Daphne had come home after a

sore and footsore, In shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was

voice chanted in her ear with tone
of peculiarly comforting melancholy.

10 U. S. SAILORS DROWN
Men Were Returning to BattIeship Ne
vada When Their Launch Cap
sized-OnIy One Saved.

New York, April 29-Thirteen sail
ors returning in navy launch to the
battleship Nevada were reported by
the police to have drowned when the
launch sank in the Hudson river off
One Hundred and Thirty street
early Monday. The police said that in
the absence Of an official statement by
the naval authorities they based the
report on information from persons
who said they witnessed the sinking
and heard the cries of drowning sail
ors. Those witnesses declared that
the launch apparently collided with
something just before reaching the Ne
vada and they had a clear view of
what was taking place because of the
navy searchlights playing on the scene.
There were Il persons in the launch
one being rescued, according to the
police.

She limited as much to Duane, and
he bettered the suggestion. Not only
did he check the speed, but at one
wooded cliffside with a vista of pecu-

the chuttering engine and turned off

They sat utterly content till Duane
shook off the blissful stupor. They
