Fried tells a gripping story of how he ma- neuvered the President Roose- velt in the first hours after he received the S. O. S. Once— after establishing contact—he lost the freighter and feared she might have gone down with all hands. But she was picked up again and the battle to save her human cargo got under way as a violent squall struck the vessels.) By CAPT. GEORGE FRIED (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) CHAPTER XIX—PART I The first real rescue in which I participated was when I was mas- _“My Thirty Years 99 o, 2 radio operator, Mr. Upton, was sta- tioned at the radio compass getting a bearing of the Antinoe every 15 minutes. These bearings indicated that he positicn was about 50 miles in error. Following the course of this compass 'the Antinoe was pick- >d up at 12:10 p.m. I maneuvered the President Roosevelt, taking a position to wind ward about 500 yards away. The Antinoe was lying in the trough of the sea, lissting heavily to starboard with high waves sweeping over her. Her engines were turning slowly and she was headed in a northerly direction, apparently trying to come up into the wind to heave to. But her steering gear was out of order. A large ice box had been carried from its regular place and in some way jammed the steering apparatus. “, . He missed the life line thrown to him and was carried away . .” | turning over slowly all Sunday a: taining a position about 400 yards to windward, the results were very satisfactory. I kept the engines ternoon and until 9 P. M. that evening. Frequent violent hai and snow squalis of hurricane force completely shut the Antinoe from view. Her warning . lights were axtinguished and her radio became silent. Several hours later the weather again, moderated. At- tempts to communicate with her by wireless failed and as visibility i creased M was apparent we st her. T did not know whether she had gone down with all hands or whether she was drifting helpless vithout steam and no means of rommunication. Monday I cruised back and forth in an effort to pick her up. Final- ly, about 1 o'clock, we agair ed her. The wind was now south- west and moderating. We took a position this time 200 yards on sight- ;1 her port beam and again pumped fuel oil overboard. | The captain of the Antinoe then hoisted signals to the effect that the was ready to abandon the ship, {but had no boats all having been swept away. The boat was low- ered with a long sea painter fore Frapping lines were used around the boat falls to steady it while it was being lowered. The crew, with life jackets on, was pull- ling away from the ship when a | violent snow and hail squall struck {us and kicked up a heavy sea. The |life boat climbed one of these heavy |combers and almost stood on end. The crew was tossed to the other rend and then into the water, but fortunately the life boat was right side up. In about three minutes all hands managed to scramble luboard again. | I ordered the life boat back and just as it was alongside, another heavy sea threw the entire crew into the water a second time. were close to the ship, how j|west coast.

He got within | fifty feet of the disabled ship and {then left the boat to swim the short distance. But he missed the life line thrown to him and was carried away. That was the last seen of him. The other man, Boatswain’s Mate | Heitmann probably was knocked | unconscious against the side of the ship, and he sappeared. It was dark now, visibility was poor and the storm was increasing in inten- sity. We used the searchlight to see if we could find the lost men, |but we could get no trace of them. We found the lifeboat and got di- rectly along side of it, but there was no trace of anyone in or near the boat. T continued the search for some time, but finally had to abandon it as it was hopeless. I maneuvered back again in view of Ithe Antinoe, so as not to lose sight of her. She was laying dead in |the water. Again we took a posi- Ition to the windward and once more pumped oil over the water, [ (Tomorrow: Antinoce Rescue, Part II) el MATTHEWS FUNERAL Funeral services for Mrs. Jose- |phine Scott Matthews will be heid | tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock |in the Northern Light Presbyterian {Church, Rev.

The SOS call from the British | freighter Antinoe was picked up by my radio operator at 5:40 am, Sunday, January 24, 1926. She gave her approximate position as latitude -46.10 north and longitude 39.58 west | . having taken no observation for 36 hours. The weather was overcast with fnow and hail squalls and a west- erly gale with a blowing force of ten. Immediately I changed our weourse and started for the position given, expecting to be in her vicin- -.~4ty in about three hours. My chief & I asked the Antinoe's master if he wished to abandon his ship, how many were in the crew, and if they had life belts. He answered that | he wanted to be given a little time, cure number’ three hatch and re- pair the steering gear. They were having difficulty in keeping up the steam because water was entering the fire room.
