Nelson A. Crocker, lord and master of Captain Crocker ashore, is her first mate •float. Mrs. Crocker has sailed all the seas of the world with her husband since tihey were married, 19 years ago. « Two Merchant Ships Believed Sunk by Old Mines A despatch from Hamburg says: â€" Instruments of the war, harmless for years, are believed to have found vic- tims at last in two merchant ships in the North Sea.

Mines have been brought to the surface during recent violent storms' In the North and Baltic seas. A num- , ber have been picked up and exploded to assist in the breaking up ot huge ice fields in landlocked coastal waters. | HOW THE DIXMUDE MET 1T3 FATE The great dirigible airship, the Dlxmude, which with a French crew o£ I half a hundred, has disappeared mysteriously, ia now believed to have been j struck by lightning, far above the clouds, during a terrific storm over Africa. Romance and tragedy mingle in the story ot the airship, which was surren- dered by Germany, and applied by BYance for her own use. Defying tha elements cf the air, it started off on a long cruise, and except (or the finding of the body of its commander there la no trace of the missing ship.
