salik station, which advised us that the steam trawler Lord Tal- bot would reach us within two hours.
 '~ We had taxied near theFjord by now, but still were unable to get ashore. We spent the most miser- able hour our our lives riding in the sea.
 We decided to make another at tempt to reach the shore. We finally made it.
 The amphibian was being pounded on the rocks and break ing up. We had to unload in hurry.
 The land was barren, no wood, no vegetation, no animals or birds. We had salvaged little food. The snow storm continued. It was bit- ter cold.
 We started making camp. We made signal fires at once, using a little oil, film, and grease as fuel
 At dawn, when the tide was out, we reached one wing of the plane and took off the canvass cover. We used this to make roof for our camp.
 Altfilisch had repaired his radio receiving set and we could hear the news from Angmagsalik that three trawlers, a motor launch, and an airplane were looking for us.
 The children had colds. Their feet were swollen and bleeding from landing on the rocks. We used life preserver covers to make shoes for them.
 ,i-h ;yo oh If 10 D. m. we saw a light, which seemed to be some 10 miles at sea.
 We realized that if the ship passed us, we might. never get off the Fjord. We used our last fuel and our last flares, stalking every thing on attracting attention.
 We won! The ship acknowledged, our signals! We were overjoyed. Slowly the ship. the Lord Talbot. worked it's way through the ice fields. and after three hours it was waiting an opportunity to send a boat ashore.
 It was too cold to sleep. but. we were too happy to sleep, anyhow. At dawn the Lord Talbot lowered a lifeboat, and we got aboard.
 Just as we left the Fjord, a huge iceberg crushed the remains of our plane.
 Captain Watson and his crew. all Scots, gave us a hearty wei come.
 our plane performed 100 per cent, and the extreme weather caused the end of our flight. have ordered new SIkorsky for delivery in New York. We are proceeding on the Lord Talbot to- ReykJavlk. Iceland. and thence io Edinburgh. Copenhagen. and New York.
 Everyone is well.

 But Mrs Du Bois left the Love- joy home that evening, never to return. Mrs Lovejoy thought il strange that she did not come or send any explanation. Frazier didn't appear, either, indicating authorities declared, that Mrs Du Bois never had an opportunity to instruct him.
 Soon after sun-up to-day big corps of police resumed dragging operations at Great Herring pond on whose shore is located the Du Bois summer home. The work would be continued, they said, un- til ever foot of the bottom had been combed.
 Meantime @ guard was main- tained around the Du Bois prop erty on Middle street, Braintree, where the couple once lived. A new cement wall was laid on the north side of the garage to the property less than two weeks ago. The work was done by Larry Fra zier and his brother, Walter, at the Q1TGCIlOn Ol Du lcOlo, uCCoAuAHS " Walter.
 State Detective Joseph Ferrari said that unless there were definite developments in the invstigation within 24 hours the wall would be torn apart.
 Miss Grace Atwood. "A, attrac- tive blonde daughter of wealthy Middleboro manufacturer, was in seclusion on Cape Cod to-day after identifying herself as the mysteri- ous blonde seen in Du Bois' com- pany following Mrs Du Bois' dis appearance.
 At Dedham to-day, District-At- torney Frank H. Coyne of Vest chester county, in which Du Bois Tuckahoe, N. Y., home is located, was to consult with Assistant Dis trict-Atotrney John V. Sullivan of the local investigation.

 Senator T. P. Gore of Oklahoma telegraphed: democrat in Iowa should be put Tn jail on election day, you would carry President Hoover's native state anyway. Congratulations on the results in Maine. It foreshad- ows victory in November. Oklahoma will go democratic by at least 100000, R. M. McCool democratic state chairman, in- formed him.
 The governor replied: Thanks for your wire and it's forecast of great victory. My impression of Wednesdays hap penings lead me to believe that Kansas will be out after Oklaho- mas democratic record" Governor William H. Murray of Oklahoma also promised a demo- cratic victory. Governor Harry H. Woodring of Kansas ventured a 50,000 democratic majority for his state.
 The Topeka speech was the first of four major ones Roosevelt will deliver on his tour. Utilities and their regulation will be discussed in his Salt Lake City address, it was believed.
 The nominee, it is understood, may elaborate on his agricultural views at the address scheduled for Sioux City, Iowa, on the return east. Because of the location of that place in relation to the farm belt, the governor feels, his advis- CTS said, that such a talk would be strategic campaign move.
