women and frightened men. Senora Renee Mendez* Capote of Havana told the United Press how she crawled desperately through a narrow window of her suite with flames all around her and managed to reach a lifeboat. As the morning wore on, bodies and some living humans, saved by their lifebelts were being swept ashore through the pounding surf, along the New Jersey coast. One of the most dramatic of such incidents came when Mrs., Mary Robinson of Richmond Hill. New York, was hurled through the breakers, semi-conscious and delirious after more than five hours of exposure to the waves and storm. “Where is my daughter, where is Lucille." she cried continuously | while Red t’rross officials gave j her first aid treatment in the fire i station, which had been turned ! into an emergency hospital. No word of her missing daugh-1 ter had been received. Mrs. Robinson leaped from (he burning ship clad in her night-' clothes and the hastily tied pre-j server, and swam nearly all of the ' six miles to land, buffeted by the I s tori'. “Lucille wore a white evening i gown. We must find her,” she. sobbed. Among others who were brought safely ashore was Mrs. Florence Roberts of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. John Messick, secretary to P. A. e >. Franklin, head of the International Mercantile Marine, announced that the Ward line would tnko surviving pasengers to New York today by special train, probably over the Pennsylvania road. Among those treated for shock, at the Fitkin Memorial hospital. Spring Lake, was Antonio Mata, 19. of Havana who swam the eight miles to shore without a lite preserver. 4-H Club Winners At Indiana Fair — The following boys and girls attended the State Fair, Sept. 1. as winners of Adams county 4-H Club shows: The Misses Miriam Hoffman, Dilling.
