8 DAYS AT SEA

Motor Boat Sighted by

BIZ tuifcd Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Two men
were rescued today by a coast
guard cutter outside New York after
they had remained for eight days
in a disabled, open motor boat while
hundreds Of ships passed all around
them.
They left Rockaway beach on
Oct. 25, and were not seen again
until the cutter picked them up to-
day in a serious condition from
starvation and exposure, though
many ships had passed them with
out realizing they were in distress.
The men are David Warssauer, 81,
and his brother-in-law, Irving

Brushed by Liners

Their hunger was intense by the
fourth day and they had begun to
suffer from the bitterly cold night
winds. Once a liner came so close
to them they could see passengers
waving at them. They waved back
desperately, hoping to attract at
tention, but the liner continued on
its way, not realizing the mems
distress.
Warshauer collapsed Monday in
the bottom of the boat. During the
night, another liner alight from stem
to stern passed near them and
though Tuchner shouted until he
was hoarse he could not attract at
tention. He sank down into the
bottom of the boat and almost per-
ished in the nights cold sea winds.
While the police airplane sped out
to get the two men in an effort to
save their lives special instructions
how to care for the men in their
weakened condition were sent by
wireless.

Rescue Plane Sent

The story of the mems rescue was
revealed in a radio dispatch from
the coast guard cutter Cuyahoga
which sent a New York police de-
partment amphibian to sea to pick
the men up and bring them in to
the Brooklyn Harbor hospital.
The cutter was steaming lazily
along this morning 1876 miles north
of New York harbor when the look
out saw the idle motorboat. Through
his glasses the cutters captain saw
two prone forms in the bottom of
the boat and Immediately altered
his course.
The men were so exhausted they
hardly could give a coherent story,
but Tuchner revealed how the mo-
torboat had broken down soon after
they left Rockaway beach and the
boat steadily had been forced out
to sea.
They treated it as a joke at first,
thinking some boat would come
along and tow them in, but after
the third day the seriousness Of
their situation became apparent.

TIME Of FUPTURN
UNCERTAIN, AS
INEVITABLE
Spectator Says Successful
Bear Attacks on Stocks
Seem Due Soon for Upset
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May. 16.-One Of
the most successful bear attacks
Of the entire 1929-1931 decline at
tanned its objective in forcing the
market into new low ground for
the long downturn, and the gen.
eral stock list enters for uew week
in a more or less uncertain posi-
ton.
It has been rarelv in market
history that a decline has ex.
tended for seven consecutive ses.
sions without some interruption,
but the leaders of the movement,
rather than easing up on their
pressure, have decided 70 push
their advantage to the limit.
Forecast Impossible
Under the circumstances there
is no telling just when the IN
evitable reversal will take place.
1t must be kept in mind that
the lower stocks are forced. the
easier becomes their decline as
stop-loss orders and forced liqui-
dation Is encountered on an in.
creasing scare. However, regard-
less of the ultimate destination
of the market. the time appears
close at hand when the over
confident bear cohorts are in for
an upset.
With 19 stocks commanding
premiums in the loan crowd;
with leaders such as U. 8 Steel,
American Can and New York
Central, giving up ground out OF
all proportion to their record OF
past achievement, and with Virtu-
ally every trader chalKing up
profits on the doWnside, the hand
writing on the wall forecaStlng a
turnabout. possibly as vigorous as
the decline that preceded, is
gradually becoming more and
more distinct.
Electrical Equipment
Standard Statistics does not as
sumo a very optimistic position
toward the electrical equipment
stocks, pointing out that there
is little expectation of materially
increased operations throughout
the industry before fall at the
earliest.
At current levels, the majority
of issues in this group are not
fully discounting the restricted
1881 outlook, in its opinion, and
accumulation of these stocks
should be delayed pending either
lower quotations or the immi-
nent prospects of improved
profits.

SELLING FLOOD.
D RAPS RAILS
HARDEST
AtchiSon Leads With 9-Point
Drop, as 3. & 0. Says 4 and
Other Issues Seek Bottom
BY w. S. COUSINS

= NEW YORK, May 1S 0.N.S).
A flood of selling orders for the
leading railroad, industrial and
, utility stocks, which started at
the opening bell and continued
without a let-up into the early
afternoon, carried prices steadily
downward today.
The rails we're the heaviest
losers, some Of the favorites
breaking under the lowest levels
in five to ten years and with re-
actions of 5 to 8 points. After
its early break under 100, Amer
lean Can fell away steadily be-
low 81. for a new loss Of 3 points.
U. S. Steel Breaks
United States Steel held stub
bornly above 100 for about an
hour, but was forced under par
in the second hour and settled
down too 80 an hour later. This
is the lowest price since 1924,
without taking into consideration
the 40 per cent stock dividend
paid in June, 1927. and compares
with the 1929 bull market high
of 1914.
Atchison's S-point drop to 152
was a feature Of the weak rail
list, but New York Central'S
action was equally discouraging
to the bulls in the rails. Central
fell off to 831s for a loss Of Az
points and recorded the lowest
price since 1922, when the stock
sold at 1924.
b. & o. Loses 4 Points
Baltimore and Ohio fell off 4
points to 541a. Northern Pacific
was down 4 points at 80; Union
Pacific down 6 at 1854; Delaware
and Hudson down 312 at 1875;
Southern Pacific down Az at
1874; New Haven down 312 at
6512; Illinois Central down IA
at 5234.
Wheat, corn and cotton fol-
lowed the general downward price
trend, September and December
corn registering new low prices
for 1881. Cotton lost so cents a
bale. Bond prices sagged and
call money was unchanged at l u

81 ON GROUNDED SHIP
RESCUED BY ANOTHER
Passengers Now En- Route to Rio
While Western World Waits
for Divers and Tugs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, August g.
Eighty-seven passengers Of the south
bound Munson liner Western World
were en- route to Rio De Janeiro to-
night aboard the vessel General Osorio
while the Western World awaited as
sistance on the rocks. She was
grounded before dawn of windy and
dangerous Ponta do Boi, north Of
Santos.
A Munson Line tub from Santos was
expected to arrive tonight with divers
and surveyors The Brazilian gunboat
Santa Catharina and the naval tug
Laurindo were due by morning.
Meanwhile the crew of 1855 were not
in danger, according to word reaching
here. They were operating pumps and
keeping the vessel intact except for the
first and seconds holds, which were
flooded. The ship struck the rocks in
thick fog.
The General Osorio took of the pas
sengers during the afternoon and
started for Rio De Janeiro, from where
they are to be taken to Buenos Aires
tomorrow or Monday.
