MOTHER SEES SON
The mother of Midshipman Cheva-
lier. who was in charge of the swamped
boat and who collapsed after saving
twelve men, arrived in New York to-
day from New Bedford, Mass, and
spent most Of the day with her son.
He is still shaken after the extreme
mental and physical strain.
z. Karl, one of the men supposed
to be dead, is credited with having
saved four men. Karl was a big fell
low and a good swimmer. In the
water he held up two men until two
life preserVers came his way. He
gave these to the boat and then swan
around and found two other men who
were exhausted and sinking. These
he held up until they We're picked
up by a boat
Still regardless of his own safety,
he did not attempt to get aboard for
fear of overlooking the boat. Nobody
seems to have seen him afterward.
The account of his bravery was given
by his shipmates.
All day today police boats dotted
the river above West 157th street, their
crews graphing for bodies Their
efforts were in vain.
NO BODY RECOVERED
Not one body was recovered Old
river men said they were not sur
prised, for when the accident occurred,
they declared, the tide was running
out like mill race.
1t probably will be several days be-
fore more bodies are found
Along the water front in the vicinity
of the accident crowds gathered today,
rushing hither and thither seeking in
