physical wreck and almost a mental
wreck. Tils wife and three children
are among tiie dead and missing. The
Erickson family got separated in the
confusion. Erickson and his son, how
ever, clung together and were pitched
into the water clear of the sinking
steadier. They floated around for some
time and finally wen- picked up by a
life raft on which wore a number of
the officers of the Walla Walla. It was
almost daybreak when thev were
found, and they uvre in an exhausted
condition. Father and son were pulled
on the light structure, but the boy was
too weak to stand the exposure/
A few hours later he died in his fa
ther's arms, and after the heart-brok
en parent had bowed his head in silent
prayer over the corpse of his son the
body was consigned to the waves- as
tenderly as it was possible under the
circumstances. AJ'br tiie body of the
boy had gone overboard the father be
came more and in.ire despondent. De
spite the advice of his companions,
time and time again he filled his hands
with water and drank it down. It is
thought he will recover from the tor

succumbs under his grief.
