Tragedy Lurked In A Staunch Topsail The 40-year-old brigantine ,A1- baiross was wearing 75 per cent of 'her sail, including topsail on her square-rigged foremast. She was sailing almost due east from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula for Nassau, the Bahamas, and mak- ing perhaps 6 knots in a light wind and gentle sea. Her posi- tion in the Gulf of Mexico was 125 miles west of the Dry Tor- tugas; 190 miles due west of Key West, Fla. It was 9 o'clock in the morning, and. while light- ning flicked from ominous skies and occasional rain splatted on the teak decks and steel hull, the reassuring aroma of cooking breakfast wafted topside from the galley. David (Tod) John- stone, 17, was at the wheel, with the skipper, Christopher Shel- don, close at hand. The Alba- tross was a "floating classroom"; her crew was almost entirely made up of teachers and pupils. Now eleven persons were on deck; eight below. When the squall struck, it struck with such sudden, savage, fury that there was no time to act. It caught the high-flying topsail full on and toppled the Albatross on her starboard side like a bathtub toy, hurling those above deck into the sea. Her steel hull filled, the Albatross went down in 60 seconds. Six of her company went down with her. After 24 hours of tossing in lifeboats on the stormy Gi.,lf, the thirteen survivors were res- cued by a merchant ship, and the grim tale of irony and tra- gedy began to unfold. Among the more bitter ironies: The survivors owed their lives to the fact that the Albatross' lifeboats bobbed up front the sinking vessel, They 'had been secured only by old line, which gave against their buoyancy as the 93-ton ship went down. As a traditional safety pre- caution, the topsail was the old- est canvas in the ship's suit — purposely selected to give way under such wind pressures. It held firm, Christopher Sheldon bought the Albatross in 1959 (and regis- tered her under the Panaman- ian flag). A sailoresince he was 15, Sheldon — now 34 — realized his dream, a sailing prep school. With fourteen teen-aged stu- dents signed up (at $3,250 each), and with his wife, Dr. Alice Sheldon, 30, a physician, t w o other teachers and himself as faculty (Sheldon also holds a PhD.), he set sail from Ber- muda in October for an eight- month school cruise to the Gala- pagos Islands, planning to return to Mystic; Conn., on May 28. On this fateful, final cruise, the Al- batross carried only one licensed seaman, George Ptanacik, the cook, who went down With the ship, Sheldon's first mate was one of his students, 15-year-old William Bunting, son of presi- dent Mary I, Buntieg of Rad- cliffe College, If the vessel had been regis- tered under the I.LS. flag she Would have needed a licensed skipper; Mate, and an engineer — which would have sent the cost of operating her (as It S. maritime operators' know) sky- high. hitneelf said: "What we had was a sort of apprentice system, which has eitisted for centuries, mostly in Europe, Where boys pay to sail and learn the Sea, We Were aetti, ally a tutoring service; with up- Prentice SetiMem I did riot think Of the boys as passengers, but as ereW," Whatever the basic cause of the tragedy, Sheldon got nel telliairititien4 he had suffered nil CtWit lOSS..Orie of the victims Weis tit, Alice 8heid6ni his Wife'.

Or were they recovered and stolen? This 745, year-old mystery may be solved any day now for a tenni of treasure - seekers, believe they have found the spot where the gems lie buried. Pigging is expected to start soon near the five-mile causeway which links the Norfolk village of Walpole St. Andrew and Long Sutton, in South Lincolnshire. It was on this causeway that King John's treesurealaden bag- gage train was swamped by a tidal wave, horses and riders were drowned and the Crown Jewels vanished, Some historians claim that the royal heirlooms were not lost but were recovered and stolen. But Dr, Q, F, Tagg, an elec- trical engineer, believes that the treasure is still there. He and his team began searching four years ago. Undismayed by false alarms and barren clues they worked on. According to - legend, even greater treasure lies buried in the bed of the River Busento, in Southern Italy, Within a five- mile stretch, say experts, Alaric king of the Goths, was buried secretly, with all the gold and jewellery he had accumulated in conquering Greece and Italy. Having ravaged Rome in 410, be died a year later and was committed to this river - bed grave. Strictest secrecy was ob- served to ensure that no Romans ransacked his remains to get at the treasure, Even the slaves who buried him were afterwards killed. Now the. Lerici Foundation, backed by a $100,000 research fund, has invited prominent scientists and archaeologists to recover the treasure. The King of Sweden, who is a keen ar- chaeologist, is expected to help this ambitious project. Apart from these major pro- jects, there is always a possibili- ty of treasure being unearthed whenever new land is ploughed or excavations are made for new buildings. In Britain finders now receive from the Treasury a cheque based on the article's market or bullion value, plus its archaeo- logical worth. Similar rules apply behind the Iron Curtain. In Hungary two men working on a new factory site near Szony unearthed an old jug. Picking it up, they poured out a stream of Roman coins — 118 in all.

