The Merlin and another Brit ish frigate, the Augusta, blew up when fire, started by hot cannon-shot from old Fort Mer cer and Fort Nassau on the New Jersey shore, touched off their magazines. During the last century, it was believed that the Augusta car ried the gold which Admiral Howe was bringing to Philadel phia to pay the troops who oc cupied the city after the battle of Germantown. But, Dr. Francis related, in 1876 the Augusta was raised and no gold was found. That left the Merlin. Nearly 100 bottles of the wine were recovered. Some members of the crew possibly in a spirit of historical research sampled it and declared it had an ex cellent taste. Popular Announcer Here for Rodeo Busiest man this side of the Platte river until snow flies is Eldon Frock, North Hollywood- lan, who is here to announce the sixth annual Klamath Buckaroo days. Frock is not new to Klamath rodeo fans as he MC'ed the show here two years ago. But from now on that man's busy. He'll announce the state fair in Salem this coming September and will sandwich in the Santa Barbara horse show, the Pasadena horse show, several fairs in Washing ton including the state blow-out, and from there he flies to Dallas, Tex., to handle the biggest rodeo and fair in the south. Not only does Frock know his cowhands, but he understands just what they are expected to do and what they do do. In this way he keeps the uninitiated in formed as to arena events and the intricate details of profes sional riding, roping and dog ging. If you want to enjoy the show 100 per cent, keep your ears open for Frock.
