Hughtown. scilly islands, June az
The saving Of the passengers Of the
wrecked Belgian steamer Gothlanc
was accomplished by almost super
human effort on the part Of the steam
ships crew and the life saving crews
which came to the rescue.
Members of the life saving crews
from st. Mary's told today how one
of the Gothland's small boats. crammed
with women and children. broke away
from the davits and fell thirty feet into
the sea. The bottom Of the boat was
smashed and all were thrown into the
water. The women and children
struggled helplessly in the waves
auartermaster of the Gothland sprang
from the steamers deck and succeeded
in saving three of the women.
Several Of the life saving crew also
jumped into the water and handed
drowning children to their companions
in the rescue boat until all had been
saved. There was a heavy sea run
ming and all salvage work was periious
but eventually all were got safely
ashore.
The crew of the Gothland. which
was on the voyage from Montreal to
Rotterdam, again went on board today
to jettison some OF her cargo OF grain
in the hope Of tightening the boat suf-
flciently to refloat her.

Secretary Of State Offers Regret Over
Events at Samsa Bay.
Washington. June 24.-Secretary Of
State Bryan has offered an expression
Of regret to another nation besides CO.
lombia, Japan happens this time to be
the country to which the United States
has offered what is practically an apol-
ogy. But what is Of greater importanee
is the fact that the secretary Of state
has put a large dent into the principle
Of the open door" in China first enun-
ciated by Secretary Hay fourteen years
ago and agreed to by all the nations OF
the world, including japan.
The action taken by Secretary Bryan
grew out Of the determination Of China
to create a navy. Several months aga
the Chicago minister Of marine decided
that one of the first steps in the devel-
opment Of fleet was the. establish
ment of naval base. He consulted his
experts, but was not satisfied with
their recommendation. He came to the
conclusion that 1t would be the part OF
wisdom to obtain the views OF for-
eign naval officer. 2. TT FI55.,sE
