Evidence of Second
Robinson Crusoe Said
Found on Pacific Isle
London W British scien
tists in the Pacific for the recent
hydrogen bomb tests uncovered
traces of a second Robinson Cru
soe who lived on a desert island
more than 100 years ago, it was
disclose today.
Informed sources said high
ranking Royal Air Force officers
in London were studying a diary
found on a lonely U-shaped coral
atoll 200 miles from the site of
Britain's two hydrogen bomb
tests last month.
Shacklei Slipped
The diary, kept by a Scot nam
ed Adam McCulIoch, showed its
owner had decided to "slip the
shackles of civilization" and
head for '"the peace of a tropical
island" around 1850.
RAF men who landed on the
island to establish an observa
tion post found a number of ani
mals resembling pigs roaming
the island. Further inland they
found a rotting hut and signs of
past habitation.
In the hut itsejf was the diary,
hound in black leather, with the
name Adam McCulIoch on the
flyleaf. A careful search turned
up no trace of McCulloch's remains.
H
' Japanese navv men also anoar-
enly lived on the island during
World War II, Air Force sources
said. They landed from a raft
when their ship was sunk, lived
in McCulloch's hut for two
months and then sailed out
I again, leaving behind a written
! record of their adventures.
The real Robinson Crusoe, im
i mortalized in the novel by Dan-
iel Defoe, was a sailor who lived
I on an island for 27 years after
being snipwrecKea. ine dook
was based on the real life adven
tures of Alexander Selkirk, a
Scottish seaman marooned on
Juan Fernandez islet in the early
1700s.

Sailor Swims Nine
Hours in Pacific
Glasgow, Scotland W An
unsinkable British sailor with a
past record of falling into ponds
and rivers fell into the Pacific
ocean Tuesday and swam nine
hours before his ship returned to
pick him up.
The sailor was Douglas Ward
rop. second mate of the freighter
British Monarch. The ship's
owners reported today he fell
overboard when the ship was
1.000 miles out of Panama en
route to Japan and wasn't missed
until the ship had gone 100
miles.
His mother gave high praise
for the ship's captain for the
"miraculous" rescue and the
incredible navigation that re
turned the ship to the exact
spot. But she said it was nothing
new for Douglas.
Despite the delay, Capt. John
Coutts, 50, steered back to the
exact spot where Wardrop had
fallen overboard and found
him floating in the sea un
harmed despite the fact that the
area is notorious for sharks.

Animals Learn By Watching,
Scientists Beginning To Believe
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York 'IP Formal sci
ence is edging into agreement
with all the quite unscientific
people who believe dogs, cats,
horses and other animals can
learn to do things by watching
their fellows do them.
Much scientific experimenta
tion up to now indicated animals
learned only by trial and error.
These experiments failed to pro
duce any proof that animals
could also learn by observing.
For that reason the experi
ments of Russell M. Church of
Brown University have much in
terest, since they produce proof
that laboratory rats, at least,
transmit "learned b e h a v ior"
from one to the other.
Settings Unnatural
Church fell his results "en
courage speculation about the
possibleity of a non-purposive
transmission of culture among
animals." He granted laboratory
rats were not animals living na
turally in natural settings.
Nevertheless, he thought he
had uncovered "a mechanism
through which social transmis
sion of behavior could readily
occur." Human beings have such
"mechanisms." Unscientific ob
servers of animals believe ani
mals have them although they
could never prove it scientifical
ly. in outline. Church's experi
ments went this way. He had

a maze constructed in the shape
of the letter "T." At the ends
of the T's arms, were water
wells installed at floor level,
each with a lid which could be
lifted or closed by push button
from a distance. At the entrance
to the arms were lights which
couid be turned on or off.
Thirsty rats were introduced
into the maze at the foot of the
T. By trial and error, they learn
ed that if they turned into the
arm of the T in which a light
glowed, the well's lid would be
up and they could drink.

These rats became "leader"
One by one. they were returned
to the maze in the company of
untrained rats. It is well known
that rats readily learn to follow
leaders, but there is no proof

After the untrained rats had
followed the leaders to water,
the leaders were removed. The
untrained rats then quite on
their own went purposefully to
the well whose lid was open.
