Ingram's 3,000 Mile Walk Still Puzzles Historians Washington Few tales of epic journeys in early America are less known or more incred ible than that of the 3,000-mile walk of David Ingram. Ingram was an English sailor. In 1568, with some 100 others, he was put ashore on Mexico's Gulf coast. Thereupon, by his own telling, he and two compan ions made their way on foot to a point near present-day Saint John, New Brunswick, in Can ada. The account of this amazing and improbable feat, told to ex aminers in 1582, was published in 1589 by the great English geographer Richard Hakluyt. Later it was dismissed as sheer fabrication. Yet today many historians tend to accept In gram's story as based on a cer tain degree of fact. Stranded Crew History shows that about the beginning of October, 1568, more than 100 English seamen of the adventurer Sir John Haw kins went ashore near what is now Tampico, rather than starve afloat. A disastrous battle with the Spanish had left Hawkins' ship overloaded and short of food. Only five of these men ever returned to England. Of one group of 75 who chose to head south, Miles Philips and Job Hortop eventually escaped from Spanish servitude, after 14 and 23 years respectively. Three others David Ingram of Barking, Richard Browne, and Richard Twide were among a smaller number who set out "northward." Most were killed by Indians or'hardship. But 11 months later, i Ingram related, three of them had reached a river mouth 60 leagues west of "Cape Britton' Cake Breton Island, Nova Scotia. There they found a ship, the French Gargarine, captained by "M. Champaigne" (not Sam- uel Champlain, who was still a boy). By the end of 1569, they were back in England. When Queen Elizabeth's police chief, Sir Francis Walsingham, chanced upon Ingram and his ASC Ballots Musf Be In By Friday Ballots naming Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committeemen must be com pleted and mailed to the county ASC office before 5 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2, Talbert Sehorn, ASC com mittee head has announced.

Y PAYMENT PLAN fantastic tale, the illiterate old sailor had had 13 years to add fancy and nonsense to fact. But information about North Amer ica was what Walsingham want ed, and certainly it was a wide range of information that In-' gram gave him. Elephantt and Rubies His narrative, later dictated under careful examination, is filled with wild elaborations and contradictions. He tells of ele phants "twise as big as a Horse two teeth or homes of a foote , long ! growing straight foorth by their nosethrilles." He describes Indian kings wearing "rubies VI ynches long and 2 ynches broad," gold, silver, pearls, and people using iron tools in great villages all up and down the continent. Yet beneath much outright fiction, plus much that Ingram must have picked up from stories of Spanish America, lay a bed rock of possible truth. There was little doubt that he had been in America, that he did walk from Mexico to somewhere on the east coast. Ingram's description of buf falo, of large bays and rivers that had to be crossed, of "greate playnes and greate and huge woodes" are just what anyone Hints Given for Home Decorating New York (U.R) A woman's best friend frequently is her worst enemy when it comes to home decorating. So says Martha Beha, a pro fessional decorator who travels the nation, helping women solve their decor problems. She advised a woman to shut her ears to her neighbor's suggestions. "Tell her quietly but firmly to mind her own business," said Miss Beha. "Your home is your own . . . not one which she will occupy." would have seen walking across eastern North America in 1569. The three men most probably wandered along the Gulf coast, then north from Florida. They saw a "birde called a flaminge, whose feathers were very red and later what was plainly a great auk, now extinct. Ingram tells, most accurately, of "deare boath redde, white, and speckled." How much of what Ingram told Walsingham, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Sir George Peckham, and the younger Richard Hak luyt constituted sheer embroid ery, will never be completely known. English interest in America was at high pitch. . Gilbert was to sail and die in 1583 on an abortive exploring venture. His patent then went to Sir Walter Raleigh for a Virginia settle ment. Hakluyt included Ingram's narrative in the first edition of his "Principal Navigations," then dropped it (from the second edi tion for what he called "incred ibilities." Speed of March Ingram though that he had walked only about 2,000 miles, yet , it is closer to 3,000 from Tampico to Saint John by the most probable route. . Covering such a distance in 11 months means averaging more than eight miles a day, an almost impos sible clip considering the coun try as it was then. ' More probably, Ingram and his companions did not go as far north as they thought, or they took more than 11 months to do it. Yet there have been at tempts to show that Ingram must have crossed New England to describe what he did. If so, they would have traversed al most the length of the continent 39 years before the English set tlement of Jamestown, Va. It was not the first great over land walk in America. In 1519 Cortes marched into Mexico Panfilo de Narvaez, his rebel lious lieutenant, in 1528 traveled by land through northern lor ida, then tried haplessly to sail west in improvised boats to Spanish settlements in Mexico. Cabeza de Vaca, one of the sur vivors of the Narvaez party, wandered on through Texas and finally into Mexico. Then Hernando de Soto, his horsemen and train of Indian slaves, zigzagged from Florida to North Carolina and Tennes see, through Alabama and Mis sissippi, west into Arkansas and Louisiana, only to die on the Mississippi river. In the same years, 154U-41, Uoronado strucK north from Mexico as- far as Kansas. There the immensity of the continent turned him back.
