earthquake when 122 pinched faced
survivors, carrying all their worldly
possessions in little bundles done up
in handkerchiefs, towels and bits of
paper, disembarked from the mercy
ship, President jefferson, here yester-
day.
To some of them black interlude
was ended, they were at home again
and the strain of the last half month
could not be forgotten and dismissed.
To others, destitute, their homes de-
molished and perhaps a wife or hus-
band or child dead or missing it was
another story. But to all it was relief.

Yokohama and the first vessel with
earthquake victims to reach an Amer
lean shore. Ambulanccs met the
vessel, and hurried the six seriously
injured to hospitals and taxicabs and
private cars carried others to hotels
or homes in Seattle.
OF those who landed, six were
seriously injured or suffering from ex-
posure and shock, 25 others were
caring for minor hurts and bruises
and at least 25 were destitute. These
latter were taken in charge by the
Seattle chapter of the Seattle Red
Cross until such time when they could
get in touch with relatives or friends
or find work and begin life over.
Thirty three survivors left the ves-
sci at Victoria B. c., few had been
able to save any of their personal be- !
longings as they hurried from the |
stricken japanese cities and many
wore borrowed garments leaving the
Jefferson today. Members of the ves-
sells crew generously loaned clothing |

scanty attire and in addition gave up
heir berths and slept where they
