aiding powers, have made an official
report regarding the transfer and con-

Kestaurador had sacked her in ruin
GUS manner They carried of silver
ware, covers, curtains. electric light
globes. kitchen utensils and even cop

ship was scandalous.'
German officials declare that the
charge Of the Venezuelan officials is

the Restaurador and had left l50 tons
Of coal on board of her without asking

word that their parents were dying in

alton OF the Minto they expressed a de-
termination 10 start out for the main
land on foot. Another young woman
and four young men also were willing
10 Join In the undertaking.
The party left the steamer shortly
before noon Monday. The suns rays
on the ice proved almost binding. and
after the party struggled along for
some time. one OF the young
men sank down from exhaustion. The
remainder of the distance. however.
was finally covered. although the young
women were constantly obliged to as
slst the exhausted men. They reached
the island at o'clock In the evening.
After passing the night on the island
the remainder OF the journey was made
to the mainland Tuesday, where the
Boston women caught the train. The
members Of the party belonging to st.
John reached here today greatly ex-
hausted.
After remaining on the ice IS hours
the Minto managed 10 work herself free.
She then ran over to assist her sister
ship, the Stanley. which has been Inn
prIsoned in the Ice foes for over six
weeks. and managed to put 40 tons OF
coal on board. The Mimic has arrived
at Georgetown. Prince Edward Island.
