Louis Johnson, mas- ter of the ill-fated ship, at last had de- cided to abandon his broken craft. Capt. Johnson has been aboard' the after portion of the ship since early Sunday, when it was driven ashore by resistless breakers and broken in two. One member of the crew lost his life and 30 others were taken off in groups, but Capt. Johnson sternly refused to leave. The gritty skipper stuck to his wreck even after agents.of the 'States Line, owners of the Laurel, had issued orders for him to abandon ship. Several ef- forts were made by Coast Guardsmen | and others along the shore to coax | Johnson off, but he remained, presum- ably to prevent any one else laying | claim to salyage. Shore watchers at dusk last, night saw Johnson; Wearing a Iife. belt, emerge from the wireless shack above the bridge and work his way through the flying spray to the top of the super- structure. Then a long pole was raised and the breeze unfurled the bit of sig- nificant cloth. ; FOUR PLEAD GUILT IN IDAHO KIDNAPING | Youths Identified by. Lieut, Gov. Kinne to Be Sentenced Tomorrow.
