.' MANILA, P. l., November IA was
in bed when the Silverhazel grounded
at o'clock last Saturday morning.
There was scraping sound, little
shock, and then five blasts Of the
whistle sounded.
George. my husband, and went to
about two-thirdS Of the ship broke
away and sank an hour later. Before
it sank attempts were made to launch
two lifeboats. Waves smashed them.
The fore portion Of the ship rolled
dizzily It was wedged between the
rocks, and could see several islands,
also a lighthouse a half mile away.
Ships Pass BY Flares.
All Saturday and Saturday night
we remained on the ship. mostly lying
on the deck, where we were sheltered
from the waves. Saturday night two
ships passed by us, but failed to re-
spond to our flares.
Whenever we were hungry or thirsty,
we opened cans of salmon or milk, or
ate candy bars which we obtained in
the hold. Rain was our only drink
ing water, but we had plenty of brandy.
Chief Engineer F. j. Clayton sang
for us with Scottish burr. We
Joined him, but were silenced when
extra big waves crashed aboard the
wreck. But later we sang again.
We never were in panic. and as far
as know, nobody prayed.
Sunday Capt. H. A. Lennard reached
the rock IL feet away on cargo
boom. Later breeches buoy was
rigged up, and we all went to the rock
which was about 80 feet long, deciding
1t was safer there.
We stayed in small tents made from
tarpaulins. Sometimes We were doused
with spray and rain.
Sunday night two ships again failed
TO respond to our flares.
Early Monday an interisland motor
ship, the Gov. Taft, turned her search
lights on the wreck. We cheered
wildly. The skipper had seen the light
house keepers bonfires. Soon after
ward the japanese freighter Chicago
Maru arrived.
Rescue Efforts Prove Futile.
e Tuesday morning when the destroyer
Peary arrived, there were six ships
hanging around, but all had failed
repeatedly to get boats or line to us.
When a big wave broke over the
rock Tuesday. the captain decided We
had better return to the wreckage.
Then the crew started building RATS
from the lumber in the deckload.
One raft broke away Tuesday night.
Three Lascar seamen jumped into the
water, swan to it and climbed aboard.
When the raft carried them toward the
ships instead of toward the high cliffs
OF San Bernardino Island on which the
lighthouse was situated, we were en-
couraged. We decided to try to escape
by RATS Wednesday morning.
Sixteen officers and Third Officer
Smith went first. Thirty-one others
were preparing to leave when the raft
broke loose and the officers shouted
for everybody to go over.
We jumped about 20 feet into the
water. Nine swan to the raft and the
rest got hold of planks. George
reached the raft and I clung to
plank.
never could have made it if Seamen
G. Harding and H. A. Mattgewson and
-Boatswain Mate Founder had not
helped me. I was in the water about
Is minutes and was unconscious at the
end.
We lost all of our clothes and new
automobile We were taking to Manila.

RUBBER STRIKE
THREAT FADES

International News Service
Possibility Of a strike in the
rubber tire industry lessened to,
day with reports that Coleman
Claherty, A. F. of L. organizer at
Akron, had been called to Wash,
ington for conference with Will
liam Green and other labor lead
ers.
At the same time it was learned
that Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins was in New York confer
ring with representatives of the
manufacturers.
Mr.. Green refused to comment
on a statement made last night
by Frank Dillon, organizer in the
Detroit automobile plants, who
declared automobile workers would
follow the rubber workers if they
decide to strike.
Labor leaders have been advis-
ing the rubber workers to refrain
from strike on the grounds that
the union is organized in not over
18 per cent of the industry and
that public sentiment in the coun-
try, and especially in Akron, is
against a Walkout.

Urging the construction of a

Zone Of the greatest made

"The murderer, the house

has no home. There are no
facilities for segregation"
A child strayed from home, and
whose parents have not com
municated with police, is also
placed temporarily in the Home
These children, if under seven
years of age, are placed on the
girls floor, regardless of sex.
Mr.. Grady reported:

that the rental of the present site
at 816 Potomac Ave. S. E. is ex.

reports that Senator Prescott had
upbraided him for calling upon
the attorney general to assist in

was reported to have said:

HAS NO REQUEST
There appeared little prospect
of the defense obtaining the pur.
ported confessions before the hear

dane and three men accused with
her. Attorney General O'Conor
told a Times reporter in Annapo.
lis:

the defense makes would be

Mr.. O'Conor declined to say
when he would enter the case Of

Mr.. Prescott said:
81 have written to the attor-

show them to me, but it has
been the practice to show the
defense such instruments"
Of the reported dispute with Mr.
Pugh, he said:

Investigation of the asserted
