Once Detained by British.

The Bryrhilda is one OF tho last of
the old iron sailing ships built in
Scotland. She was launched in 1885
and after adventures in all the seas
on the chart she was bought by
Americans ut the beginning OF the
great war ana sent journeving to ports
of belllSerent nations. In the spring
OF 1915 she ran afuul of the British
blockade in the North Sea and was
detained by IA British cruiser. She
was permitted to proceed and landed
n cargo OF cotton at Bremen. Later
cotton cargoes were taken by the
British.
The loss of a lifeboat In ordinary
times would not mean that the YES
sci losing ii had met mishap, but
proving submarines and drifting
mines changed the conditions ma
tcrially. 1t is believed that the Bryn-
hilda ran into heavy weather possibly
on the second day out and that seas
easily bounded over her low freeboard
and tore a lifeboat from the davits,
besides carrying away a large part
of her dcckload OF red lumber. II
Is also likely that her wireless equip
ment was badly damaged; but II may
be that her skipper feared to answer
the calls for him to announce his
safety or his position because he sus-
pected they might be German strategy
to get him. The owners of the Bryn-
hilda will try TO get in cable touch
with Capt. KenDcaily to-day.

CROWDS AT LIBERTY STATUE
Joyous Throng Sings and Cheers
Many Kiss Flag

ono OF the most patriotic and impress
sve scenes of the early morning
demonstrations took place at the Lib
erty Statue.
Morning sunlight was conquering the
darkness when an impromptu celebra.
tion was held at the statue-one that
will not soon be forgotten.
A young man mounted the speakers
stand in front of the statue and unfurleo
a huge American flag. He leaned over
the front of the stand and pressed his
lips to the emblem
Never was a precedent set so quickly.
Men, women, youths, girls made their
way to the stand and worshipped the
flag with bowed heads and kisses.
4 cheer leader took the stand and the
crowd, that blocked the entire width OF
Broad street, broke forth into a series
of vocal outbursts that re-echoed through
the canyons formed by the tall buildings
and the City Hall.
Patriotic songs were sung and al
intervals the flag was kissed. More per-
sons came, hundreds at time, strug-
Cling to reach the stand. Hats were
hurled high in the air. Speakers poured
forth much oratory, which was lost. for
the most part, in the cheers--for II
mattered not what was said-'it was
right" and must be greeted with a
thunder oe applause, and the applause
soon became so continuous that words
were lost.
Hour by hour the throng at the statue
grew denser-louder-hap II

GREAT JOY FILLS PARIS
Crowds in Streets Await News of
Signing of Armisticc
Special Gable to Evening Public Ledger

Copyright. 1918. bv Ncto York Times Co.
Paris, Nov 1.-The moonlit boule-
wards and streets of Paris were filled
tcnight with joyous crowds, waiting mo-
mentarily for expected news OF the
armistice. In the meantime, all other
good news was received with shouts, and
Il is coming fast. Hardly had the crowds
finished cheering over the request or
Prince Maximilian made to be relieved
of the cnancellorshp when newspaper
office bulletins recorded the fact that the
Kaiser had abdicated.
Almost simultaneously Paris learned
that Romanoes had become Premier of
Spain and General Coanda premier OF
Rumania. Both these men are firm
friends of the Allies. Coandas wife is
French woman.
But all these big things, even to
abdication itself, which had been dis
counted, were looked upon as only the
curtain raisers for the big fact yet to
come of the ending of the war. No
details have been received here as to who
will succeed the Kaiser. but it is taken
for granted that the German Socialists
are in the saddle.
