It is reported that a sale is being negotiated of the Anchor Line, of Glasgow, or, to give it its full title, Anchor Line (Henderson Bros.), Ltd. In that bracketed name there remains a link with the past and with the four brothers who were foundors of the Line over eighty years ago.
The four-Hendersons, David, Thomas, John and William, In that order of their ages, came from the little village of Pittenweem, in Fifeshire, and all grew up in an atmosphere of sea and shipping, because, although fishing was the main industry, the little port also had a trade of coastal and deep-sea

All four boys began their sea- faring in very early life, and, be Cause in those days of the 1840's, skill, courage, and practical ex- perience counted for more than passing school examinations, the four rose to command their own vessels in their early twenties. David, the eldest, being a Master before he was twenty-one.
A shrewd business ability and knowledge of markets were also essential to the succeas of a ship Was the master then because it usual practice to leave to the Mns- ter the business of disposing of the cargo in a distant port, the choice of goods and the bargaining for torms of a homeward bound cargo. The brothers must have acquired some reputation in this direction alao to have brought the connection which led to founding the Line,
Two Glasgow citizen, Nicol and Robert, Handyside, had started, business in 1838 as shipbrokers and merchants, the bulk of their trade being with Russian and Baltie ports, possibly because Nicol at the time was Russian Consul in Gias gow. The firm owned no ships of their own and having decided, about 1852, it would pay them to do so, they had to bring in some man with practical knowledge and experience of this new side.

STONE AGE TRIBE

REMARKABLE LANGUAGE
A remarkable film was shown of the life of the Worora tribe in Northern Australla before the! Royal Anthropological Institute Inst week. The film, which was presented by the maker, Mr. II. R. Balfour, to the British Museum, was shown for the first time in England by the courtesy of the Trustees.
The tribe, about which very little-la-known on account of Its shyness and its wandering habits, in one of the most primitivo of those people protected by the wis dom of the Commonwealth Govern- ment from the "ravages" of the trader, and the ethnologist.
Actually its greatest dangor comes from the last category, for the excitement of witnessing a perfectly preserved Stone Age com. munity living its everyday life is apt to provoke an indiscretion which in the long run can only lead to self-consciousness on the part of the tribesmen. -

The Worora tribe inhabits the Kunmunya Reserve, between the Glenelg and Prince Regent Rivera' 1. the Kimberley district. It em-. braces about 240,000 acres, and since the total population of the tribe is not more than 350, it is obvious that there is every op. portunity for them to enjoy their nomadic and hunting life to the full.
