The first words on shore by Frau Schraeder were: "Oh, we are so hun gry." Relating her experiences. Frau schrader said:
 hours we passed while watching with our hearts. I might say, the efforts of the crews of the lifeboat. and the tugs, to snatch us from the jaws of death. Thursday night our anguish reached It's height. Then the gale seemed nercer than ever. Mountainous. death-cold. pillows broke over the ship every min- ute and the dense blinding blizzard hit the comforting lights of the port At about half past i've in the morning. we heard the sound of an incoming steamer. and Frauiein Buttel. in frenzy of despair, shouted to the howl ing winds: We are here Whenever we saw or heard a passing craft we shouted. fearing lest the people on shore think all was over."
 According to Stewart Fisher. the two WOmen, EFaulteu AuASic, anu Eiod Wernberg. were alive when the tug came out, but died before the work of rescue was completed. Fisher said:
 When left the wreck. the engineer was scarcely breathing and there Is no hope of getting him off alive.
 ''Wo had terrible time. When the steamer broke. twenty-five of us took refuge In a recess behind the smoke room. This morning only fifteen re- mained. We could get no good sleep; we were too busy lodging the waves that kept flooding the smoke room. We sat next to one another to keep warm. but we had to cling to what we could when big wave came aboard. We could see the people who put off In boats to view the wreck. and watch those searching for bodies In the sea-"

Chicago, Feb. 2z-wIth her mind ale most completely wrecked. MrS. Flora Mcdonald. who yesterday shot and killed Webster S. Guerin. was removed last night to the annex of the Harrison Street police station. where her hus- band, Michael c. Mcdonald, spent most of the night with her.
 After her removal. her condition be- came gradually worse and she could neither recognize MeDonald nor others who had questioned here earlier in the day.
 were given her almost every hour throuRhout the night but she could not he ouieted. At times she imagined the sun was shining over her. and that its rays had caused her head to burst.
 Mcdonald was deeply anected oy nie wiVe's condition and frequently sobbed.
 From the time of the tragedy untit n late hour last night. Mrs. Mcponald talked in q rambling and disconnected manner. and little was obtained from her concerning the motive for the crime. From other sources. ana also from pieces of crudely composed verge found in her handbag. Ut was Ieernee that Mrs. Mcdonald had been possess ed of an all-absorbing passion--a love fo~ soue one.
 The object of her affection Is not dis. closed in the verses. but developments after the tragedy led to the belief that it was Guerln.
 Mrs. McDonald's evolution to the po- lice as to the motive for her crime seens exniodec hv tho statements of her husband. Mrs MrDona'd declared Guerin had been lovvirg S'aekvnall on her and that repeatedly had ohtained sums from her on threats of exposure.
 This explanation. however. was con- t-adioted ny the words of MeDonaid. He said he had never given his wife large sums Of n'orev. the sums havfng only been sufficient for the needs of the household. or the well defined needs ot the woman.
 Guerin's relatives declared that since Guerin had been boy in school Mrs. Mcdonald had been In love with him. and that she had continued her att tentions even after he had used every influence to break his relations with her.
 It was said last night that Guerin re- gently became engaged to a West Side young woman. This situation was con- sidered as significant, inasmuch as it may have meant that he had served notice on Mrs. Mcdonald that her reia- tionS must eeass
