Search For Long-Lost Civilisation

He will not come back, in his own house is empty, and his professorship for many summers." His at London University has been hand ed over to another.
At 81 this amazing man with the twinking, restless, ever-active eyes ia snow-white hair and beard and the

More than 50 years ago he was an experienced explorer, but as he talked reporter yesterday his eyes

A Fortunate Seaman
Congratulated on the fact that he has never lost a ship or a man, he observed: "Well, I must be one of God's fortunate seamen; never aground, never in trouble, and never lost a man, even in the war," He spoke of one narrow escape, however, when an enemy torpedo passed under the stern of his ship. "We just managed to dodge that one," he said.
Discussing the value of scientific appliances to the mariner, Cap tain Latta said he still relied upon his nose to warn him of the near- ness of ice. To-day we feel so safe that we do not care much whether we can see the sun, moon or stars," he observed. "Marconi has worked wonders for us, and
the greatest aid is the direction Ander, which is invaluable in the
St. Lawrence trade.
"But as to presence of ice, I still rely upon my nose to tell me when it is about. If you will pay atten- tion to what the weather is telling you, your nose will do the rest.”
Captain Latta recalled that the Prince of Wales was his most fam-
