The man who said that truth
IL stranger than fiction" must have
known the three Hutchinson sis
tiers, because their story is just
that: stranger than fiction.
II started more than 40 years
ago when the three sisters were
separated due to family trouble.
1t ended today with all three
sisters together again.
The reason they are together is
because the son OF one sister did
some repair work for another and
asked questions.
When he received the answers
he knew he had found his mother S
lost sister.
THEY'RE ALL so HAPPY
The sisters. Mrs. Nelson Gould.

Harry Titus, "A, are staying at the
home OF Mrs Gould AZ 1889 DeN-

what tO do"
we were all separated when
our parents separated" Mrs.
Gould said, "and for 30 years I
didn't know where they were.
my son. Floyd, promised me
he would find them for me some
day. and sure enough he did. OF
course he only found one of
them, but that one knew where
her sister was and so we got
together,

The Fortress crewmen revealed

DISASTER AVERTED

The Wakefield was in this con-
voy returning to the United States
after a successful and uneventful
crossing with the largest number
of troops ever ferried over the
Atlantic in a single operation.
Had she been alone and I'M
escorted the flames might have
taken a heavy toll of lives. But a
cruiser and two destroyers of the
convoy escort were alongside the
Wakefield within 10 minutes after
she broke radio silence to message:
II am on fire"

'1f II had been n bad night
with n rough sea, we couldn't
have taken off one-tenth of those
people not one-tenth," said
Capt. c. +. Bryant. commander
OF the convoy escort.
RESCUE SHIPS TANNED
Two hundred and twenty-eight
were taken aboard one of the de-
stroyers, and most of the remain
der were taken aboard the cruiser.
The rescued so crowded the fight
ing ships that they were forced to
sleep on deck under the few blank
cts and extra clothes available
Few of the rescued were able TO
save their luggage and possessions.
Commanders of the rescue veS-
sells pleaded with Bradbury TO
abandon ship for an hour before
he finally admitted the fire
couldn't be controlled. Those of
his crew who desired were rescued
early, but most of them chose TO
remain with the captain in the
losing fight. = gNM
Disaster struck quickly as this
convoy neared the port from which
ii had departed a month ago and
as the officers and members of
the crew were congratulating
themselves on a crossing with
perfect weather all the way and a
complete absence of enemy inter-
ference.
STARTS ON MAIN DECK
II struck in full view of hun
dreds of crew members and other
returning American nationals on
other ships of the convoy. On this
ship of the convoy commander, at
least a score of idle sailors and
officers. besides those on watch,
spied the first small plume Of
smoke that trickled from a point
just forward of the bridge appar-
emily on the main deck.
BY the time the word had been
passed along this ships telephone
to the officers in charge. the tiny
plume was pillar.
