They told of re- j markable heroism by the Havanas crew, many ot whom were aboard the ill-fated Morro Castle, after the, New York-Havana liner piled up on Mantanilla Shoals, 60 miles east of Fort Pierce, Fla., threatening another major ship disaster.

The crew of the Morro Castle was accused of cowardice by many passengers,' | but passengers of the Havana had high praise for its conduct. Seaman Steve Fauslas, in charge |of one of the lifeboats, kept it afloat single-handed three hours after it had been swept by a huge ! wave. The greatest act ot heroism was by a passenger. Mrs. Sonia London. of Mexico City, and her two I children, Elias, 3, and Fannie, 2, were swept out of a life boat by ; a wave, too far for rescue. With a child under each arm she swam for italf an hour. When taken aboard the Oceano. Elias appeared dead. Seamen revived him. Out at Mantanilla Shoals where the Havana still was held fast, seas were reported subsiding and the ship was said to be in no further danger. Captain A. W. Peter-
