Captain Roch, master of the French
liner France. reported on his arrival

at sea Francois Robert, sixteen-year-
old bell boy, who had been with the
vessel for several trips.

all the officers, was the sole support of
his mother, who lives in Havre On
Wednesday night while off duty, he was
playing with two other bell boys OF
his own age on the after part of the
ship. The three were laughing and
scufling with one another when Robert
climbed on the teak rail. The liner
suddenly lurched and tilted him into
the sea. The France was making about
twenty knots and before she could be
stopped she was a quarter Of q milo

fell
His companions ran forward and re-
ported the accident to the bridge and
life buoy equipped with an acetelyn
torch was thrown overheard. Captain
