 Drawn out of her course by one of the dangerous tidal currents which make navigation hazardous among these islands, the Prinz Joachim was swept ashore on a reef fifty miles northeast of Fortune island, for which place she was making. The sea ai this point is dotted with myriads oi small islands and coral reefs, and the most sk1llful navigation Is neeoed LC thread them successfully.
 Wireless calls for assistance were answered by the Colon of the Panama line, the Red D liner Zulia, the Porto Rico liner Coamo and the Prinz Au, gust Wilhelm.
 The Prinz Joachim is a sister ship to the Prtnz Sigismund and is com. manded by Captain Alexander Fey She is twin screw vessel of 4.T6C tons and is 370 feet long. These ships are well fitted and manned and are among the finest vessels in the West Indian trade out of this port. She was launched in 1903.
 MT, Bryan went south because he was in need of a rest He expected to spend about six weeks in the West Indies and was to have gone to Kingston to visit Mrs. Leavitt. bis married daughter.
 Afterward he expected to go to Pan anna to see the canal and later to Por to Rico.
