Life Voyage on Board
Lamport and Holt Liner
BY Associated Press

New York. Feb. 1S.-The steamer
Byron. of the Lamport & Holt Line,
now in port, has on board a life voy-
ager. He is Ernest Victor Hugo, a
relative of the famous French writer,
who, as first officer of the Lamport &
Holt liner Veronese, suffered paralysis
from the waist down as the result of
exposure and hardship when his ship
was wrecked on the Portuguese coast.
Later he developed insomnia, and he
cannot sleep unless soothed by the
rocking of ship.
The line which he had served so
we'll undertook his care and since then
he has been travelling as its guest on
any vessel that he selected He came
in yesterday on the Byron from South
American ports and, unless he changes
his mind before that vessel sails, he
will go back by her. He wears a
medal bestowed by the Royal Humane
Society for the rescue of thirty two
lives at the time of the Veronese
disaster.
