VESSEL is FOUND.
A Hail Crazed, Starving Crew
on Missing Schooner.
Passing Ship Gives Aid and
Mother and Babe Saved.

Fresno, Cal, Aug. 21.-Where men
go down to sea, tales are told of life.
of death and adventure, but none
more weird that that of the William
H. Smith.
Life and death sailed with the little
steamer schooner iii days ago from
the harbor of Faisi, Solomon Island.
And with the lives of the little crew
of Captain NelS Jensen, his wife and
seven seamen as pawns, life and death
gambled during the long days that
the William H. Smith has been given
up for lost.
Life triumphed when a little babe
came to add to the number Of the
ships company. But even then, death
was playing his trump. card-starva-
ton.
Men Cut Rations.
The men of the crew reduced their
rationS voluntarily that Mrs. Jensen
might be favored because,of the forth
coming event. But even greater sac
rifice became necessary. AS the vessel
lay becalmed for foEty-three days, the
rations were cut in half and then as
they dwindled, the men took to chew
ing copra-cocoanut meAt-in their
cargo For eleven days it had been
their only diet when their plight was
discovered by the motor ship Annie
Johnson.
Captain Thomas Murray, OF the
Annie johnson brought the news to
port. He noted the Willial-l H. Smith
flying distress signals and responded.
The crew of the becalmedr schooner at
tempted to launch a boat but were too
weak-it crashed from its davits
Captain Murray went aboard and
found a half crazed, starving crew and
a frantic mother trying to keep life
within her tiny babe. Thirty days
supply of food-all Captain Murray
could spare-was placed aboard ana
todayfhe William H. Smith was near
ing port
as missing.
