Altho neither would discuss the matter today, it is expected that one of them will start for Marshfield. es * * * es es MARSHFIELD, Or., Sept. 15.—Mrs. F. bo = wife of a Seattle physician, is of the heroines who did noble rescue leoeele aboard the burning liner Congress late yesterday, when 423 passengers and crew escaped without a single casualty. She is here today with a crushed hand, sustained while carrying another woman’s baby in her arms from the blistered deck to an awaiting lifeboat. The mother of the child, who had fainted, was carried to safety. Mrs. Ashton grasped the baby and went over the side of © the ship with it. Her hand was crushed be- — tween the lifeboat and the steamer in the attempt. Mrs. Ashton lives at 1151 16th ave. N., Seattle, and her husband is on the way here to attend her.
