red by the small boats which had con-
quered the waves and taken to safe
ty.
The work of rescue occupied five
hours at the end of the endea-
vor. 1t was stated probably most of
the saloon passengers were lost.
A man named Captain James and the
manager, John Kelly Nickel, have
been identified among the survivors in
addition to the captain and first Off
GER.
All day Sunday the beach near the
pounding steamer was crowded with
lookers-on, helpless to send aid. Huge
waves lifted from the cold sea and
rising over the vessel, descending,
crashingly swept her decks.
Men could be seen after these tor
rents of water had receded. Some of
them appeared to b lashed to masts or
the rail. The stern of the vessel was
submerged. Only the forward part was
offering a haven of refuge for the mis-
cradle humans who struggled tenacious
ly with the waves and the cold for their
lives.
The foggy, ice-filled waters near
Cape Rice have taken heavy toll of
steamships in the last forty years.
Among those which have gone down
are the Rhodona, Assyrian, Granbrook,
Delmar, Louisa, Scottish King, TitaniB
Lady Beatrice, Ivydene, Palechina and
fifteen others. In addition more than
fifty sailing vessels have been sunk.
Tales of heroism by New Foundland
sailors and inhabitants along the rocky
coast go hand in hand with records Of
the local vessels. They were there again
today, lending almost super'human ef-
forts to task of getting survivors off
the Florizel.
Treachery aboard the ship is believed
to have sent her smashing on the rocks
of Broad Cove. That Captain Martin,
one of the best known shippers in the
business, should take his ship Is miles
out of its course, is regarded as astound-
ing. Tampering with the compass is be-
ieved to have been responsible. Per
sons here are inclined to blame the ira
gedy on German agents.

Lecturer Not Wanted.

Grants Pass, Or, Feb. 25.-W. A.
Baker, pastor of the International
Bible Students association, is today con
ferring with his headquarters relative
to calling off all scheduled lectures in
Oregon, following the action of the
council of defense halting his scheduled
talk here. News of the arrest of mem
bers in the east for distributing impro-
per literature caused the local defense
council to formulate few questions re-
garding Red Cross membership, hber-
ty bond and thrift stamp purchases and
support of the government. Baker was
summoned, examined regarding these,
and told he could not hold his scheduled
meeting.
