The Estonia, itself hard hit In the

about 700 miles east of Cape Race.
The Estonia at that time was forty

direction. Capt. Hans Jorgenson or
dered his ship about and 1t steamed
slowly toward the Grontoft.
Meanwhile Radio Operator Hansen

was sent out by the Grontoft, and Its

Contrary to ropular opinion the larg-

resulted from the high ratio OF govern
ment employees with salaries Of more
than $1,000 a year.
