J, March 14— Over the tragic course she traveled last September 8, when 124 of her passengers and crew lost their lives, the steamship Morro Castle moved slowly up the coast today in tow of two stout tugs. . The rusted hull of the Ward Line's $5,000,000 ocean palace floated into deep water early this morning for the first time since she was beached in the shadow of the convention hall with a | mysterious fire still raging in her hold. | Helped by High Tide. A high tide helped the salvagers push the hulk over the last sandbar and into the open sea. It was the work of months for the Merritt, Chapman | Scott Corp.’s crew to drag her, inch by inch, more than 300 feet through the sand. A Brooklyn drydock is the destina- tion toward which the tugs began hauling the ship—riding a fairly even keel.

ORTIONS of the house at 14¢ B street northeast, now occupied 8s headquarters of the National ‘Woman's party, are reputed to be the oldest structure standing in the city. It was built in 1714, exactly 100 years before the British all but razed it with fire. The second Lord Baltimore built it for his eldest daughter as a coun- try residence and presented it to her at her marriage. * Kk % % STRANGER. ECAUSE life had patterned him so differently, people tittered as he went by, oblivious. The weather was warm, but he wore an overcoat with an expensive-looking fui collar. He was crowned with one of those high, tapering felt or “Pil- grim” hats—the kind one remembers was worn by the comic strip character Alphonse, or was it Gaston? His Barbarossa-hued beard and mustache were laid out on the Na- poleon III plan. What appeared to | be the wide cuffs of a pair of sailor’s pants completely hid his shoes. He sauntered past shop windows carrying a small sky-blue sachel with huge bone handles. Twice he paused— each time to consider a shop window displaying ladies’ accessories. * k k% NAMES MAKE NEWS. ‘.
