 TRAGEDY

ST. AWARE, France, June IA. (B-More than 400 men, women and children were drowned yes terday when a hurricane capsized the excursion steamer St. Philibert.
 Dozens of harbor craft picked their way across the Bay of Bis cay with lookouts scanning the water for bodies. Eight persons were rescued and eight bodies were recovered
 It is believed 460 were aboard when the vessel left; it is possible others escaped death but have not yet reported.
 The toll of the disaster is esti- mated with as much accuracy as possible at 442 dead The St. Philibert, a flimsy 100-foot river steamer, put out from Nantes with a crowd of picnickerS on an outing run by a labor organization and was steaming down the river to St. Nazaire and across the bay to the Island of Noirmoutier.
 Most of the passengers went ashore The weather was threat ening when they started on the return trip and when off Point Pest Gildas the storm broke in sudden fury. The passengers Stampeded to the leeWard side which threw the boat off an even keel and it turned over, spilling human cargo into the ordinarily calm waters of the bay which be- came a maelstorm of struggling humans.
 The majority sank without a chance for their lives Cries of the nearly drowning out-howled the storm; the strong current evil dently carried scores of bodies to sea.
 Most of the passengers were of the working class affiliated with socialistic societies and party.
 A lighthouse keeper was the first person ashore and sensing an i'm pending tragedy, telephoned for help. Life-saving crews put out and tugs and patrol boats arrived but the scene of disaster was merely a gray expanse of water dotted with few survivors and bits of Wreckage.

popular these hot summer days
