SHIPS CREW WERE MOBILES.
On Trip to Malta, 800 Russian Aristo-
Gratis Did Mental Labor.

New York, June 11.-Six hundred
Russian aristocrats and mobiles, whose
names decade ago lent splendor to
the Court of Nicholas, did mental work
aboard the British steamship Bermu-
dian after their rescue from Bolsh-
visit pursuers, according to Capt. C.
Dickinson, adjutant of the liner which
arrived here recently.
The officer told how the Bermudian,
transported the halfstarved, ragged,
Russians from Constantinople to
Malta after the British ship Phrygia
had furnished them refuge at Yalta,
Russia. Jewelry they had saved in
their fight, the captain declared, was
worth in the aggregate, 200 million
dollars. There were twenty princes,
thirty-two princesses, one of them
Princess Dadestkaveeam, daughter of
a Cossack ruler, twenty generals and
numerous counts and countesses in
the party.
Gen. w. Semenoff, once chief of the
cars bodyguard, was a hospital or
derby on the Bermudian, and Fl. Ker-
che, formerly president of the duma,
a waiter.
