Mr.. Mead, telling of their experiences.
On board R. NJ S. Baltic
Sunday, o'clock P. NJ, 1909.
MY DEAR AUNT VAN: We have had an awful
experience and were taken on board this ship
at one o'clock last night from sinking Ital-
ian emigrant ship 1.-The Florida The Florida
was the ship that collided' with our ship, the
Republic, at $40 Saturday morning. We were
all asleep when the awful crash came and in
pitch darkness. The Florida struck us amid
ships, putting the engines out of commission
and tearing great hole way into our ship
killing lady in one cabin and gentleman in
another and badly injuring several Others
One mas dled since. Four of the crew were
killed on the Florida. Helen and l rushed on
deck with only our outside coats on and have
lost practically everything. Helen is only
partially clothed, and have no underclothing,
shirt; just my trousers on over my night shirt
and my outside coat. l saved $500 in Ameri-
can Express checks, but lost our letter of
credit for a thousand dollars and some of Hell
EN- JeWelry. We have lost over a thousand
dollars worth of clothes and will have to stay
at the Murray Hill Hotel in New York until
we can get clothes enough to get back to Par
ker House, Boston. Helen did beautifully, but
1t Will be long time before we get over this
awful, awful experience. We are so thankful
to be on this ship, but are still floating around
out here In the fog just outside Sandyhook.
There were 1900 people on the decks of the
sinking Florida last night. The filth on her
was terrible and we men had to fight the Ital-
lans to get to the boats last night after the
women and children We're taken off. My body,
hands and legs are all bruises from kicks and
blows they gave me while trying to get to a
boat, for we expected her to go down any time
10 make matters worse it was raining hard
when the women and children We're being
taken off between one and three o'clock 1t
took SIX hours to carry us to this ship, the Bal
tic, where we found something warm to drink
and eat and good warm cabin. If anything
happens to this boat it would he terrible for
there are over 2OO0 people on board. Must
stop now and get to bed for | am so tired.
Pass this letter along, for l am too tired to
write the others. Lots of love to you all, and
we are so thankful to be saved SO far.
Good night,

terfere with any plan which they may have
had relative to the prevention or shaping of
legislation as party. Mr.. Montgomery intro
labor men of the State who are urging its pas
sage. AS everyone knows it provides for the
extension of the B. & A. rebate'on the tax on
that road for the next ten years amounting to
$4,000 year and the rebate of the tax on the
proposed new Allagash branch of that road
which will open up entirely new country in
the Aroostook region. OF course it is not a
party measure at all and no one ever thought
that any political consideration would enter
into its discussion. The issue is plainly drawn
and the question is not whether it was original
ly measure of the Republican party or of the
Democratic party but whether the people of
Maine want to extend the rebate to encourage
and aid the construction of another branch line
of the B. & A. through the Aroostook region.
