Trapped on a narrow ledge 1,000

Cardoni, a surveyor, huddled In
danger of death today as rescuers
fought to reach him.
Snow swirled about the moun

down, clung to the clifT through a
bitterly cold night.
Cardoni was a member of a far
north mining camp surveying
party. He became separated from
the other members and was
trapped on the preclpltlbus slope.
Hoping to reach the summit of
the mountain and descend by an
other route, Card9nl continued his
climb. At 1,000 feet he was caught
on the tiny ledge. Extending up
ward was a sheer cliff, 600 feet to
the peak. Downward was a
straight drop except for the way
up which ho had come and over
which he could not return.

YOUTHS UNEARTH
MORE GOLD COINS
Baltimore, Sept. 4—(UP)—Dis
covery of a new treasure trove of
about |10,000 In old gold coins was
reported today by two Baltimore
youngsters who Just a year ago un
earthed $20,000 worth of ancient
coins from a basement hiding
place.
Revelation of the new discovery
was inude after Theodore Jones,
17, one of the youths, reported that
part of his share of coins amount
ing to about $3,800 had been
stolen from his home.
Police questioned Jones and his
companion, Henry Grob, 18.
The boys said that last June
they h*d gone back to the cellar
where the first $20,000 was dis
covered and started digging again.
They said they found another $10,
000 but kept the discovery secret
because of litigation brought on
by the original find.
Police were somewhat skeptical
Of the story, expressing belief that
the Boys might have hold out the
$10,000 from the original find. Re
peated questioning, however, failed
to shake 4he tale.

That Have Been Struck

All Veterans’ Camps
Hundreds Were Killed—One of Those Rescued De
scribes Horrible Scenes, as He Saw His Buddies
Swept Away to Terrible Deaths
BY HARRY GASKIN’
(As Told to the United Press)
(Copyright, 1935, by United Press)
Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, September 4 —
(UPK— After waiting all Monday afternoon on the tracks
of the' Florida East Coast Railway waiting for a train to
move us out of Veterans’ Camp Number 1 on Upber Meta
combe Key, the hurricane hit up at 7 p. m., and blew us all
over the nlaee.
“Wc Wont Through Hell”
We went through hell from then
until 3 o'clock the next morning.
Then it began to let up a little. I
was hanging to a telephone pole to
keep from being blown away —
that’s how I smashed this hand. A
railroad tie—It felt like It. Any
way, crashed into the pole and hit
my hand. Before my eyes the hos
pital was picked up to a height of
50 or 60 feet and blown at least
three blocks. For a moment it
seemed that I was only dreaming
to see that big building lifted like
a paper bag in a breeze.
Saw Buddies Swept to Death
I hung on to that pole for dear
life, although at times, when I saw
my friends, my buddies, being lifted
across the railroad trucks and into
the water, I felt like letting go to
try and save them. But I realized
the fultlltty of such an idea.
The waves broke almost up to
the tracks. I could hear the
crunch of buildings as they were
being smashed to silvers.
Above the thunder pf thet waves
and through the roar,pt the storm
I heard screams, human ‘screams
that I knew must have come from
a buddy. „ ,
Many were killed by flying
boards and planks. I was almost
hit several times, but God was with
me and those things flew right
past.
The relief train finally did get
out to our camp. But it didn’t
stop. It went right on by and
out over a high-banked trestle.
Then we didn’t see it again.
We heard later the train was
blown off the trestle into the
oceun. All I know is it didnt
come back, although we screamed
after it for help.

and I’m afraid We won’t see many
of them again. I’ll bet when the
relief workers get down there they
won’t find a quarter of them alive.
I haven’t begun to tell what I
saw. It's all too horrible, too much
of a nightmare.
It was one of those things where
vou begin thinking whether it
wouldn’t be better to die than to
fight against what we who live had
to fight.

Miami, Florida, Sept. 4—(UP) —
The extent of death and destruc

which battered Southern Florida
grew hour by hotir today as re
ports trickled in over meagre com
munication sources from devastat

Estimates of 'the dead, all in
complete so far and some uncon

between 200 and 700.
The estimate of 700 dead was
made by the Miami Beach Tribune.
The newspaper quoted two War
Veterans from a camp on upper
Metacombe, one of the Flor

o fthe storm, as saying that 605
men had been killed there and 47
were missing.
That report received some sub

Miami, Sept. 4.—(UP)—Rescue
ships awaited calm seas to-day to
begin transfer of 366 passengers
and crew in lifeboats from the
Morgun liner Dixie, hard aground
on French reef, ID miles off the
Florida coast since Monday night.
An exchange of messages Inter
cepted by the Ft. Dauderdalo, Fla.,
coastguard base revealed that res
cue craft standing by had been In

One message said, "All ships
standing by Dixie head for ship’s
bow and come alongside on port
side. Shallot reefs ubeam, amid
ships and astern. Sea still break
ing over reef but moderated, if i
transfer is effected please land |
passengers and crew at Miumi as

The prow of the modern, luxuri

ther and further onto French Reef,
a coral, formation at tho eastern
end of the Florida Keys and ID
miles southeast of the mainland.
But the ship was In no Immediate
danger either of breaking up or
capsizing and the subsiding seas
that yesterday prevented even an
attempt at rescue of her passengers

tho accident would not result In
loss of life.
Captain Finer \V. Sundstrom
wirelessed his owner, the Southern
Pacific Steamship company, that

2 BUDDIES ARE
CARRIED TO SEA
ON TIDAL WAVE
Thought Everything Was
All Over—But Landed
Back on Shore
BY E. H. SINGLETON
(As Told to the United Press)
(Copyright, 1B3S, by United Press)
Homestead, Fla., Sept. 4.— (UP)
—My buddy and I rode out to sea
on a tidal wave aboard a floating
shrck. Just about when he thought
it was all over with us. we found
ourselves safe on land again.
It was one of the wierdest ex*
perlences of my life.
When the storm hit our camp, i
i buddy and I went to a shack to !
stay there until the hurricane blew j
over. ISut the wind crushed the ;
shack and we crawled out of tho
m^ss of splintered wood.
Just then we saw another shack
floating toward us. It looked pretty
solid. As it came by, wo dived In
through a window and hung on aa
best we could while it rolled and
tossed.
T hey Turned White
Finally, the shack rolled over on
its 'side. We looked out another
window and what we saw made us
turn whiter than we weVe. We
were tiding the back of a huge
tidal wave that was carrying us
out to sea, faster and faster.
I thought: “Ohf man, here's the
• , d of everything."
A few minutes later we felt the
shack bump. We rolled around in
side like dried peas In a pod. Then
the rolling stopped. We lay still
and looked at each other, wonder
ing: "What's next?"
Finally, we crowded on our hands
and knees to where the door was.
We wondered what would happen
If we opened It. Would water pour
In and drown us like trapped rats.
Wo decided to take a chance.
The sight that met our eyes
made me believe there was a Santa
Claus.
For there wo were stranded on a
slight elevation on the key.
