accomplished by the Ingraham against
tremendous odds. The spot where the
Anton Van Driel was wrecked is q mass

brought doom to the Belgian ship was
still raging when the Ingraham ar
rived.
First Attempts BaffIed
Attempt after attempt was made ~

each time they were beaten back by
the furious sea. II was only after hours
Of effort and at the imlnjrent peril Of
their lives, chat the men CT the In
graham reached the three survivors and
brought them to safety.
Shortly after the Anton Van Driel
was hurled on the rocks Sunday even

attempt to make the brief journey
through the giant breakers to the
shore. Almost instantly the boats were
swept away and dashed in pieces
against the cliffs. Four men had pre-
ferred to stick to the wreck and a
fifth, by q freak Of the waves, was
swept back to the deck of the vessel
after the iifeboat in which he had
embarked was smashed. The remain
ing twenty-four were drowned

(By The Associated Press) delayed ).---
At the opening Of the Indian National
Congress to-day the President, Motial
Nehru, in his inaugural address, re-
ferred to the tragic events in Punjab
The members of the Congress-, he de-
clared, met in deep mourning for the
cruel murder of hundreds of their
brothers.
The pledges of peace, said Motilal
Nehru, had proved empty. President
Wilson's fourteen points were dead.
Prussianism had been crushed and
nilitarism enthroned. Russia. desiring
peace, had been given no respite. Tur-
keys fate hung in the balance.
The presiden tof the Congress pro-
ceeded to criticize severely the admin
istration, with which they could not go
hand in hand. He contended that the
official evidence before the Hunter COM
mission showed that martial law had
been needlessly prolonged merely for
striking terror into the hearts Of the
people and to avoid trouble in the
future
