"JOLLY COOKEKS'
Ey CHARLES GRENHAM,
International Illustrated Neu'a
Feature HVifcr
San Francisco Another mystery
has apparently been added to the
saga of the seven seas, writing finis
to the career of a most colorful
character.
Capt. Thomas Drake, 74-year-old
voyageur, has disappeared. Familiar
in most of the ports of the world,
which he roamed in solitary inde
pendence for the past 20 years, Drake
has made his last voyage.
Such is the opinion of coast guard
officials who have now given up an
eight-month search for the "ancient
mariner" or some trace of his tiny
boat. No trace has been uncovered
of him or his schooner since he sail
ed out of here last November, bound
for Hawaii and the south Pacific.
His .1 7-foot schooner. Progress,
li.ns apparently met with the fate of
hundreds of other ships and today
is resting in "Davey Jones' locker."
It may be that one of these days
Captain Drake will hove into port
somewhere in the Pacific, drop
anchor, and present himself as con
crete evidence that an old salt who
has been sailing the seas for 60
years cannot be disposed of by mere
rumor.
Grandson of Sir Francis
This doughty veteran comes by
his seafaring ways naturally. He is
a grandson of Sir Francis Drake, who
joined the immortals of history when
he defeated the Spanish armada. It
was Drake whose exploits on the
Spanish main established him as one
of the most daring mariners in his
tory. Thus it is, perhaps, that Capt.
Thomas Drake, his grandson, came
most rightfully by his place in mod
ern maritime history.
For the past 20 years, Captain
Drake has roamed the ocean, sail
ing nearly every seaway in the
world in his little 37-foot boat. He
estimated that he had covered more
than 26,000 miles. And always his
voyages were made alone. When
asked whether the solitude and im
mense expanses of open sea did not
make him lonely, he would shake
his head in emphatic fashion and
drop a word or two which vaguely
expressed the peace and friendliness
which he found in what Eugene
O'Neill described in "Anna Christie"
as "dat eld debbil sea."
Given Farewell Banquet
Just before Drake left port for
the last time, he was tendered a
party in his honor by the Richmond
Yacht club of San Francisco, of
which he was an honorary member.
Few probably realized that it was
really a farewell banquet a fare
well to one of the most picturesque
characters ever to be before the
tnast.
When he left on his long voyage
for Hawaii, Captain Drake carried
but enough provisions to last him
until he reached Honolulu. He in
tended to restock there and continue
his voyage further into the south
Pacific. -
It may be that he was taken far
off his course and will eventually
bob up in typical surprising fash
ion in some port far off the beaten
track. But it is more likely that
Capt. Thomas Drake, grandson of
the famous mariner of Elizabethan
days and voyageur extraordinary,
has made his last cruise.
The Jolly Cookers met at the home
of Deloies Gradoville July 1st. The
meeting was called to order by the
resident and the acting secretary
read the minutes and gave the roll
call.

ments for demonstrations and assign

All of them were judged. Shirley

first on muffins. Mary Jean Hatt and
Delores Ruse tied for first on cookies.
Helen Kruger received second on
muffins and cookies.
Mary Jean Hatt was appointed yell

The First Methodist church is be
ing greatly improved by the placing
of thick insulated tile on the walls
and ceiling of the main auditorium
and the Sunday school room to the.
west. j
This substance is insulated so that)
it will serve to retain the heat in the
building and also help to make it
much cooler in the summer season.
The lower portion of the walls are
finished in a very attractive wains
coting of lighter tile and which is
finished with an attractive tipping.
The main side walls are finished in
the two tone panels of the tile and
the ceiling is also in the large
squares of the same material.
The improvement will add greatly
to the sound effects of the church
and when completed will be found
a delightful addition to the equip
ment of the structure.
The cost of the improvement is be
ing borne by the ladies of the church.

Where Quality Counts
The Missouri river at this point
is taking a decided drop and still
while the main river ir, very high,
the waters that have overflowed on
the lowlands are receding and in a
few days will be back to normal. In
the wake of the overflow of the farm
lands there has been deposits of mud
and silt that will aid in filling up
the lowlands and add to the value of
the land in the future.
The reports of higher water at
points up the river have caused some
apprehension but with the present
high water receding it is not thought
that the regular June rise will cause
any serious high water.
Those v ho are farming in the low
lands are engaged in clearing up as
well as -possible the effects -of the
high water and preparing to resume
their work.
Rainfall during the past month,
4.94 inc hes. High for the month was
10 on the 24th. Nine days during
the past month had temperatures
above DO degrees. The low for the
month was 49 on the 9th.
In 1930. 1.11 inches of rainfall
were recorded. Temperatures reach
ed 10S on the 27th of the month and
a low of 47 was recorded on the 11th.
Eighteen days had temperatures
rising above 90 degrees.
June of 1935 was relatively cool.
A high of 96 was recorded on the
loth, with a low of 4 0 on the 7th.
6.S9 inches of rainfall were record
ed. As its opposite was June of 19.3 4
with eleven days recording temper
atures above 100 degrees. 2.59 inches
of rainfall were recorded during June
19C4 and a low temperature of 54
on the 12th.
The Cardinal Sewers met at the
home of Margaret and Miriam Fricke
on Wednesday, June 30 at 2 p. m.
The vice president called the meet
ing to order due to the absence of
the president. The secretary called
the roll and we answered by naming
some suitable slip material.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and stood approved.
A demonstration on machine fiat
fel and Sreneh seams were given by
Doris Jane Wiles and Mary Rishel.
Another demonstration was given
on measuring on pattern and pin
ning it on the material.
We discussed our team demonstra
tions at the close of the meeting. Ap-
i
Ipetizing refreshments were served
by the hostess.
The next meeting will be held at
the home of Dorothea Duxbury on
July 7th at 2 p. m.
