CRIPPLED STEAMER TOWED NTO PORT Soviet Ship Brings Sole Sur- vivor of Italian Boat It Crashed. By the Acsociated P SOUTHAMPTON. England. February 25.—The Soviet training ship Tovarisch was towed into this port tonight with a battered navigating lantern still hang- ing entancgled from the chains of her bowsprit which had wrenched it from the ill-fated Alcantara when the ve sels collided last night in the thick fog overhanging the Strait of Dover. The Tovarisch showed a great dent in her stem extending for some distance on both the port and starboard sides. Her commander. Capt. Friedmann. showing siens of the terrible strain of the 24 hours which have followed unon the sinking of the Alcantara. was too exhausted to talk. After a hasty meal he dropped into a deep slumber. Members of the crew related the al- most miraculous escape of Pavon Gion- vanni, the only known survivor of the Ttalian steamer. He was found cling- ing to the bowsprit chains of the Tovar- isch after the crash and was hauled on deck uninjured. The inability of the Russians to understand Italian. which is the only language he speaks, pre- vented them from learning exactly how many men went down with the Alcan- tara. although they were believed to | number a score. The captain of the tug which brought the Tovarisch to port said that. al- though the vesscl's bow was full of water and her stem badly buckled, she was in no danger of sinking NGTED RESTAURANT FAILS Favorite Boston Closed by Bankruptey.
