THE EAST HAMPTON STAR. THURSDAY. MAY 7. 1942
Along Long IslandBy CHARLES J. MeDERMOTT JR..
Circassian Ahoy! ■Miss Gertrude Hildreth of Sea
Cliff contributed a quiz to this column recently and practically everybody down in ISuffolk County decided to send in the answers. The first question drew the greatest response. It was:
"With what Long Island tragedy the “Circassian associated?"Well, for the benefit of you Long
Islanders who think that the Cir- m is a gun carriage here is what
the readers tell us about it Harry B. Squir»s of Bridgehampton says:
"The Circassian shipwreck of December 29-30, 1876, is associated with the loss of ten Shinnecock Indians, probably the last full blooded males of the tribe. They were em- i ployed by the wrecking company which tried to save the ship but without success as she broke in
ie bar during a terrific gale about two miles south of where I live. All the Indians perished so this great disaster ended the power of
tribe.’ lease tell Miss Hildreth I have
... . different photos of the Circassian in my collection of Long Island shipwreck photos, probably the larg- gest collection of its kind in exis-
"The hull of the historic Circas- in was seen a few years ago and
possibly may be visible today when cean is clear and when one can it in a small boat. She was an
iron hulled ship, served on both sides e Civil War and once carried
many cannon. There is a man still living here who worked on board the ship for the wrecking company. He is probably the only living person who saw and was on board her.
Mr. Squires goes on to tell of all ie material he has concerning, the
wreck and:ost interesting of all is the sur
vivors' story as given to the Sag Harbor Express and Corrector reporters. The four survivors drifted through the bitter cold ocean on a life-buoy and were finally saved. One, however, was so far gone he said when he was revived that he wished that they had not saved him! There was no beach that night as the waves broke against the dunes and deep water covered the beach for many hours.
lero are many relics from this at Clinton Academy in East
Hampton.'My photos may be seen by those
interested on Sundays."Well, Mr. Squires, you win a sub
scription to the Long Island Forum and we hope to see you some Sunday after June 15.Russella J. Hazard of Sag Harbor lists the names of the ' idians lost on the Circassian. Ten
i number, their names were:Warren Cuffee, David Bum, Wil
liam Cuffec, Franklin Bum, Lewis Walker, Russell Bum, Robert Lee, George Cuffee, Oliver Kellis, John Walker.
Space doesn't permit the quoting of other answers to other questions and by other people but we wish tb add the name of Alice G. Edwards
e two quizzers already mentioned. Mrs. Edwards knows her Long Island too.
We'll wait 'til next week to publish another quiz and meanwhile if you want to win a subscription to the Forum send us ten questions
.h answers. The best set of quests received each week win a sub- iption to the Forum.

East Hampton Star
;—You should read it, McD.)We hear—and await confirmation
fact that Arthur (Confidentially Yours) Hale lives at Sea Cliff. Kathleen Norris
:e wrote us that she and the Benets and Sinclair Lewis all made
literary group at Port V. ington. Just the other day wt ceived a most informative letter from Harry Maule of Random House
ing us of Sinclair Lewis' dence.
'Mr. Lewis lived at Port Washing- c for possibly two or three years, 1 I should think more like one ir around 1914 or 1915. He was at
that time editor and publicity director of the old George H. Doran Company and was doing a full time job of publishing work. I cannot be of the precise year, but it was during the fall and winter of the great woman suffrage campaign for which Mr. Lewis made several speeches on Long Island, and for which his first wife, Grace Hegger Lewis, wa active worker.
‘I cannot tell from memory what wrote at the time when he lived Port Washington. He may have
written some of his first novel OUR MR. WREN, which was published in 1914, or possibly his second book, THE TRAIL OF THE HAWK, which ras published in 1915. MAIN
STREET was not published until 1920."
Thanks, Mr. Maule.A Pome

