Seen ON COAST

LONDON, July 9.-tPl-The Ex-
change Telegraph company prints a
rather startling dispatch from Dun
kirk which gives new theory on the
disappearance of Captain Alfred
Lowenstein, Belgian financier.
A fisherman Of the small village Of
Bray Dunes, on the coast Of France,
says the dispatch, is reported to have
stated that he was certain he saw a
parachute from the skies. About the
time the Lowenstein plane was cross
ing the English channel and alight a
few miles from the place where he
was.
He did not bother to investigate at
the time as he saw a boat near the
place where the parachute came
down.
There Is no confirmation Of this
report, but in aviation circles II is
asserted that, provided the door of
the plane was open, III would have
been quite possible for Lowenstein
10 leave the airplane without being
detected BY members OF the crew.

alive today TO tell how the vessel had

on the beach near Coronel but the
exact number who perished probably
will never be known since after leav-
ing Punta Arenas with POI persons
aboard the vessel made several stops
en- route picking up additional pas

The ship had been loading material
for the Chilean navy in the Gulf Of
Aruaco when a storm broke late in
the afternoon. The vessel left the
bay to ride it out. For several hours
she struggled against wind and wave
and was badly battered. Heavy seas
smashed the rudder. The ship start

vessel crashed on the rocks about 800
yards from shore.

Frantic attempts TO launch life
boats were made. They capsized as
they were lowered into the tremen-
dous seas. Their human freight was
tossed on the rocks by the breakers
or drawn back into the angry seas.
Men, women and children perished
in the seas while others remained
huddled on deck crying piteously and
in vain for help.
Through the roar of the storm, the
shrill blasts Of the ships whistle
sounded continuously, calling for aid.
Above the bedlam the sharp report
Of Commander Ismael SuareZ' pistol
rang out and he fell dead at his post
on the bridge.
The vessel had filled rapidly with
water and three hours after she
struck was virtually buried under the
wvaes. Then the ship broke in two
and the few who remained aboard
were thrown into the sea. One OF
the survivors, Jose Aguila, an army
conscript, said in a hospital at Belen:
