ing seemed APPARENT however, as the
steamer started en- her voyage with
out delay. Mr.. Hay has been in poor
health for some time and the voya ge
upon which he started today was
planned to give him complete rest
and an opportunity to Pecuperate. The
secretary's plans include a stay of
about six weeks in southern Europe.
The secretary had come up from
Washington yesterday accompanied by
Mrs. Hay, his daughter, Mrs. James
W. Wadsworth, jr., Clarence Hay, his
son and Henry Adams, personal
friend. The whole party went sto the
steamer today. although only Mr.. and
Mrs. Hay and Mr.. Adams were to sail.
At the White Star dock there are
several flights of stairs leading to the
second floor, from which floor the
boarding of the steamer is made.
In going up these stairs Mr.. Hay had
to rest at each landing. Just as he
reached the top he reeled back but re-
covered himself and kept onS AS he
was about to start up the gang plank he
was seen to turn deathly white and
stagger and he would have fallen had
not his friend supported him. The sec
retary was assisted to heap of freight
piled up near the gang plank where he
sat down and waited until an inValid'S
chair was brought from the steamer.
He was then wheeled aboard the steam
er and went at once to his apartments.
1t was within a. few minutes of the
steamers sailing time when the secre-
tary went on board and it was believ-
ed that if his i'll turn was regarded as
particularly serious there would have
been some delay while physicians were
summoned.
AS she passed Sandy Hook the Cretic
displayed a, signal saying that Secretary
Hay was much better.
The Cretic is not equipped with wire
less telegraph and except for possible
signals to a passing vessel no word Of
the secretary's condition will be had
until she reaches the Azores, her first
stopping place
