GUTHRIE Preaches in St. Mark’s-in-the-Bou- werle to Renew Friendship Aft- er Long Discord. Administrative By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 14—An air of aceful solemnity pervaded St. Mark's- -the-Bouwerie yesterday, as an eight- year feud between Bishop William T. Manning and its rector, Dr. William Norman Guthrie, was ended formally. Bishop Manning withheld approval of the eurythmic dance rituals insti- tuted by Dr. Guthrie eight years ago, and since then the church has had no official connection with the Episcopal Diocese of New York. Recently, however, finances forced a discontinuance of the ritual, and a peace was made. Yesterday Bishop Manning preached in the famous old church at the confirmation of seven persons. The occasion brought a return of the old friendship between the bishop and Dr. Guthrie. Quake Felt in Rumania. BUCHAREST, March 14 (#).—A light earthquake shock was felt throughout Rumania early yesterday, but no dam- ®ge was reported.

ROUGH SEAS | BY DU PONT YACHT DESCRIBED Party Picked Up in Atlantic by Transport Just as They Gave Up Hope of Reaching Shore in Nahama. Richard du Pont. son of A, Felix du | Pont of Wilmington, Del. who with his brother Victor and four oiher young men was missing at sea for nearly & week | on the yacht Nahama, tells in the fol- lowing story their experiences during & heavy storm until they were rescued | by the U. 8.

The v\cutheri report forecast fair and moderate north- east winds, and we proceeded 60 miles on our course for Frying Pan Shoals lightship, logging approximately 5 knots per hour. Strong southwest winds forced us to heave to under the jigger sail alone at 1:30 a.m. Sunday. During the night the wind increased to a 60-mile gale.| In the morning the sail was ripped to| shreds, causing us to fall into the trough of the sea. We rigged a storm trisail as quickly | as possible, but the steel halyards were | snapped by the velocity of the gale. In| the meantime, with tremendous 50-feet waves swelling around us, our safety lay in keeping the Nahama's bow into | the seas. To o this, we sank a life 1oat | to_serve as a sea anchor. | This sustained us long enough to re- rig the storm trisail, but it was soon torn apart by the ferocity of the waves. | Then the storm trisail rigging gave way | again and we were forced to use the spinnaker sail until the trisail could once more be rerigged. Wind Subsides Slightly. ‘ The auxiliary motor was saturated | with water and we were unable to| keep going. The storm trisail finally | held and the wind subsided_slightly, | which enabled us to get a little rest.| Cooking was impossible. On Monday morning there was a clear sky, heavy seas and strong winds.

At 2 pm. today we were picked up by the United States Army transport Rcpublic, finding ourselves approxi- mately 1,100 miles off Cape Hatteras, nearly 200 miles from our supposed position. It was & timely rescue, for we were without electricity and had no running ights. We were unable to run our gen- erator due to leakage. Only one sail was left after the storm, the pib main. The cabin and galley were flooded due to leaking hatches and bilges. Under the circumstances and the condition the crew was in, we realized it was practically impossible to reach skore in the Nahama.

A statue of William Jennings Bryan probably will be erected in Washington before next September, according to ex- p_eclmtlon: of those planning the memo- rial.
