In thirty-odd years he has covered
I much of the old and new West. He's
] been a pearl-diver; he has played the
j piano In dance halls, has gone In for
j historical research, mining and cow
; punching. His wife calls him a domo*

The genuine diamond-back he says,
I (In answer to a query about the rattle
I snake that apj>ears in his story), Is
I found mostly In Arkansas and eastern
' Texns. The diamonds of the western
; rattler are not so clearly defined, nor
' Is that reptile so large. Colloquially,
: the term "diamond-back" Is also ap

New York, .Sept. -Some ~ placa
beneath the naiiic ofi (,'olumbus in the
marine* hall of fame, mu*t recorded
the name of Alain J? Gerbault, l.a
val, France, 1928. The 29-ycar-old
Fienfhman mailed into New York
Harbor this week in a thirty *foot sail
boat- the f\?'st man ever to cross the
Atlantic alone fli sueh a i mail wind

For I4ii day?, battling storm, hun

Alain .1. (Jorbault is a soldier of
fortune. When .two friends at Paris
xloubted his assertion thajt the Atlan
tic could be sailed by one man in ft ilO
fuot boat, he decided to show tlvni.
Gerbault is the fifth ranking tennis
player of Fiance and has contested
iii international matches, Ilucing the
war, as a Ffcnch aviator, he is credit
ed with bringing down Ihii German
planes. Only Alain and a broth r re

own a lime factory at Laval, France.
The brother is the business ijian.
'Just call me a sailor," said Ger
bault here this morning. "The sea is
my home ? and I'll soon be heading
out 'across the Pacific. Hazardous?
I don't think so. 'You always pull
through, somchofy, if yot!! handle your
boat like a sailor should."
Veteran mariners declare Gerbault' *
feat one of the most daring and
unique in the annals of the sea.
Ninety-seven days he was out of sight
of land, tossed about on mountainous
waves in a boat whose deck tipped
water when four men crowded onto
her after he docked here Monday.
Forty-eight hour* he lay sprawled
in the bunk of his tiny cabin, uncon

TWO .MEN KILLED.
.Marion Commander and William Mil
ler Meet Death in Wreck.
Florence, Sept. U8. ? Marion Com
mander. SO, a traveling salesman of
this place, and William Miller, 35,
who lives four miles in the country
from here, were killed here tonight
when a lightweight coupe in which
they were riding collided with a pile
of stone, in Dargan street, used for
thoroughfare construction. The car
mounted the stone, estimated to be a
dozen or more feet high, and was pre
cipitated against a telephone j)ole
and demolished.
Commander was instantly killed
and Miller died in a local hospital at
1 :30 o'clock this morning, just one
and one-half hours after the accident.
Commander is survived by his
widow and two brothers, Joseph and
Charles C. Commander, the latter a
prominent lawyer of Florence. At
tempts wore, being made 'to get in
touch with Miller's people in the coun
try this morning.
Information secured by The Item
this afternoon indicates that the Wil
liam Miller mentioned in a dispatch
in morning papers as having been
killed in an auto accident last night,
was the "Bill" Miller who formerly
lived in Sumter several years ago.
Miller had several friends in Sumter
who will hear with regret of his ac
cidental death.
L/ L. Lauer, Urban J. Cook and
Stephen M. Lee, who were killed and
six men who were injured in the ex
plosion at the bureau of standards in
Washington, Friday, had just com
pleted experiments that were expect
ed to save five hundred million gal
lons of gasoline annually* it has since
been learned. James E. Kendig, of
Salunga, Pa., died Saturday, bringing
the death list of the bureau of stand
ards explosion to four.
