 Aboard s. s. America, Jan. 2l (By Wireless to The Associated Press)- On our homeward bound voyage we experienced a succession of westerly and northwesterly gales with 8 very high rough sea accompanied by heavy snow and hail squalls. On January P we received sos. calls from the American steamer Danne- daihe and the Italian steamer Flor ida both vessels giving their posi- tions in latitude 3s north and long itude 60 west.
 We ascertained then that several vessels were in their vicinity but only enc had a radio compass and the dis dressed vessels could not be located 70 we decided to proceed to their as- sistance about noon January 2z. We were then $50 miles north of their reported petitions.
 Covered With Ice
 We were covered with ice in freez- ing weather and having violent snow and hail squalls with a heavy gale. Chief Radio Operator NJ lson Smit n was stationed at the radio compass direction finder and took bearings continuously.
 We proceeded on these courses. The bearings of the Florida were er- ratio. That is they appeared so be- cause they were not checking or agreeing with his reported position.

71 YEARS OLD LAST SUNDAY

Relatives Were Planning CclebratiO0
 Of Ills Birthday-Held Virtually
 Every Public OAsce During IAfe
 in Ncishboring Community.
 While relatives were planning ! gala celebration of his Fist birth day and a family reunion to take place next Sunday. William Harvey Gibney. former first selectman of Berlin for 13 years and for many years prosecutor in the Berlin town court, died unexpectedly at 17:30 o'clock this morning in West Rocky Hill where he had been residing, from heart disease.
 MT. Gibney was born in Meriden on January 20. 1858. observing his list birthday last Sunday. He re- sided in Berlin for 4s years. Besides being first selectman and prosecutor, he was . deputy sheriff for three terms and held practically every office at some time or other. He was a member of the Sons of Veterans.
 Power for Many Years
 During his oaicial life in Berlin Mir. Gibncy was power in that corn- munity. He was looked up to as the head of the government and hia opinion was sought on all matters pertaining to policies of administra- tion. He held an unbreakable grip on the office of selectman for many years. Although rival candidates sought to oust him from the re- publican nomination for selectman. he defeated them time and again and as easily defeated candidates of the opposition party who sought to gain his seat.
 No man figured more prominently in Berlin affairs. The republican party put it's faith in his leadership year after year and the faith was never misplaced. aS study of past election figures will show. He wal known almost as we'll in New Brit ain as in the town of his residence. A history of Berlin would not be complete without reference to hia activities
 Mir. Gibney Is survived by five sons, William Garfield. Norton H, and Howard J.. all of New. Britain, Roy of Seymour and Earl of Water bury; a daughter, Mrs. Walter Hor- ton of New Britain and . sister Mrs. William H. Hunt of Meriden.
 Funeral services will be held Sat- urday afternoon at o'clock at the Berlin Congregational church. Rev Samuel A. Fiske, pastor. will ofli- ciate. Burial will be in the Maple cemetery.

He takes no exercise but walking, but
his health is excellent. Aside from his
collections, he spends far less money
than many a junior partner, not because
he is nipgardly. but because his tastes
are simple. He collects early American
portraits and is an expert in judging
Rembrandt Peales and Gilbert Stuarts
and Sullys. He has some splendid
Gainsboroughs, too, and fine collec-
ton of Hawthorne ware and Chinese
porcelain.
His only noticeable idiosyncrasy, if
it could be called that, is his preference
for little cigars, so tiny that the ordi-
nary cigar smoker would fined them diff
ficult to handle. But they rather typify
in their delicacy his own personality.
