Passengers Jump Into Water.

Passengers jumped from the decks
into the water; women screamed and
officers and men called orders that
could hardly be heard above the din.
The passengers of the Dix who could
swim made their way to the sides of
the JEANNE and were dragged aboard.
The JEANNE was not moved until after
all who had reached her had been
hauled aboard. Then she cruised about,
picking up several who had managed
to stay above water. 1t was after 10
O'Clock before the JEANNE left the
scene of the catastrophe and steamed
to the Virginia street dock, Seattle,
with her SO survivors.

of the educators enthusiasm is the ex-
