Weed tried to beach her, but her tragedy moved too swiftly.
 @tl1l several miles from shore, ne ordered the life boats lowered and uaesengers. including several in- fanfs, were taken off. The Algon- qnin picked up five boat loads, total of 8e passengers. Among them two babies, and 5S seamen.
 The Limon rescued 21 from one IifebOat, By that time the Coast Guard cutter Champaign had made her way alongside the three small Coast Guard vessels had reached the scene from the Jersey shore
 FrcightcP Not Badly Hurt
 The TaIisman apparently had nov been seriously damaged In the cor Iisfon, although she appeared 10 De taking some water. She stood py to aid in the rescues.
 One of the Coast Guard surl- boats, commanded by Boatswaih 1T. D. Futile, and another under bOatswaln NJ. H. Hymer. came alongside the Lmon at a point the Coast Guards believed to be about 20 miles southeast of Manasquin' ". J.
 
 Futile said later. There was some 1oE. It was extremely cold.
 We began taking the survivors off the Limon and transferring them to the Champlain as the Li- mon was to continue southward.
 I've had to use ropes to lower those poor fellows from the Limon. They appeared actually to be fro- nh n Ia their arms or legs.
 "Again we had to use ropes to get them from our boats to the Cham plain.
 i've later circled the area where the Mohawk was believed to have gone down. We saw nothing until we came upon two lifeboats, lashed together. One was full of water. only it's bow showing"
 Uncertain About Boats
 The Coast Guards were uncertain whether the two lifcboats had con taiKed passengers from the Mo- hawk or whether they had broken loose from the sinking ship, although the fact they were dashed together indicated they had been used.
 The Champlain and the Algon- quin proceeded to New York har- bor, the Champaign landing its 2l of crew and one passenger, r. s. w. Richardson of Needham, Mass. At Staten Island and the Algonquin putting in at Brooklyn.
 Search of the waters off New Jersey continued, the Coast Guard sending out four life boats to join in the apparently vain search for other survivors.
 Although the Ward Line insisted ali passengers had been rescued, a careful check of all vessels en- Gagsd in the rescue left 13 passen- gers missing. Thirty-nine passen- gers and 78 members of the crew were aboard rescue vessels. The Mohawk carried 58 passengers anu Q crew of no.
 Launched Eight Boats
 The Coast Guard said 1t had &C., curate information that the Mo- hawk launched eight of her 10 life boats before she heeled over and plunged to the bottom last night two hours after she was rammed amidship by the Norwegian freighter. Five or these. contain ing 3S passengers and 5S of the crew were picked up by the Clyde Mallory liner Algonquin. One. con- fafning 2l of the crew and one passenger, was picked up by the United Fruit ship Limon.
 The Coast Guard cutters Cham vlain and Icarus searched the wat CTS off Sea dirt and Bayhead all night without success. At dawn the Champiain put in to her Staten ls- land base with 22 survivors she had taken off the Limon. while the Icarus stayed at the scene to lead surf boats in the search TOT the missing life boats.
 The Talisman hove to until dawn when she lifted anchor and under reduced steam headed for her New York pi .r.
 Captain Unaccounted For
 Una.eounted for was Captain J. ID. Wood of the Mohawk. whose effi-. .ency immediately after the crash aroused admiration Of sea men ashore. Wood either was m one of the two missing boats. II was believed, or he had carried out the ancient sea tradition Of the master accom- panying his vessel to Davy Jones' locker.
 ward line officials maintained Optmiism. believing that unaccoun- ted for passengers were safe on board the Champiain and Iearus These vessels were too busy direct ing the search to communicate ful- Iy with shore for hours. The Uni. ted Press learned that neither had picked up survivors.
 The Champlain has 2t of the crew and one passenger aboard, but these she had taken from the Limon. which still was standing by before continuing her voyage to Central America.
 Five Women Missing
 Among the missing passengers were five women and Prof. Fl. F. Cfeland of Williams College. Four children. all under [, were among the Mohawk's passengers when she sailed yesterday for Havana and Vera Cruz, but they, fortu- nately, had been placed in life- boats picked up by the Algonquin.
 The Mohawk was the third ward liner to meet disaster with in five months. The luxury lln- -
