anxious relatives and friends OF the
passengers.
But beyond saying that the vessel
was apparently in no danger, ana that
the passengers and crew would prob

Christmas dinner. the officers OF the
line could give but little information.
The next word heard from the Tur-

three o'clock. II was from captain
Lindsay, and read:

Life Savers Get Warning.


The first land station 10 pick up the
message was the one at the end Of the
Million Dollar Pier at Atlantic City.
It was relayed TO New York, and the
life saving crews all along the South
New Jersey shore were warned Of the
vessels plight.
Those on shore had greater fears
for the vessels safety than the wire
less warranted. They feared that the
bowling northeaster and the strong
inshore current. which tossed the
waves mountain high and pounded
them against the shore, would prove
menace TO the fruit steamer.
The two life saving crews at the
Brigantine and the crews at Little Egg
Harbor and Atlantic stations made
ready. and shortly after daybreak sue
ceeded in getting their boats beyond
the surf line, and headed seward, on
the alert for the vessels siren.
Toward 8 o'clock the life savers Of
the Little Egg Harbor station made
out the white mass Of the Turrialbay,
about three miles off shore, a little
south Of them, and several miles south
Of where Captain Lindsay reckoned
the ship to be.
About this time Captain Lindsey
sent a second message. this time ed
dressed 10 the office of his company
saying there was no water in the hold
Of the vessel and the situation was no
worse.
The marine men who compared the
position given by Captain Lindsay In
his wireless and his true position fig
ured he had been blown out of his
course by the wind and that the heavy
buffetings OF the northeaster had held
him back from ten to twenty miles
more than he had calculated.

Just before midnight the Brooklyn
navy yard picked up the following mes
sage:
Passengers and ship resting easily.
The message was signed by Captain
Lindsay. Up to the hour mentioned no
word had been received directly from
the Seneca. Several efforts to get in
touch with the revenue cutter by the
navy yard station were unsuccessful.
The Turrialba, one of the largest and
newest of the United Fruit Company's
feet, was nosing her way slowly along
the New Jersey coast, when she hit the
Egg Harbor Shoals, burying her bow
in the gripping sands.
The heavy gale blowing had deadened
the roar Of the shoals. and the guiding
lights along the treacherous coast were
hidden by the swirling snow.
The impact reused the passengers
from their sleep. They clambered up
the companionways. only 10 be told by
the officers and crew, who had as

gines reversed at the first feeling OF
shock, and the watertight bulkheads
were closed by the hand gear in the

his place on the bridge, in full con-
troll of the situation.

ord Of the proceedings OF the commit-
toe. made yesterday by reporter Tor
The Tribune, disclosed the fact that
if the stenographers reported Miss
Coleman's testimony correctly, she gave
evidence in her last answer along the
lines, that apparently so stirred up the
CORPORATION Counsel, which indicated
plainly that she realized Mr.. Buckners
questions were directed solely at the
previous sarcastic remarks Of Mt.
Speir
After he had asked the questions,
Mr.. Buckner said, according to the
official record: Il am only bringing this
out in order to enlighten my associ-
ate" and with the words Mr.. Buckner
turned toward Mr.. Speir at whom by
that time the glances Of nearly every
one in the crowded aldermanic cham
Der were levelled.
Miss Colemans answer, taken from
the official record, shows that she UNI
derstood at that time that the whole
episode was directed at Speir, for she
replied: Mr.. Speir knows me quite
well"

Sees Attempt to Aid Police.

Mr.. Buckner and his associates were
disposed to view the whole affair last
night as simply an attempt by another
one Of the city departments under the
Mayor to Come to the rescue Of the Po-
lice Department.
In other circles the sudden arrest or
Patroman Eugene Fox by order OF
Commissioner Waldo was considered TO
be at least a peculiar move, inasmuch
as the evidence against Fox STANDS
solely on the uncorroborated word OF
George A. Sipp.
1t was learned that seven subp3nas
had been hurriedly sent out from the
District Attorneys office last night, In
the hope Of rounding up some corrobo-
ration for Sips story, but 1t is be-
lieyed that IL Mr. Whitman had his
way about 1t he would not have d.
rected the arrest OF Fox until he had
been able to obtain confederation for
Sipp's story.
The unwonted activity Of Commits
soner Waldo with regard TO Fox, so
contrary to his policy in the Becker
case, caused speculation last night as
TO whether the Commissioner would not
lay himself open to a scolding from
Mayor Gaynor, who has previously
directed him specifically not to pay
any attention TO the clamor." and who
particularly ordered him not to suspend
Becker until the charges had been sub
stantiated.
Waldo's equally sudden activity with
regard TO Captain Walsh was even
more surprising TO the police politi-
Clans" who had come to believe that
Walsh had a mortgage on the station