Civil War SongThe popular Civil war song,
“ When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again” -had in it that spark of universal appeal that caused it to be adopted in many European countries, so that at the time it rode the crest of its favor, it was an international hit
The authorship of this song is generally credited to Patrick S. Gilmore, better known under his nome de plume of Louis Lambert.
A great bandmaster, and projector of the Boston Peace Jubilee of 1869, and 1872, Gilmore also wrote other songs, particularly the war song, "Good News From Home"; but it was the rousing refrain of “ When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again.” published in 1863, that made his name a byword both in the United States and abroad.
A Tribute to MotherBy DOROTHY QUICK
Like the beacon light in a window : the end of a long, dark, lonely lad, there is always light for dark- ;ss, good for evil, humanity for
humanity. It is these mitigating ings that make traversing the road >rth while, compensating for the
long trek through the darkness toward the light; and among them there is nothing more wonderful or more inspiring than the love of our mothers for us and our love for
As the time draws near whei will be celebrating Mother's Day it seems to me that we should all tribute with words and deeds to mothers. We do it constantly in hearts but that is not enough. We should remember that what make of ourselves is the real tribute to our mothers, for we are thi suit of their love, understanding and devotion. We should build lives to be monuments to them, and we should daily express our affection and appreciation, let them know the depth of our love.
Just a flower on Mother's Day is not enough. Never hesitate to put into words what you feel for the author of your being. It makes foi greater happiness. Far, far too often we leave unexpressed or taker granted sentiments that should be shared. The spoken word has power and no one knows how much means to have a thought expressed in words that can be treasured. Vou know yop think your mother is the
wonderful person in the world,
but does she know it, with the tainty that your saying it or writing
will give her?So often we keep the things we
feel the deepest about to ourselves, not realizing the joy they would
if they were shared. That is in all relations, the words of
approbation to a servant, praise to friend, confirmation of affection d trust to a loved one. They all
make life better living and thousandfold more so to the mother who expects nothing and is so
I speak feelingly on the subject being fortunate in having possessed the most wonderful of mothers, whose love and understanding always has been and always will be my beacon light. I repeat these line which I wrote for her long ago an which she loved as my particular tribute to my mother on Mother-! Day.
To Mother If I could take the roses of a June, Distil their fragrance into magi(
Containing the bright glory of high
And sweetest notes of all the singing birds.
Then capture gleaming star-dust from the skies
To weave in sentences pristinely
With words like these and God to make me wise
I could write verses worthier of you.—Dorothy Quick

"Adam and Fallen Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, May 10.
The Golden Text is: "O Israel, re- im unto the Lord thy God; for thou
hast fallen by thine iniquity” (Hosea 14: 1).
Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “For thus
saith the Lord God; Behold, I,I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out . . . I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was . . . And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd” (Ezekiel 34:11, 16, 23).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following selections from textbook of Christian Science. "Science and Health with Ke the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Paul says in his epistle to Romans: ‘The carnal mind is mity against God; for it is not s ject to the law of God, neither deed can be. So then they that in flesh cannot please God . . .' There will be greater mental opposition to the spiritual, scientific meaning of the Scriptures than there has ever been since the Christian era began. . . . The real man being linked by Science to his Maker, mortals need only turn from sin and lose sight of mortal selfhood to find Christ, the real man and his relation to God, and to recognize the divine ship” (pp. 534, 316).
Mosquito Virus CausesSleeping Sickness Death
More than 3,000 cases of human sleeping sickness with upward of 300 deaths in 1941 are reported by the United States Public Health service. The particular species of mosquito transmitting the virus to humans is widespread in states west of the Mississippi. So, just as the southeastern states are battling mosquitoes to curb malaria, the West must fight them to prevent the further spread of sleeping sickness (encephalitis' A few cases have been reported this area. In the Yakima valley Washington 27 humans and 50 horses had sleeping sickness last year. Sleeping sickness usually is associated, for some unknown reason, with sporadic cases of infantile paralysis. And sleeping sickness, itself, frequently leaves its mark for life on the minds and bodies of its victims. The only sure way to avoid the disease is to keep from being bitten by mosquitoes.
Proof that mosquitoes, under natural conditions, transmit the disease, has been provided by University of California scientists. Over 10,000 mosquitoes were frozen and shipped in dry ice from the Yakima valley to the university's San Francisco laboratories. Sleeping sickness vaccination for humans is not yet practi-