PONIES FOR SALE Ike And Dick Sound Like Fore Losers Maybe They Did It Ins. The Winter The most famous, and most enigmatic, monument of English prehistory is Stonehenge -- the massive time-worn stone blocks set in concentric circles -- which was erected 3,400 years ago on the verdant Salisbury Plain, Many of the rectangular sand- stone blocks (called sarsens) and the smaller bluestones have top- pled by now, but the questions they raise haven't, Anthropolo- gists and historians still argue about the builders, history, and reasons behind the Stonehenge project. Some cite the cremated human remains found buried there as evidence of Stone- henge's use f or ritual sepul- chers; others point out that the massive stones line up with the position of the sun at summer solstice, suggesting that' Stone- henge was a center for sun wor- ship by Bronze Age Britons. Beyond these profound cul- tural questions, there is another, relatively in undane puzzler: How did these primitive people manage to lug 81 sarsens, rang- ing up to 100,000 pounds each, all the way from the nearest sandstone quarry to the building site 21 miles away before the benefits of the wheel or the beast of burden had been dis- covered? In the current issue of the journal Science, Canadian geo- logist Patrick Arthur Hill at- tacks this weighty prOblem, On a field trip through the Salis- bury Plain three years ago, Hill did what the ancient builders must have done in 1500 B.C.: He searched Mr the easiest and shortest course, and found one that was, downhill all the way except for a gentle rise during the first 3 miles. As for the means of transpor- tation, Hill writes, most earlier studies have cited a combina- tion of log rollers, sledges, and the blood, sweat, and tears of at least 100 men per stone,. Hill suggests there is an easier way than dragging the stones across the bare slopes — namely, drag- ging them across the ice. "On ice," Hill suggests, "the sarsens could have been moved by a comparatively small num- ber of men using sledges, One man can move a 2-ton Eskimo komatik (sledge), so 25 men could move the largest, 50-ton sarsen, The best combination of snow and ice for heavy-duty transportation would be 'ice roads' made from packed snow by the repeated passages of sledges or by the spraying or spilling of water .. , (With such a surface), each stone could have been moved .. at a slow walking pace, and its total time in transit could well have been less than a week," Hill's theory has one bit of logic on its side. Winter would have been a better time for such labours than summer. In the summer, the local hands would surely have been working in the fields and Project Stone- henge would have been just the thing to while away the long winter months before planting time rolled around again, Look around and you will notice it's the time of year when Millions of pounds of bird seed are scattered around sub- urban horries.

COINS Suppose there had been no 22nd amendment, Would former president Dwight D. Eisenhower have run for a third term? Ike raises the , question himself in the Saturday Evening Post, and answers it somewhat hedgingly. 'Lacking a crystal ball, he would have said no; h.e was happily confident of turning over the reins to Richard Nixon. But, Ike asks himself, what if he had foreseen Nixon's defeat? How then would he have answered the hypothetical third-term question? "I think ,I know — but how can 1 be absolutely sure? I do not see what more one can say than que sera, sera." Whatever that answer meant, it hardly added up to a huzza for President John F. Kennedy — who, incidentally, is never men- tioned by name in the first in- stallment of the Eisenhower memoirs; Ike refers only to "my successor," "the 'President-elect," and "the new President." * In dark blue suit and heavy make-up for the bank of televi- sion cameras, Richard Nixon toyed with a Salisbury steak, signed autographs, smiled and chatted with his neighbours, oc- casionally studied the manu- script of his prepared speech. The grand ballroom of Chicago's Conrad Hilton Hotel buzzed with the table talk of 2,200 lunchers. Just below the long speaker's rostrum, the press was out in force, It might have been the autumn of 1960 all over again. But it was only at the recent meeting of the Chicago Executive Club and Nixon, as he hastened to remind his audience, was not running for 'anything. "I shall speak as a private citizen," he said, "saying those things I be- lieve are in the best interests Of the nation without presuming to claim that my views repre- sent those of my party. or of the Administration of which I was a member." For the next twenty minutes, interrupted 21 times by rousing applause, the former Vice.

He also compared Repub- lican reaction to the Cuban fias- co with Democratic criticism that followed the. U-2 incident — to the detriment of the Democrats. That evening, in another twenty-minute address to more than 5,000 at a rally of the Re- publican Citizens League of Il- linois, Nixon waxed perceptibly tougher. His daughter Julie, he told the .Republicans, wouldn't go to the inauguration of Presi- dent Kennedy last January be- cause, she -laid, "if they had counted the votes right we would have won." (It was in Chicago, of course, that the Republicans charge that the election was stolen,) "I am against stealing," Nixon went on, "and I am sure that every Republican and De- mocrat in the country feels the same way." As for Mr. Kennedy, he said ; "the first 100 days — there 'has been a record set in these hitt 100 days of mare words and more scarcity of deeds than at any time, in the history of our country," — From NEWSWEEK.
