her sweetheart.
"Oh, daddy, I didn't mean to take
the baby-I didn't mean to-" the

han. told magistrate he and his
wife think an example should be
made Of this girl, If only to protect
other children"
Miss Wood said she wanted Ger
aid to replace her own child, who
died four days after birth.

Survivors, First Question
Are Others Sofe?'

BIRKENHEAD, England, June 3
(P).-Frank Shaw, one of the four
Thetis survivors, suffering from gas
and shock, aroused himself long
enough this morning to inquire
about his companions
Are the others Safe?" were the
first words he asked his wife when
he awoke momentarily from long
sleep under the influence of seda-
tives
Mrs. Shaw told him she did not
know whether the others would be
rescued. He dropped of to sleep
again.
The 3O-year-old, blue-eyed wife
of the shipyard worker beamed with
happiness as she told Of her hus-
bands return shortly before o'clock
last night.
His first thought was for his
friends" Mrs. Shaw said. Many
OF these men have been his COM
panions for years and one of them
was one of his closest friends.
Il could not tell him the bad
news, because the doctors told me
he must not discuss the disaster
until he was recovered. I was given
very strict instructions not to let
him see any one. He hasn't even
seen his children yet.
ut is hard to realize how happy
I am because of his safe return,
but I can't keep from feeling sad
because of the disaster which took
our friends"
She was unable to explain how
her husband happened to be chosen
as one of the first to leave the
Thetis.

Pictures Suggest
Diving Rudders
IOf 7hetis Stuck
b. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June "a study of pic
lures of the stern of the Thetis
made while a part Of the boat was
above water yesterday suggested to
some naval experts this theory of
how the vessel became stuck in the
mud:
The hydroplanes-finlike rudders
which control the rise and dive Of the
boat-were shown still to be in div
ing position.
The boat was carrying out one of
her first dives. 1t is not unusual for
the hydroplanes to be somewhat
stiff in early trials, and not to func-
ton as quickly as they should. In
this case the dive apparently con-
tinued past the intended point and
the nose went into the mud at the
bottom of the bay.
Often commander by manipula-
ton of his engines and sometimes
by making the crew run aft in a
body shifts the weight to wriggle
free and come up.
It was theorized that some ex-
ternal fixture of the Thetis hull had
become embedded in the mud and
acted like the fluke of an anchor.
The sharp angle at which the
Thetis was nose down indicated that
the hull was damaged seriously, per-
nitting the forward torpedo COM
partment to be flooded.

First Man 10 ESCAPE
Took Daring Chance
To Aid Others
Copt. Dram Not Aware
Rescue Vessel Was
Already at Hand

LONDON. June 3.-The first man
to escape from the sunken Thetis did
so in a daring attempt to save his
trapped companions without know
ing whether help was at hand on the
waters surafce, rescuers disclosed
today.
Altogether only four. men escaped,
all by use of the Davis lung" an
oxygen-supplying mask.
This first man up was Capt. H.
P. K. Dram, who commanded the 5th
Submarine Flotilla, for which the
Thetis was intended. After he came
up, the other three proceeded after
getting signals from, rescuers.
Signal Not Yet Given.
Capt Oram." said a seaman of
one of the rescue ships today, did
not come up as result of any signal
to the submarine. Those in the
Thetis had no idea whether their
position was known.
He was most surprised to find the
destroyer Brazen there and to be
picked up Immediately"
The Brazen had been about to
give the service signal to the Thetis
for abandoning the ship by det-
onating a number of charges under
the water.
THE signal was then given" the
seaman continued, "and three more
came to the surface, but no more.
I was told that Capt. Dram had
left instructions to abandon the
ship when the signal was heard.
1T seems pretty certain that
after the last escape one of the
doors of the escape chamber be-
came jammed and no others could
get out
THE air was very foul in the
submarine and the older men were
suffering. That is why Capt. Dram
decided to take a chance

To Stop Two Hours
In Saskatoon Today
Thousands Converge on
City From os Far
As $50 Miles

SASKATOON, June canadian
Press "A hundred thousand sub
jects from farm, city and forest
massed here today to greet King
George and Queen Elizabeth on ar
rival at 2 pm. for two-hour stay.
The vanguard of the invading
thousands reached Saskatoon yes
terday. many coming in trucks and
automobiles from communities more
than $50 miles away. Indians from
Northern reservations were here,
along with an estimated 10000
school children.
An official welcome at the station
and an 11-mile procession through
gayly-decorated streets were on the
program. The King and Queen par
ticipaed in 12-mile procession and
dinher yesterday in Edmonton.
Reception Vociferous.
Edmonton's six-hour reception was
as vociferous as anything Canada
has provided the King and Queen.
1t lasted from the moment the
royal train slowed down until the
final wild burst Of cheering with
their majesties standing on the OBJ
servation platform as their train
pulled out for Cloverbar. a siding
9 miles east of Edmonton, for the
night.
At the state banquet last night
King George spent most of the eve
ming talking to Premier William
Aberhart of Alberta. Earlier in the
day some observers credited the
King with smoothing over local
political friction by paying special
attention to Mrs. j. c. Bowen, wife
of the provincial lieutenant governor,
whose two daughters sat in the bal
cony of the legislative chamber with
out being invited to meet the King
and Queen.
Interpreted as Snub.
This was interpreted as a "snub"
by Premier Aberhart. Another in
depreciation, however, was that the
King knew about the local political
situation, but was doing only what
he had done in other cities where
he walked into the legislative cham
ber with the wife of the provincial
Premier and, after the welcoming
ceremony, left with the wife of the
provinces Lieutenant Governor.
During yesterdays presentation at
the capitol Irish-born Joseph Haire,
aged 103, ended his talk to the King
by saying:
You are a great King. but sooner
or later we must all meet a greater
one"

Assistant Secretary Charles Edison
