MAY SOLVE STRANGE MYSTERY OF THE SEA Johannesburg, Nov. 12.
A few whitened skeletons in the desert, and the ribs of a wrecked ship's boat, are believed to be all that remains of the Danish sailing ship Kobenhaven.
With a complement of 60, in- cluding 45 cadets, the Kobenhaven left Buenos Aires in December, 1928, for Australin.
Eight days later she was sighted at sea. In January, 1929, B simillar ship was seen in distress off Tristan da Cunha, after which she completely vanished.
An expedition just returned from South-West Africa reports that, while trekking near the coast, 400 miles north of Swakopmund, it en- countered a skeleton, and Baven miles further on found six skeletons crouched behind a hillock. On the beach near by was the smashed half of a ship's lifeboat.
