un able to comprehend the procedure and his simplicity and expressionless face won for him the popular verdict that he was mentally irresponsible. The prisoners were taken to the coun try camp after being photographed.
