flcer on the Volturno, spent the summer
in Europe. Four or five weeks ago, find
ing that her husbands ship would soon
arrive in the port of Rotterdam. she de-
cided to spend those few days In the
Dutch city and surprise her husband by
walking up the gangplank and around the
decks until he saw her. This she did,
but when her husband saw her he ar
rested" her and marched her back to the
pier
Mrs Miller went to Antwerp and en-
gagged passage aboard the Kroonland. OF
the Red Star Line. bound for New York.
So much is positive, and also that Mrs
Miller Is now on that boat. somewhere
in the middle Of the Atlantic, as is-out
that must wait.
II is also known that Mrs. Miller. win
several other passengers aboard the ois
Kroonland, learned, when the snip ap
preached somewhere near LATITUDE 1919
degrees north and longitude 4:SS degrees
west. that they were rushing to the ald
of a burning steamship. 1t was scarcely
dawn on Friday. the ocean was storm
swept. and the passengers of the Kroon-
land were crowded on her decks. III was
in mid-Atlantic. In common with other
passengers, II Is safe to assume that MIS-
Miller soon learned that the stricken snip
was the Volturno.
What happened within the heart OF
little Mrs Miller TO one shall ever know.
But il is safe to assume, again, that the
news meant great deal more to her
al q ohna rd the krOOn-
land. and also that she soon got into COM
munication with the captain and the wire
less operator and learned of each ana
every word. dot and dash that was being
flashed through the night from the Vol
turno.
Those who heard the story in the Offices
OF the auiet little old building down there
at No. 13 Broadway seemed to picture In
their minds the frantic activity OF Mrs.
Miller on the deck OF the Kroonland that
dark night. pleading with the ships off,
GERS to make haste.
II has been published that among the
officers of the Volturno, dragged safely
from the sea, was II. P. Miller, the first
officer.
