half blinded by the heavy spray that
drove through the broken windows on
the bridge. Passengers on the ship at?
ribute solely to the skill and prompt
action of the officers the fact that tho
Gothland and the Menominee drove
past each other fifty feet apart instead
of crashing together.
At 7:15 a. m. September 25 there was

the crest of a tremendous sea. All was
Hack again, but the captain decided
quickly. He outwitted the elements by
reversing one of the engines. The ves?
te! careened at an angle of 42 degrees,
but there was no danger from this
move, for every one of the passengers
vas below. The deok under the bridge
wai awash. Slowly tho shin righted,
bat at the same time was lifted by a
wave and cast down the incline, passing
the Menominee by less than fifty feet,
according to one of the officers.
The tension among the men on the
bridge lessened somewhat then, but
?iaey ?till realized the danger of the
ifcio being carried back toward the
freighter, which could hardly have

?fleers. Shortly after, another rift
revealed the other ship some distance
astern, being tossed about, but no
lonrer in dangerous proximity.
When the Gothland came up the bay
?sterday wtih her 402 passengers, she
locked as if she had juet come out of
the dry dock, having been painted and
cverhauled. There were no signs of
the damage doen to the ship, and even
the brine that a liner ordinarily car
r.ei into port after having weathered
iaeh a storm had been removed by a
?rah coat of paint on the scarred
?*?*, including the funnel. A? soon
m ft? storm moderated, the captain
wlered every member of tba crew to
Jit tesy, make repairs and improve
fctrapperaance.
Cittain Bastin modestly declined any
??it for bringing the Gothland safe
hinto port, explaining that it was her
stanch construction and that alone
that was responsible for her victory.
The Gothland, a steel twin-screw
li?'r of 7,660 gross tons, was built in
??S3 at the yards of Harland & Wolff,
*sd is commonly referred to es King
George's yacht, for the vessel was used
by him, when as the Prince of Wales,
he chartered her to make a trip to
Australia. ,
Captain Bastin, an American citizen,
thirty-one years old, is one of the
youngest commanding officers on a
trans-Atlantic liner. Ho is a lieu?
tenant commander, U. S. N., retired,
and has been granted master's licenses
from the Belgian, English and Ameri?

The Mountbattens Talk About
Beaver, the Follies and Politics
The Royal Honeymooners
Planning Glorious Time
During Their Visit Here
By Frederick^.~Edward3
They said to us: "Go up to the Ritz
and interview Lord and Lady Mount
1 batten."
What we did was to go up to the
Ritz and join in bombarding with fooi
questions a couple of delightful chil?
dren who are having a whale of a time
on their honeymoon.
Lord and Lady Mountbatten sound a
whole lot more terrifying than they
are. In actual fact, they are not tcrri
| fying at all. They are young. It hard
? ly seems possiBle, but there it is. A
? name like Lord Mountbatten conjures
the rupposition that its wearer must

i white burnsldes and has the gout ant.'

j uncouth and all reporters pests.
If Lord Mountbatten thinks reporten
are pests, he conceals his feelings bet

Royal, but Pleasant
The Mountbattens are royal; he i
I King George's cousin. As long a
Great Britain can tie up to royaltie
: like the Prince of Wales and Mount
i batten, there's small danger of an
King of England having to buy himse]
a nice piece of real estate in Holland.
There were half n hundred or a
newspaper men and women in th
room when we arrived, including phc
tographers, and the visiting royaltie
enjoyed it.
Even when tho elder statesman of tr
reporters persisted in asking quostior
about matters of great internutiom
import, they edged away graceful
and without betraying alarm.
And when one of the earnest-soul?
women in the gang persisted that Lac
Mountbatten must be contemplatir
some sort of a career?politics, perha]
?Lady Mouni-batten's reply was c
tirely without a sting.
She simply said, "No, I don't thii
so. You see, I'm married now."
They asked her if she thought boh
married was a career for a woman, ai
she paid:
"Well, isn't it?"
The writing woman didn't nnsw
that one.
Lord Mountbatten said ha rath
thought it was somewhat of a caree
and then, of course, Lady Mountbatt
would have her charities.
Lord Mountbatten didn't know abc

and was enjoying it.
"We're going to see some baseball,
and some plays, of course; and?
there's a funny thing, a chap I know
named Savory called up yesterday,"
Lord Mountbatten went on. "He's an
old friend. We're going to dine with
him here. First name? Archibald, I
think. His father was an Admiral, or
something like that. Isn't that jolly?"
"No, I'm not terribly interested in

A woman writer asked if she didn't
think that if thero were more old

She said she thought there would.

