14 HARRIED BY HURRICANES SCHOONER REACHES PORT AFTER AWFUL EXPERIENCE VL. -4 '_Jta li ■ * - 4r J. ° « HEAPfB J* IAMAOW Ml / BARBADOS^ IS. 0 VOYAGE OF TWELVE DAYS LASTS MONTHS Captain Troop and His Crew Spend Whole Win ter at Sea KKW YORK, April 22.—'Til be with you and the kiddies for Thanksgiving dipher. Make it a royal spread," wrote Capt. .lolm R. Troop of the three mast edr s'hooner Laconia to his wife in Bgooklvß just before he sailed from F»:ili.s\vcodville, New Brunswick, on Noy. 1 tor Xew York. He had not been home for six weeks, and he looked forward to the coming reunion with keenest anticipation. The L*conia"S-eached port yesterday, having Jit-en buffeted thousands of miles out of hr course, and Capt. Troop then suw his wife and children for the first time in seven months. Battswoodville is 500 miles from New York, and the Laconia generally makes it in twelve days, but the craft was driven to the Barbadoes, 4,000 miles from her course, and was out from Battswoodvile just 162 days. v ■ During the intervening time he and his crew of six men had battled with an unending series of hurricanes. ■*i\ Fell at the Pumps Mo worked at the pumps until they fell exhausted, - spars were carried away, the compass went by the board, and water, entering the cabin, destroy ed the charts in their racks. The ship's stores were spoiled and to the other, terrors that beset the crew was added- that of starvation. Still the storm blew, driving them day by day toward; ttftd-Atlantlc.: During the worst of the storm, at midnight of Dec. 17. Mate Johnson was at -the. wheel. Green water swept the ship frem-stem to stern. Her remain ing- shreds of canvas were driving her uncertainly as she plunged-and rolled to the seas. The crew were wearily toning at the pumps, each man lashed aChis post. ... v Suddenly the Laconia drove her nose out of sight in a green wall of water that arose before her. The wave broke with full force upon Jacobsen. His powerful grip on the wheel was broken and he was slammed against the cabin The ship fell off her course. The mate's assistant, sprang to his aid in time to save him from going overboard. The storm struck the Laconia three days out from Battswoodville. Hurri carie followed hurricane. For weeks and weeks the vessel struggled. Christmas day broke clear. The storm had somewhat abated, but the sear was running high. In the early morning the lookout sighted a passen ger steamer. Signals of distress were displayed and the liner hove to. She •was recognized as the British steamer Iniiianapolis. .'.Bring us provisions and a chart," scaled the Laconia. "<\-'i:'t launch a boat In this sea," was the; lug liner's signal. "You send a yawl." " A boat was lowered, but so complete ly.had ..toe-sea wrecked it that the mo ment it-struck the water it opened out like a paper box in the pounding seas and s;mk. * '! "•W >■ Stand by to take off crew," sig nrflted ftfe Indianapolis, when the fail ure 10 launch a boat was noted. Capt. Troop looked over his wearied tojfc worn crew. til stay with the ship," he said quiet ly.- <"Wlfo*wants to go?" He ca-Jlijd'the roll of the fo'castle and earn man took his longing eyes from tli£ liner long enough to nod his head. •Aft h:u;efcig repaired until March 25, when The-set sail*for New York, refitted with nef ' olumbia, ureed that some of the "noes" had been withdrawn, but the lent general held that all had not been withdrawn and that the election of Mrs. McLean was not unanimous. Mrs. Donald McLean, the president general-elect, was elected chairman of the Continental Memorial Hall com mittee, the action beinj? in accordance with precedent; after whioh tho thanks of the congress were extended t i Mrs. Fairbanks. During the announcement of the newly elected state regents, Mrs. Me- Lean was' escorted to the platform. She presented to President General Fairbanks a floral star, the emblem of the New York City chapter, and said that the star was the pledge of loyalty of the chapter to the national organiza tion. Mra. McLean said that in addi tion to the sentiments expressed by the floral piece, she desired to pr»-s.-nt Croat the New York City chapter a practical testimonial in the form of checks for $1,000 from Mrs. James H. Aldrich: $100 from Mra. James W. Randall and $100 from Mrs. A. J. Rob inson as contributions to the Conti nental Hall fund. Children of the Revolution A construction of the constitution as to the admission of members of Children of the American Revolution to the Daughters of the American Revolution was discussed. A motion by Mrs. Day of Tennessee, which had I'm imitated the discussion, finally was passed. By it the national board la directed to interpret literally the con stitution as it now stands. This will enable members of the Children of the American Revolution of eligible age to become members of the D. A. R. with out the payment of initiation fees. A proposition was made by Mr.-. Elizabeth C. Williams of Maryland that the society take steps looking to the deposit of the remains of John Paul Jones at the naval academy at Annapolis. Amendments were offered requesting that the remains be depos ited in Philadelphia and I'r^d.i icks burg, Va. The question was laid on the table. A resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a committee to wait upon the fifty-ninth congress to obtain permission for thf Interment in the national cemetery at Arlington of the remains of Pierre Charles IVEnfant. Mrs. Murphy of Ohio offered a res olution, wh:«h was adopted, providing that the president general appoint a special committee to promote the in troduction into the public schools of the United States of the system of a "school city." The idea is to promote the teaching of good citizenship In the public schools and induce the school children to govern themselves in their schools. Renews Attack on Mormonism Mis. Goode of Alabama brought to the attention of the congresa the Mor mon question In a. sensational state ment. She declared that thr> Mormon -hurch was violating, througli its lead ers, the laws of the land; that it was i treasonable institution owing its high esf allegiance to its own organization, and that it was a stain on the name of the United States. She offer ed, therefore, this resolution. "That as descendants of patriots we most earnestly call upon the national congress to pass such remedial legisla tion as will put a stop to !>olygamy and polygamous living and political control of the Mormon hierarchy and that this congress also urge the United States senate to vote to refuse Reed Smoot of I "tab, an apostle of this church and one of its highest offi cers, the right to continue as a senator of the United States. And that we fur ther urge an amendment to the federal constitution, making polygamy under whatever guise or pretense, a crime against the^United States." Mrs. Allen, state agent of Utah, claimed the right to second the reso lution, her position being taken on purely patriotic grounds. She said she wanted the word "church" eliminated from the resolution and the word ••hier archy" substituted. "This is a hierarchy we are dealing with," she declared, "and the over throw of the government is what it is aiming at." The change was made. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. Mrs. Richardson, ■" state regent of South Carolina, presented to President Qeneral Fairbanks a drawing of the Fairbanks coat of arms and another bearing the insignia of the Palmetto state and the names of the 1». A. EL chapters in that state. Goes to St. Cloud for Life PEBOUS FALLS.
