Cling to Hatch
Clinging to a hatch cover for
six hours in the 75-mile-an-hour
gale, three survivors drifted ashore
here yesterday to tell the story Of
the tragedy.
The three survivors were Del

brother, Harry, both of Whining

mountainous waves swept away
the pilot house, tossed the steam

shifting the cargo.

swept out into Albemarle Sound

A Sailboat was feared to have

aboard. George r. Zorn was
drowned late yesterday when the
first blast of the hurricane struck
off Longport, N. j., floundering
his cruiser.
Office workers in some of the
bigger Manhattan skyscrapers
were apprehensive over the hur-
ricane, but their fears were need
less, engineers reported. The New
York buildings, most of which
were constructed to allow for a
sway of from 10 to Is inches in
gales, withstood the winds easily.
Property damage all along the
Jersey shore was heavy, many
highways were flooded with ocean
and rain water and covered with
sand and dirt. Automobiles were
abandoned when they became
stalled by blocked roads or wet
motors.

attached to the lifeboat as another
wave boarded us and swept me
into the ocean about 20 feet from
the hfeboat.
I was pulled aboard.
We were at the mercy of the
angry waters, but the men, with
great courage, rowed about for
some time in desperate but vain
effort to pick up comrades who
had been swept overheard.
Our little boat then drifted for
three or four miles while the sur
vivors prayed for protection from
the treacherous waves, any one
of which might easily have
smashed our craft to matchwood
if it had struck us broadSide.
Finally, we sighted a coal
barge near the Delaware break
water. 1t was the Hallowell in
Command Of Capt. James VeStra
Of the Eastern Transportation
Company. Captain VeStra and
three sailors tossed us a line and
we kept our craft 30 feet away in
fear of being dashed to pieces
against the sturdy sides of the
barge.
With daring bravery, the barge
crew hauled us aboard and gave
the "a of us dry clothing or
blankets in which We wrapped
ourselves. None of the men ap-
peared any the worse for their
adventure and narrow escape
from death.
Seven Still Missing
This morning at dawn Coast
Guardsmen, out of Lewes, sighted
us aboard the barge. We were
taken aboard the cutter and land
ed at the Consolidated Fishing
Company's dock here.
The pier had been our destina-
ton, but we had expected to reach
it aboard the Inflated Long Island
with our cargo of fish.
I was happy to learn that Del
mar George, the captains son,
Richard McQuillen and his
brother, Harry, had drifted ashore
safely on a hatch top.
There are still six men missing
after discovery of the bodies Of
Captain George and another mem
Der of the crew, and I pray they
have made land safely somewhere
along the beach.

Buddy Lewis is off again. The
youngster stood up and smacked
Whitley Wiltshire for a single in
the first inning. 1t is remarka-
BILE the way Lewis crowds the

Lewis went far to his left in

Hayes. Lewis had to break fast
on the ball to make his play.
Whitley Wiltshire made

by Joe Kuhel in the second in

"I'm on even terms with ALI

eve of the draw, land have just
as good a chance of playing as
he does. If I'm picked, I'll
guarantee you I'll make hard
fight against Australia"
Allison was conceded to have a
slight edge over his youthful rival
by virtue of his experience and
title, but Grants extraordinary

in the doubles with Mako on the
theory that America might better
concentrate on winning three of
the singles.
