IONDO-N, Sept. 2t — (GP) _. London‘; soviet Monitor said to- night there was a distinct possi- bility that Prime Minister Stalin had been misquoted by his own Government's Exiglish language translators.

In his statement today on for- eign policy Generaliasimo Stalin was quoted by the Moscow radio in English language broadcasts as saying that certain politicians u-ere using the spectre oi war to Rain concessions from "counter- agents." word "counter- egents" baffled diplomatic observ-

ers.

Tonigift the Soviet Monitor. the Soviet Government agency which Monitors and reports Mos- cow broadcasts, said the word in- tended probably was not "count- cr-egents" at all - but instead a word which has no exact- llne- lish translation.

The best English translation. the Soviet Monitor said. prcfbablg is “contraotolw-if that word considered in a broad sense. Thus

that translation is correct Premier Stalin said certain boil- tlcians were using (he $09015" 9i war to get concessions front Der- ecns or countries with whom they “contract”—.-or drai-

That could mean that in Gen. sterling pplnlon the United States was using the spectre of war t0 draw other countries into its or- bit economically and in a mili- tary sense and was llciflml ‘fade and military concessions which without a war ware would be withheld.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25 —'I'he look- out on the Nova Scotla harque De:- Gratla, 300 miles west_of Glhrnl- tar. spoke the tiny brigantme hc saw off the port bow. "Who are you?" asked the signal flags rais- ed on the Del Gratis

There was no reply-no acknow- ledgment, The brlgantrne reeled on, tinder almost full sail, as though hcr crew were incapable or asleep.

Chief Male Devon took a small boot crew and boarded the brig- antlne. In a few minutes he sig nailed excitedly to the Del Gratin. and Captain Boyce joi-ned nim in another small boat. Thus bugzm the mystery of the Mary Celeste, which has inspired fiction writers no less renowned than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and logicians, and amateur slcuths. but hover yet. 7i years later, has been

The Mary Celeste ls the most famous derelict iin maritime his- tory, which has written many less such cases on its books now than in the days of wooden sailing ships, before radio was invented. The abandonment of n modern 0-0 freighter like the American Farmer-even for a few hours- makes front page news, and the controversies arising out of sal- vage ambitions are fully exploit- ed day by day. But hack in the 1870's a vessel could be abandoned for weeks before anybody even began to yvomder where it vms.

In Perfect Condition

The Mary Celeste was iln per- fect condition. Mlnutest scrutiny never disclosed evidence of fire or threat of fire. strain or stress or passage through rough weather. mutiny or piracy or pestilence. No- body ever has learned why she was abandoned by her master, his wife and daughter and five- man crew; or how they got off; or where they went. or whet be- came of them.

The Mary Celeste was n Nova Scctle-bullt half-brig 98 feet long, 25 feet wide, of Doll-ton dend- weight-emaller than a present- day PC boat, Yet Captain Ilen- jamin B. Briggs didn't hesitate about taking his wife and seven- year-old daughter along when he set sail from New York, November 7. i812, carrying i700 bamels of alcohol to Genoa to fortify Ital- ian wince.

There are many differing ver- elcna as to exactly whet Chief Mate Devon did find aboard the

Mary Celeste. The consensus seems to be that everything was m per- fect condition except that there was no human being aboard.

She was under full sail except that her ic-p gallant yard was down on the cap and her gaff top-sail clawed do\vn, us though in Bi" tempt to shorten sail had been abandoned in ris midst.

All bunks were made neatly ex- cept that. a pillow in the captain's cabin showed the impress of his daughter's head. Remains of an almost-eaten break nst were on the table. The captains which hung above his bunk. His wife's scwmg machine was ln the mossroom. On the mate's desk was a halfwvrii- ion letter to "Funny, my dear wife."

Cargo Intact

There was plenty of food and water. Jewelry and valuable trink- lets, and the cash box, were un- touched. The alcohol cargo ap- peared intact. Hull and masts were undamaged. The seamen’s chests yvere dry afirl undamaged, under- clothing hung on a drying llne, razors weren't even rusted. I

It's up to you whether to be- lieve the most common version- that the ship's boat hung on its davlts unuilued and unswung-or that the yawl was gone and its davits swung out with dangling ropes, (The only other small craft. the long boat. had ‘been smashed when cargo was loading and never replaced.)

In any event, the Del Grails put a prize crew aboard, sailed the Mary Celeste to Gibraltar, and after two thorough investigations collected about $8500 prize money en the appraised value of $5700 for the brigantlne and $37,000 for her cargo.

At least two old men. years after. claimed to have been mem- bers of the Mary Celcstes crew and gave differing versions r what happened. both "of which were so flehy-apearing, on known facts. that they seem unworthy of re- getltiotn. Beyond that, there never

Long "Ghost" Voyage

The schooner W. L. White, for example, travelled 6800 miles in 310 days after she was abandoned in the blizzard of March. i888.

Perhaps the closest analogies to the American Farmer to be found in the literature of derelictswere the Britt-sh harque Ada Ire-dale, the Falls of Afton, and the iron ship Duncow,

The Ada Iredale was abandoned with coal ablaze. A French War- ship picked her up 241 days and 2500 miles later, lowed her to Tahiti, and she ‘yes repaired and sailed for years as the Annie Johnson out of San Francisco.

The Falls of Afton, abandoned en route from Glasgow tn Calcutta with a valuable cargo. was k- ed up a few days later by a h ship, taken to Madeira, and had a long, useful career thereafter. though her master did not fare well before a court of inquiry into her abandonment.

The Duncow, deserted when she grounded near Dunkirk, was float- ed by Belgian fishermen who col- lected salvage awards. Nine years later, carrying lumber from Puget Sound to Australia, she grounded again. was abandoned again by her crew, and once more was floated safely by salvagera who collected
