GERMAN FAMILY FLEES
FROM INTERIOR MEXICO
Forced by Revolution to Undertake
Perilous Flight by Sailboat
and on Foot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va, July 31.-Deprived
of their ranch after I9 years of hard
work and forced by the Mexican
revolution to fee penniless and with
out food. Wilhelm Won Waldenfels
and his family of four reached here
yesterday on board the steamer Otto
Hugo SHINES on their way back to
Germany. They brought a narrowing
tale of flight from their home in the
interior of Tabasco, a 48-hour trip
down the Grigalva River to Frontera
in a sailboat steered by a Mexican
girl-the only member of the party
that had any idea of sailing the
craft; of lost direction and the piling
of the crazy old craft on the rocks,
and, finally, of the long journey
afoot from Frontera to Vera Cruz.
At Vera Cruz the weary refugees had
their first bit of good luck. in the
presence in the harbor of the SHINES.
They had no money, but Capt Gras-
hoff, a fellow countryman, waived
aside the question of passage money.
Won Waldenfels was particularly
bitter against the federal troops,
whom he said he had seen burn en-
tire villages after pillaging every
store and house.
