FLOATING MUSEUM The old British convict ship Suc- cess, said to be the oldest vessel still sailing the seas, is to be exhibited at Alexandria Bay next week in the course of its descent of the St. Law- rence, en route to Australia, where she will be converted into a perman- ent floating museum. Launched in Moulmein, British Burma, in 1790, the Success has enjoyed a varied car- eer, having been, after a period in the East India trade, for fifty years a convict ship plying between Great Britain and Australia; later a float- ing jail anchored off Melbourne; a boys' reformatory, and an ammuni- tion dump. In 1885 she was scuttled and lay under the waters of Sydney harbor for five years before being raised. Starting on a world tour as a floating museum in 1912, the Suc- cess reached North America under her own sail. Captain D, H. Smith, in command, expects to sail back to Australia after the vessel has been in drydock on the Atlantic coast. TOURISTS INJURED Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Dick, tourists, of Calgary, Alta, are in the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Kingston, suffering from serious injury as a result of a motor accident on the Gananaoque Highway, a few miles west of Gan- anoque, about eight o'clock on Thursday night. Their car was struck by another car going in the opposite direction and the driver of the car, Umbert Guerra, Schenectady, N.Y., was placed under arrest yester- day by Traffic Officer Percy Dowsley, charged with criminal negligence. According to the story told of the ac- cident, Mr. and Mrs. Dick were pro- ceeding west from Gananoque and when a few miles west of that town were side-struck by Guerra's car, in which were six others besides him- self. It is alleged that Guerra at- tempted to pass a car ahead of him but when he turned out, he saw the Dick car coming in the opposite dir- ection. He tried to swing behind the car in front of him but it is alleged that the car was travelling at such a high speed, that the car swung back again and struck the Dick car full in the side.
