tain Miller fired several signal
lights.
Having attracted their attention,
the schooner came alongside, but due
to the extreme weather IL required
about two hours to maneuver into
position before attempting the rescue.
Due to the smallness of the schooner,
Captain Miller states that at that
time he would much rather have cast
his lot with the seaplane. az In his
opinion II was far more seaworthy
than the schooner itself, but without
power he was unable to proceed and
had no choice but to take his chances
with the schooner.
Captain Muller reports that on
final inspection, Of his motor he found
one of the driving gears OF the motor
had broken, crippling the ignition
system, causing the motor to stop.
Captain Miller reports that no
hardships were suffered except those
incidental to transferring from one
boat to another in high seas. The
passenger, v. s. Robinson, of Pitts.
burgh; Pa, stated that he and his
friends were motorists. They had
stopped at Atlantic City for the hot
spell, coming thence to New York.
An attempt was made by the
schooner to tow the seaplane to
shore, but the waves were so high
and the wind was so strong that the
attempt had to be abandoned. C. F.
Rodden, president Of the Aero.Ma-
rine Company. Inc, who is in De.

to pick up the Ambassador II.

Senators opposed to the soldiers
bonus will appeal personally to Presi-
dent Harding today to give his sup.
port In the fight they are going to
make against the passage Of the Nc.
Cumber- -Fordney bill by the Senate.
Senators Borah of Idaho and Wads-
worth Of New York. two implacable
bonus foes. were scheduled to see the
President at the White House during
the day for the avowed purpose OF
telling him that they believe IL he
will adhere TO his decision TO veto the
bill unless IL contains a revenue or
tax provision, he may be able to COM
mand enough votes In the Senate to
tustain his veto.
II was suggested that Senator
Underwood of Alabama might also
discuss the situation with the Presi-
dent.
Chairman McCumber, of the Sen
Ite Finance Committee, and other
'onus advocates frankly declared
hey were not so sure" that the
resident would veto the hill once
,e Senate and House agree upon Il
nd pass II by more than the two
nird vote necessary to override his
vote in case he does decide finally
10 withhold his approval Of II.
1t was predicted that Congress
would never consent 10 the sales tax
or any other form Of taxation being
written into the bill. no matter what
the views Of the President may be.
The insurance certificate plan en-
bodied in the McCumber -Fordney
measure will stand without any tax
feature, II was asserted, and as the
Legion Is on record as fav.
