By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, August 17.-Prayers of
Thanksgiving were offered on the GUS
toms jetty today before the first DOL
lar Line tender left for the refugee
liner President Jefferson with 1877
American women and children.
1t was strange scene, barren of
JOY even among those fortunate
enough to escape the terrifying bonn
bardments and the threat of hunger
here.
There were no shouts of bon voyage,
no waving handkerchiefs, no steamer
baskets, no flowers, nor were there
any tears and long embraces.
Fathers watching their wives and
children sail to safety stood on the
pier until the tender disappeared down
the river Then they turned, silently
toward the embattled city.
Women Faces Show Strain.
The women, their faces lined by the
strain of long nights of impatient wait
ing amid bursting bombs and anti
aircraft shells, trudged YEARLY aboard.
Most OF them had suit case-their
only luggage-in one hand and child
or two clutching the other One baby
was carried aboard in an incubator.
There was no panic. There we're no
falntlngs. The women and children
had to go, leaving husbands and
fathers behind.
To identify the tender as a neutral
refugee ship officials stretched a big
American flag across an upper deck
like canopy.
1t was the crafts only protection
against the water front aerial, war
ship and artillery duel between the
Chinese and japanese along its peril

Jefferson's anchorage at Woosung.
Tenders evacuating British refugee
women and children were given q

Put Safely Aboard.
When the Dollar Line tender re-
turned late today from Woosung,
sailors and United States Marine
Guards who accompanied the refu-
gees brought word they had been put
safely aboard the jefferson
They told of women weeping with
Joy and relief to find themselves safe
aboard the ship, floating island of
refuge from booming guns, with nurs-
cries and food for their children.
Among those who left for Manila
on the President Jefferson were Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and her son
Quentin. Mrs. Roosevelt said she would
return to the United States by the
quickest route possible.
Seamen said the tender ran a CANT
let OF opposing fire, but that both sides
apparently respected its errand of
mercy.
They said the firing was almost
incessant during the whole run down
the 'Vhangpoo River, starting with a
burst of Japanese anti-airclaft fire at
Chinese planes that disappeared in
the clouds few moments after the
tender pulled away from the city.
