ator aboard the Florida-he never left the key. If asked ques- tion the response was almost inn mediate. In addition he was send ing dots and dashes which we picked up on the radio compass to guide the America toward him. It was not until we were alongside that he left his room, his radio si- fenced by the clements.
 When the Americas lifeboat was near the Florida a and the rope stretched between the two to effect the rescue, many of the men had to call upon their reserve energy so that in one last desperate at tempt they could work, hand over hand, their way to the life boat. The injured as well as the sick there were four who had contracted pneumonia from eXposure-had to save themselves without any assist ance It was impossible for more than one man to travel along that rope at one time. It must have been very depressing to those still left aboard the freighter when the rope snapped. The gale was increasing in force and the seas getting high CT. Fortunately our men were in the best physical condition. They maneuvered and got close enough again to throw a second rope to them and the remaining Is Italians were able to abandon ship.
 Captain F1vaIoro, the last to leave, told me afterwards that he had two pets aboard, a canary and a dog. The dog he held under the arm with the crippled fingers until he was ready to jump into the sea He had planned to grasp the rope with his other hand He regretted leaving the canary, yet saving it was impossible The dog freed himself just as the skipper was getting set to leap. For a moment he watched it struggle in the water and then it was carried away. His first impulse was to follow his pet in an effort to save it. He realiz- ed, however, that this was not only dangerous but inadvisable, for the lifeboat crew was ready to start back for the America as soon as he was aboard and he did not want to jeojardize the lives of his men. So he left his home and his pets, tho greatest sacrifice a sailor can make.
 As soon as the men got aboard they were given first aid, stimulants food and dry clothing. Not one complained. They came aboard as they left their ship-in an orderly

 When the sos was finally broad cast the crew was in bad shape and the ship was listing heavily. The fresh water supply was very low and that portion of the food which was still edible was being doled out in small rations The men had been soaked to the skin for several days, and being unable to sleep under those trying conditions they were near the point of exhaustion.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The aid of science is being invoked by Seth E. Gordon, Conservation Di- rector of the Izaak Walton League, for the protection and building up of Americas game fish resources.
 While he sympathizes with Her rert Hoover's desire to reduce the time between bites" he says that problem of the sportsman has con cerned him much less than the dwindling chances for the man or toy of average means to fish at all
 Our best angling, like our hunt ing" he warns, lis drifting into he hands of the wealthy business and professional men of America. '
 About 250 of the Leagues chap ters are spending their time and money helping to rear millions of baby fish to a size which gives hem a chance to survive when re- leased in streams or lakes, he says. Several hundred additional chap lers are expected to take up that work this year.
 Calling on the Bureau of Fish tries for assistance, he declares the guidance and aid of more trained field workers are needed, and that more thorough stream and lake studies than have been possible in the past are essential to bring the desired results. Another way science can help, he says, is by convincing the public that fish are not fit for food during their spawning periods
