Joseph Conrad Dies
OF Asthma Attack
At Home in England

BISHOPSBOURNE, Eng, Aug. 4.
with such rapidity that his physician
advised the use of oxygen. The
Lovers of literature today mourned
the passing Of Joseph Conrad, emf
nent author of sea tales. who died at
his home here Yesterday in his 9th
year.
Death came suddenly.
Mr. Conrad was apparently in nor
NAL health Saturday morning. At
noon, however, he was seized with an
attack of asthma, which developed
novelist suffered much pain and
grew worse during the night.
At $50 in the morning, while rest
ing in a chair. he suddenly expired,
his heart being unable to withstand
the strain of the asthmatic attack.
He held a certificate as master of
the merchant service and never in
his life did he entirely rehnquish
himself to writing. His interest in
the sea and it's sailors never Jagged.
COnrad's native tongue was Polish.
His parents were of that nationality
and it was as a young Pole that Cor
rad shipped before the mast in his
early youth.
When, at 80, literature became his
goal Conrad deliberately sought a
language in which to express him
self, and when, finally, he chose
English, he went to England to study
where he became in most respects an
Englishman and his mastery over
the language was such as few who
are born to it ever attain.
