INTEREST IN ABBEY SAVED MISSIONARY Girls Desire to Visit Vest minister Kept Her Off
 Wrecked Steamer

Washington. August S.-When Miss Maude Powell, missionary of the Pres byterian church in China reached Wash inston this forenoon, she learned she had been mourned as dead and that only q few weeks ago funeral services in hei memory had been held. It had been be- lieved that Miss Powell was lost in a steamship wreck.
 Miss Powell had intended to cross or a certain vessel. but at the last minute she changed her booking. Miss Powell after deciding that she would come by another line, wrote friends here. The let ters never arrived.
 Miss Powell credits her escape from tho shipwreck to her childhood interest in Westminster abbey. She says all her life she had been anxious to see that historic spot. and when she did reach London she could not tear herself away from the spectacle. It was her desire to spend move time in the abbey that led her to ohange her booked sailing.
