been torpedoed. All hands were saved.
The ship was beached.
(The United States navy depart
ment announced that the vessel was

In order to save time, instead of
launching the boats the men clambered
down ropes to destroyers which sur

ship was one of large convoy ap-
preaching the English coast and was
about 200 miles out. The torpedoing
took place Friday at 3 p. N.
There was no sign of panic on board.

Hair combs, earrings, finger rings.
chinas and brooches made of tortoise

tortoise shell, ornamented with choice
pieces Of pearl. or silver. or gold fill

becomes very plable and can be

is when the shell is in heated state
