After more than thirty hours of
suffering from exposure and lack of
hot food, during which time they
were constantly in peril, thirty-two
passengers of the Princess Anne,
the Old Dominion Line steamship
which piled up on a shoal off Rock
sway Point in the storm early Fri
day, were removed from the strand
I'd liner yesterday morning and
brought to this city. Twenty-eight
Of the crew Of seventy-two, includ-
ang Captain Frank Seay, also left
: dc liner. New York policemen did
the rescue work.
The transfer of the endangered
men and women was not accom-
plished without difficulty. Ever
since she had been driven hard
aground before battering north
east gale the harbor police, coast
guards and crews of other vessels
had attempted in vain to reach her
side. Each attempt was abandoned
when giant breakers, crashing over
the outer bar off the Point, threat
ened to crush the rescue craft.
Finally, the harbor police, who had
been standing by all day Friday and
Friday night, resolved yesterday to
make another try to reach the big
craft. They were favored by veer-
ing Of the wind to the northwest,
which considerably reduced the
whitecaps, and by rising tide.
Police Launch No. 6, tiny craft in
command of Lieutenant Harry Dobert,
and with William Matthews, pilot, and
off from the Police Boat Patrol and
made for the Princess Anne. The small
launch plowed through seas seemingly
impossible to weather, and after a
struggle reached the lee, or shore, side
of the grounded liner. Its trip was
futile, for Captain Seay believed it too
risky to transfer the passengers and
refused permission for them to be
taken off. When Lieutenant Dobert re-
ported this to Acting Captain James
Ho!lock, in command of the Patrol,
Hollock replied:
"Hell! Go Get Them"
"Hell! go get them"
Dobert turned about and made for
the stranded vessel a second time.
When he returned he had eight passen-
gers aboard. They were A. J. FASTER
mac, of 1853 Fifth Avenue, an influenza
victim, and his wife; Mr.. and Mrs.
