NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Morgan
Line officials awaited a survey of
salvage experts this afternoon to
learn how and if their liner Dixie
can be moved from French Reef
off the Florida coast They were
certain the ship would be saved,
else the salvage company would
not have accepted a contract on
a mo cure, no pay" basis, they
pointed out.
A. S. Hebble. builder of the
ship, is at the scene of the dis
aster. He will know how much
stress the ship can stand and the
salvage company will then decide
on the method of moving it.
There are several possible pro-
cedures. First divers must deter
mine the external condition of
the ship and how it rests on the
reef. Then the ship may be pulled
to either side. pulled backward
of the reef, or a chinnel cut
through the reef and the Dixie
pulled forward. officials said.

MIAMI. Fla. Sept. 5.-The crack
| Morgan Liner Dixie listed desertedly
on French Reef this afternoon after
transfer of all remaining passengers
! to rescue boats which had been
standing by.
Capt E. w. Sundstrom, master
of the Inflated vessel. remained be-
hind with skeleton crew for eff
forts to free The Dixie from the reef
where she was driven by a raging
hurricane Monday night.
The passengers were transferred
in boats to rescue ships that had
been gathering near the Dixie since
few hours after her S o S went
out.
Most of those removed today were
to be brought to Miami to join the
n passengers and 54 crew members
brought here before dawn for trans
| fer to special train which will take
them to New York, their original
destination.
Praise Captains Courage
The passengers praised the sea
manship of Capt. Sundstrom, master
of the Dixie and commodore of
the Morgan Line fleet. They be-
lieved they were in the very center
of the hurricane Monday night
when they were thrown onto
French Reef.
Capt Sundstron. cool courage
and level head and the courage of
| his officers and crew saved the
Dixie and their lives. they said.
Luck too played it's part. If the
storm had not diminished slightly
and moved on, the Dixie might have
been smashed to bits before it could
ever send out its S o S, the
passengers said.
Little difficulty was anticipated
today in removing the remaining
passengers The sea, though still
rough, was calming and the strong
wind diminishing.
/ 1t was believed the Dixie could be
pulled off the reef, though it may be
necessary to heave her cargo over
board and empty her oil tanks. She
will be towed to a shipyard for ex-
animation Though battered, it was
not believed the $3,500000 liner had
been damaged beyond repair.
Passengers Never HySterical
The Rev. F. A. Wekenman of San
Diego, CAL one of the passengers,
praised the officers and crew.
They worked in perfect accord
and deserve the highest credit for
their courage in the face of disas-
ter and their wonderful morale,
which never wavered," Father
Wekenman said. The passengers
kept their heads marvelously and
did not once let any thought OF
confusion enter their ranks. There
was mass singing aboard the Dixie
Monday evening when We went
aground to keep our spirits up.
Many of us prayed.
About 8 Monday night we put
on life preservers and. regardless
of the terrific mental strain, there
was no hysteria.
When our rescue ship left the Vi
cinity of the Dixie there were about
IA others standing by, waiting TO
take off passengers. All in all, feel
that would be voicing the opinion

thank God for the we'll disciplined
crew. the efficiency of its officers,
and the important fact that we are
