There was no hysteria," Miss
Steiler said. I'VE all sang. The
death which seemed to face us was
discussed with unprecedented free
dom. Fear seemed unknown"
IF We could only have felt as calm
as the Dixie crew acted. everything
would have been fine" said Mrs. ]. G..
Fisher of New Orleans.
The terrible experiences Of the
night at sea have been obliterated now
by the wonderful heroism of the
crew." Mrs. LYDIA L. Sturr of Newark,
N. j., said. "Of course, we were
paralyzed with fear when the lights
failed and we were ordered to don
life belts"
The graphic story Of the first night
Of repressed terror was told by Edward
B. Brommell of New York City.
The hull was pounded up and
down by the waves and we were forced
to take refuge in the saloon" he said.
After the vessel had been driven on
a reef by a wind said to be 100 miles
an hour at the stern, the crew did
everything for our comfort.
Short -circuiting caused the lights
to burn out at one time. 1t caused
small blaze. quickly extinguished by
the crew. Several suffered bruises.
Not a soul was hysterical."
The presence of mind of the crew"

was credited by Miss Doris Bent Of
Lynn, Mass, with doing much toward
averting panic.
They went about their duties so
quietly and efficiently that it reas-
sured every one" said Miss Bent.
Similar comment came from DR..
and Mrs. S. F. Hughes of Pawtucket,
r. I.
Mrs. Hughes and I were In our
state room," said DR.. Hughes, when
suddenly we felt sickening jar. as
the ship went aground. We rushed on
deck and saw mountainous waves
pounding the side Of the ship. or
course we were frightened. but tried
to remain calm. But 1t was only the
efficiency of the crew, reaSSuring pas
sengers, that prevented what might
have been a serious panic"
A railroad washout contributed to
the grounding of the Dixie, said Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Rather OF Sunny

Ship Waited on Train.
A train bringing Dixie passengers
from Western cities to New Orleans.
Rather explained, was delayed i hours
awaiting repairs to washed-out track.
AS a result the Dixie left New Orleans
seven hours behind schedule.
The rain started at IL am. the day
Of the storm, but we expected 1t would
be over soon," said Mrs. Rather. IN
stead the winds increased and the
waves rose higher and higher.
Water flowed into the port holes
and flooded state rooms, forcing occu-
pants of some into the music room.
1t was there that some passengers
were injured by being rolled back and
forth on the floor. Members OF the
crew worked marvelously. They en-
tertained us with cheerful lies to mini
mize our danger"
Woman's Hip Fractured.
Efforts to aid another passenger
brought a fractured right hip to Mrs.
c. H. Colgin OF Brownsville, Tex.
II had started to walk across B deck
to aid an old lady who appeared to
be in distress when the craft struck" ="
said Mrs. Colgin. II was thrown across

heavy chair struck 1t from the other

the cause of the accident was not fall

Among other things in the report
were statements that:
Radio technicians at Los Angeles

That the failure of the two-way re-

That the ground station personnel
at almost all stations between Kansas
City and Los Angeles did not observe
commission regulations regarding sta

That in four cases. ground stations
were negligent in attempting to COM

schedule:
That the radio personnel, particu-
larly at Kansas City, was too engaged
with other work to make proper log
entries
That inspection of the radio equip

BOUNDARY DISPUTE

Federal Counsel Reaffirms
Claims in Cases of Lands
Along Runs.

The contention that the District
of Columbia line runs to high water
mark on the Virginia shore Of the
Potomac continued today to be one
Of the principal points made by Fed
eral counsel in closing arguments
before the Virginia District Boundary
Commission.
Judge G. A. Iverson, special as
sistant attorney general, who opened
arguments for the Government, took
up in great detail the questions in
volving lands in dispute, principally
along Four Mile Run. Reaches Run
and former marsh land at the air
port.
Iverson told the commission Fed
eral counsel had had some discussions
with counsel for Alexandria and that
he hoped some method could be
worked out to agree on the disputed
line between Alexandria and the Dis
trict Of Columbia. He did not tndi-
cate what the agreement may be.
The Federal counsel said one Of
the principal precedents to support the
Federal claim was the noted Smoot
Sand & Gravel case, In which the
Supreme Court held the District Of
Columbia line goes TO high-water
mark on the Virginia shore. as Of
1871, when Maryland ceded the prop
erty to the United States.
He contended the title obtained by
certain Virginia parties to disputed
property, where they had paid rs cents
an acre because lands were considered
then to be waste and unappropriated,
would not hold.
Judge Iverson has associated with
him Henry H. Classic, Special AS
sistant Attorney General.

Army Fingerprint
Experts to Identify

BY the Associated Press.

Two Army fingerprint experts
were ordered to Florida today to
help in identifying World War
veterans killed in the storm.
They were Samuel G. Sacco
and Oliver H. P. Clark. With
them they will take fingerprint
cards Of all veterans reported in
Florida at the time of the hur-
ricane.
Thus new fingerprints can be

woefully inadequate facilities at Snake
Greek. which was as far as the relief
workers on land could go with am
bulance service All Tuesday night a
one-armed pilot of little outboard
ran back and forth through the
dangerous tip of Windy. carrying the
wounded veterans who had been in
camp there. Yesterday a few more
men with their gallant little "kikkers"
came in to aid them.
Horror IncomprehensibIe.
To those who have not seen Isla
Morada and Matecumbe, the horror
of this hurricane is incomprehensible.
We live here CMiamD in houses more
or less sheltered, with great buildings
of steel and concrete nearby for an
emergency. Down on the keys there
was nothing like that.
And. the veterans, those pitiable
souls who have been tossed about
ever since the World War. What Of
them, as they perished down there
where Death laughed in unholy glee
as he prepared for his prolific
harvest?
They never had a chance
At Camp No. /, on Windy Island,
they were caught in bunkhouses
which were as so much stacked
wood when the wind struck with
terrific force. 1t is a miracle that
so many we're saved.
Most Of those fellows, they tell
me- are the old bonus army marchers,
sent down here to work, chiefly be-
cause the Government didn't know
what else to do with them.
I saw their bodies down there
pretty much as I had seen bodies
long, long ago on the hillsides and
In the trenches. And it seemed Just
a bit too cruel to toss those men
into the path of Old Lady Death. far
down on those tiny islands. But,
then perhaps to many of them it
may have been just another-and at
least the final-cruel quip of fate.
I saw big, powerful man, sitting
upright on the road. He wore blue
denim Jacket and overalls. nothing
else. Beside him sat little boy of
about S, his hand wrapped in a
great ungainly bandage, shirt ripped
open.
Too Dazed to Talk.
The man sat staring into space
What is your name?" I asked. He
lifted his head and stared at me.
Don't you remember your name?"
asked, trying to help him. Still he
stared vacantly at me, saying nothing.
I walked away. Soon two other
men came up to him. One, knew,
had been searching for his family.
They began talking.
Il lost flve-four of my babies and
my WIFE" said the man who had
refused to talk to me.
"All mine are gone" replied the
searcher. I'm all alone, now, there's
nothing left-nothing
Il lost my mother, and my sister,
and my wife" said the third.
And then those three men, natives
OF upper Matecumbe for many years,
broke down and sobbed, out there
among the dead they could not find.
We'll. I'll be thankful I got this one
left said the first man. "Mebbe
they'll take us in before long"
Slowly he arose, hobbled painfully
to the landing-and said nothing as
the boat pulled away leaving him
staring vacantly into nothingness, his
injured son standing weary and tear
stained beside him.
