 OF THEIR HARDSHIPS

PORT ANGELES, Feb. 19. - The cutter Snohomish, of the Coast Guard service, arrived here yesterday bring ing the wrecked crews of the steam ships Tuscan Prince and Santa Rita, both of which went ashore off Vancou- yer Island in Thursdays gale. For the Santa Rita this is the second disaster to have occurred at the same point, her captain recalling that it was at about the place where the Santa Rita went aground Thursday that on No- vember 20, 1920, the Santa Rita had been cut loose from the Peruvian barge, W. J. Pirrie, which drifted ally went ashore with the loss of eigh- teen lives. The captain, his wife and baby and two men were rescued half dead by Indians.
 Further details of the escape of the crew of the Tuscan Prince were learned from the survivors yesterday, who stated that after the Prince had struck one of the seamen, George Lobb, tried to swim ashore with a line. but was unable to go more than two yards. After two attempts Boat swain Fox and Seaman Golding launched a boat, in which they set out for shore. The boat was smashed to pieces but the two men managed to reach the land with a line, which they made fast for the rigging of brooches buoy, in which the rest of the crew fin ally landed safely with what few stores they were able to carry
 The men of the steamer Santa Rita were cared for by Indians, who took them to a village four miles from the place where they were marooned, and warmed and fed them in their homes until they were taken off by the Snohomish. The captains of both the Tuscan Prince and the Santa Rita were loud in their praises of the heroic efforts of the crew of the Snohomish and of Lieutenant H. G. Hemingway, her commander.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 19. - Almost dead from cold and suffering greatly from the effects of exposure, forty three members of the crew of the steamer Tuscan Prince which went ashore on Vancouver Island in Thurs days gale, were removed Saturday from the bleak and desolate island at the entrance to Barclay Sound. Through the heroic efforts of life-sav- ing crews from Bamfield and the seine-boats Napmint and China Hat, the castaways were taken aboard the cutter Snohomish, which proceeded with them to Port Angeles. The res cue work, which began Friday after noon with the taking off of fourteen Of the men, was interrupted by dark ness, and the remainder of the cast aways were forced to remain another night at the mercy of the cold. Early Saturday morning, however, the work was resumed and the men taken from their rock. The story of the wreck of the Tuscan Prince is one of harrow
 ing experience rarely exceeded in the annals of the graveyard of the Pa cific' Bound for the Straits of Juan de Fuca the Tuscan Prince was caught by the raging blizzard that bore down upon the length of the coast that day. Missing the entrance and unable to ascertain her position, the ship sent out an s. o. s. call, and a moment later crashed upon the rocky shores of a small island near an Indian village. All night long the officers and crew chung to the wreckage of the ship, which lifted and fell with each tre- mendous wave, turning and tossing and crashing down with terrific force on the rocks. Enormous seas raced along her decks, battering the deck houses and breaking the life-boats to splinters, while the salt spume whipped the faces and chilled to the bone the men who doggedly hung on. Just how they managed to get ashore at last the numbed and dazed men were in no condition to tell when they were taken aboard the Snohomish, but they succeeded in keeping alive on some food saved from the ships stores. Fresh water was found near the place where they were cast up, and building a fire out of driftwood,

 It was Pinky Payne. who, all ex-- citement, came running in.
 I've just heard, and I want to see Aunt Emily"

 What do they say, Pinky? What's the talk in town?" Lockwood asked. 'Oh, the place is in a turmoil There are the widestTeports < Some say it's a-a-that he killed himself, you know; and some say he didn't. Which was it?"<

Oh, how terrible," and the boy almost lost control of himself. You were at the bottom of it, Auntie. I'm sure 1t was either one of those men you re- fused when you took up with Doc Waring."

 But know it. If you'd heard Jim Haskell and Philip Leonard talk felt sure they meant to kill pr. Waring."
 "Pinky, I forbid you"
 But it's true, Auntie. And if it's true, you want them shown up, don't you, whichever one it was?"
 Hush, Pinky. hush"
 Yes. shut up. Pink" Lockwood spoke sternly. What yot suggest is highly impro bable. but even if there's suspicion of such thing. don't bab- ble about it. That's the detectives work" "Yes-and who's your detective? old blind asa bat Morton. I'll bet, who cant see hole through lad der. I'll show him now"

 Gut it out, Pink" said Helen, and her words seemed to have an effect on the irrepressible youth. ITO read detective stories is one thing, to solve real, live mystery is quite another"
 That's right, Helen" and Lock- wood nodded approval. Many per son thinks he has a bit of detective instinct, when all he has is curiosity and imagination"
 Helen, pleased at this appreciation, went on to lay down the law for Pinckney Payne.
 She was interrupted by the entrance of Morton, who wanted to learn more of the departed Japanese, Nogi.
 What other servants are there?" he asked Mrs. Peyton.
 "Only the two Japanese" she re- plied. They do all the cooking and serving at table; all the cleaning/o Of the house; and the rest. my daughter and myself attend to-"

Gordon Lockwood knows all about it."
 You suspect him?'
 "Either of the deed, or of guilty knowledge"
 And his motive?"
 Money. That young man is over head and ears In debt"
 ITO whom?"
 ITO shops-jewelers, florists, resta- urants. All the debts a gay young blade would incur"
 You amaze me, Morton. Lockwood isn't that sort"
 Isn't he? You're deceived, like ev- cry one else, by that icy calm of his He stares haughtily, and appears above and beyond ordinary mortals, but he's deep. That's why he is deep"
 Well, how did he do it?"
 With his penholder. A smooth. sharp silver penholder. And he took the money and the ruby"
 And, how did he leave the room?"
