before any resistance could be offered
by few native noncommissioned Off

Most OF Them Are Americans Bound
For South European
Tours.

London, June II, Cable: A cable
gram was received here from Cap

Lloyd steamship, Irene, which says
that he has taken on board 10 cabin
passengers and that the Hamburg
American Liner Batavia had the 800

which was wrecked off Flores Island
in the Azores group.
The message also displayed the
proverbial good fortune of the Cunard
Line, which up TO now has been able
TO boast that it has never lost a pas
senger.
The passengers OF the lost ship will
proceed TO their destinations with
slight delay.
Just how the Slavonia came TO
launch herself upon the PERCEPTIONS
shores OF the Flores Island. the west
ernmost Of the Azores group; how
long the passengers were on board
before rescue came. or how the trans
fers OF these voyagers was accomp-
lished, is still TO be told.
It is not even known just when the
Cunarder struck nor whether all Of
the officers and crew were saved.
Al the time the message came from
Captain Peterson the Cunard Line had
not received the first hint of a dis
aster to the Slavonia.
The Princess Irene is one Of the
crack ships of the North German
Lloyd. and the Batavia is one of the
Mediterranean feet of the Hamburg
Line. The Slavonia left this port on
June under Captain A. G. Dunning
a most experienced navigator and
noted for his caution. The officers
and crew numbered fully 200, so that
on board the ship when she stranded
