While engaged in towing the four.
east motor schooner Astoria from Port
Prize to Sydney, the tug Nyoro found.
cred in heavy sea, fifteen men being

Of the disaster, said according TO
the story told by an officer Of the As.
ftoria yesterday, there was an unusually
rough sea ,Apripg the entire voyage
around TO Sydney. The Astoria nut
into Adelaide where she obtained an.
other tug which, the mate says, was
nearer steamer than tow boat.
In the rough sea out Of Adelaide, the
tow line broke on the second tug, de.
spite the fact that the Astoria was
using both engines and sail. There was
mo chance to get out another line SO
the Astoria headed for Sydney where
she arrived eighteen hours ahead of the
tug.
Hear News At Sydney
I Although 10 was known aboard the
motor schooner that serious accident
had befallen the tug Nyoro, the loss of
fifteen sailors was not learned until
Sydney was reached.
In telling the story yesterday after.
noon, Mate Benson said:
owe left Port Pirie for Sydney,
meeting a strong southwest wind and
choppy seas. At one.twenty in the
morning we hove to and did not again
start on our course until three. twenty.
A heavy gale was blowing from the
southwest and the tug Nyoro hove to
at ten o'clock. So
&. cat ten-fifteen she dropped the
bauser and proceeded to windward
about three miles with heavy list to
port. She foundered at ten.thirty bear.
Ding from the ship west by south three
niles A heavy sea was running and
we lay to until eleventhirty, after
which we set sail and proceeded on our
way as best we could under the circum.
stances. @
"No wreckage of any description
could be seen so Capt. August Swan
son mustered the crew aft It was evi.
dent that, nothing could be done and
1t would have been suicide to have at
tempted to 20 to her assistance. We
were helpless with the sea running as II
was so we headed our course for AIDE.
laide without further DELAY. The day
of our arrival in Sydney was certainly
a sad one, for it was there we learned
that fifteen sailors had lost their lives
when the tug foundered.
Two Are Saved '".

IN an open boat. and how they were
able to do it with sea such as that
was; is more than I am able to figure
out. /" U.s.. s.e.t,; 49,. -,...,-s =. ~

MUCH PATIENCE
To Be Used by America
In Russian Situation

Francis and American Attitude

Washington. Dec. 26.-Great for
bearance and patience will be exer-
cised by the American government in
dealing with the chaotic Russian sit
uation because it is realized that Ger
man intrigue, working through thinly
disguised agents within the ranks of
the ,Bolsheviki, is doing it's utmost to
bring about a breach between the
United States and Russia.

1t is the purpose to permit the Rus

their own salvation free from any Am

There still Is a deep seated convic-
ton in administration circles that WITH
in a reasonable period of time a sat

Much has been made of the failure
Of the ambassador to extend official
recognition TO the Lcnine regime as it
did the first Republican government.

Eumania. which has been distorted
into n purpose to aid a counter revo-