Postoffice Lock Used
In 1798 is Unearthed
From The Tribune's Washington .Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.?A
century and a quarter old, a bat
fercd old leck, hand made, and
.bearing the inscription "General
Postoffice, U. S. America--1798,"
. has come into possession of the
Postoffice Department, and will be
placed with other relics of the
department in the Smithsonian
Institution.
It was sent to the department
by Rufus S. Smyer, postmaster at
Birmingham, Ala., who acquired
it from Charles Schwend, who is
in the lock and key business in
that city. Schwend obtained the
lock about fifteen years ago when
an old darkey asked him to make
a key for it, ?aylng that his old
"Marster" in South Alabama had
given it to him before the Civil
War.
them, tennis, shooting, golf?but she's
'fraid she doesn't play a very good
game?and she hunts?'Yes, of course."
Somebody asked Lady Mountbatten
about "beaver," and that started some?
thing. Beaver is the new London pas?
time.
"Oh, don't you have it hero? It's
ratlier fun. "iou go along the street,
and if you spot a chap with a beard
you say "Beaver,' and that counts fif?
teen points. A chap with a white beard
is a polar beaver.' He counts thirty
points. You score like you do in ten?
nis, and the ch?p who wins out makes
the other chap buy a drink see?
"But there's a better one than that,
a new one. An Amerioan invented it.
It's called Decameron. They got the
title out of a play^that's running over
there just now. The play's all about
a girl with a beauty spot on her back,
'you see. So you pick out the girls with
beauty spots, and every one you see
you say 'Decameron.' and that counts
fifteen points. If sno smiles at you,
that counts thirty. It's an awful good
(fame."
"Hasn't anybody been arrested?"
asked the elder statesman of the press
gang.
"Rather not; what for?" asked the
Britisher, "An awful lot of chaps aro
buying razors, though," he added.
The Countess Zlchy, who has a
previous acquaintance with Lady
Mountbatten, was announced at this
juncture and the party went to the
roof to face the photographers. They
stood it like veterans.
They wouldn't say whera they were
going this aftornoon.
"That's just what we're trying to
keep you from finding out," Lady
Mountbatten said. "But some time in
the next few days we're going to climb
the Woolworth Building and visit the
Statue of Liberty."

Mrs. Stillman
; Expects Filial
Victory To-day
( Anticipates Confirmation
From Conrt o?* Recom?
mendations of Referee
Declaring Son Legitimate
: Banker to Continue Fight
Counsel Prepared to Appeal
Decision; Justice Mor
schauser Reviews Case
The crowning touch to the victory of
Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman and her
i baby, Guy, over James A. Stillman is
expected this morning, when Justice
Joseph Morschauser, of the Supreme
Court, hands down his decision on the
recommendations of Referee Daniel J.
Glenson.
Counsel for Mrs. Stillman are confi?
dent that her sweeping victory will be
confirmed, leaving the former banker
with two alternatives?to appeal to the
Appellate Division or to giv? up his
"fcng fight to prove misconduct on the
part of his wife and the illegitimacy of
Guy. His lawyers havo indicated
clearly that he will fight to the last.
At a hearing before Justice Morschau?
ser in White Plains yesterday Colonel
William A. Rand, counsel for Mr. Still
i man, characterized the findings of the
i referee as "erroneous to any jtair and
unbiased mind."
Justice Morschauser was prepared tc
conflnn the referee's findings yester
day, saying that as he understood the
law the court was required to study th<
records of a divorce case only when thi
referee recommended tho granting of ?
divorce. Since the report hnnded dowi
last week made no mention of th?
granting of a decree and since Mrs
Stillman has not asked for a divorce, hi
could confirm tho report without study
he said.
John P. Brennan and Isaac N. Mill?
appearing for Mrs. Stillman, and Johi
E. Mack, for Guy, urged Justic
Morschauser to study the record. The
cited decisions in which reports con
firmed without study have been upse
and told the court they were anxlou
to avoid tho possibility of a reverse
in the higher courts on this ground. A
j this request, Justice Morschauser re
! tired into chambers aftor tho hearin
j and worked until midnight reviewin
j the case. He accepted briefs on tli
referee's report from both sides.
After John E. Mack had moved f(
confirmation on br-half of Guy, M
Brennan declared that the referee he
heard all tho evidence and had filed
report denying a divorce to Mr. Stil
man.
"Yes," interrupted the court, "th
appears to havo been a matter of pub]
notoriety."
Colonel Rand opposed the motion

erec's report be confirmed. Ho declar
that two motions pending before sp

Mr, Mack, seeking* confirmation of t
report. Both orders were returnable
October 7, Colonel Rand pointed out
I A summary of his argument was p
I sented to the court in advance and t
court understood that the summi
represented the sum total of what Mr. '
Stillmnn's attorney? had to say. When
Colonel Rand moved to dismiss the
?ourt rule dpromoptly:
"Motion denied!"
"Well," remarked counsel for the;
plainaifr, "if your honor feels that ?
way there, is no use in my arguing."
"It. *.s your business to say that vou
want to be hoard," said Justice I
Morsrh-uisor, expbin^ig that he had ;
not understood that Colonel Rand
wanted to argue. At this, Mr. Still- (
man's counsel said he would present ''
nc further arguments. Then he made '
a formal motion for the reversal of the !
referee's report, remarking:
"I oppose this motion and ask that !
tne report of the referee be denied. To '
any fair and unbiased mind the con?
clusive testimony shows that the find?
ings of the referee were erroneous."
Justice Morschauser denied the plea.
After announcing his determination tii

was* content that the decision be held
