followed to the letter. SteerRge passen-

| on the pier and fitted out with clothing for
their immediate needs and supplied for
the future. Some Of thrifty ones came
up again when they had been fitted ont

as they could get. They were put into
motor trucks from the Gimbel store and
taken to the lodging houses. Probably

nurses and Sisters OF Mercy took care
Of those who were sick or hysterir al.
