F *1 EIOHT CREW ABANDONS STEAMER AT SEA Thessaloniki Sinking Three Hundred Miles From 9 Coast NINETY MEN TAKEN OFF BY PERUGIA I Derelict Drifting' a Menace toj Ocean Navigation Says The Messages. i New York.?Passengers and crew of the (I reek steamer Thessaloniki! are on their way to this port, having1 abandoned the disabled liner and left her, it is believed, in a sinking condition more than 300 miles southeast of Sandy Hook. The 300 passengers are on board the Greek steamer Patris while the crew found refuge on the Anchor liner Perugia bound from Genoa and Gibraltar for New York. Confirmation of earlier reports that 4 u . n..4 ~ i i * _ i on a i mi tin.; ruins null lUKt'Il Oil U1P I liessaloniki's passengers last Saturday morning was received in a wireless message from the captain of the Patris in which he told of the efforts of the Patris to tow the Thessaloniki to port, of the breaking of the towing lines and of a subsequent search for her in snow and fog when the Thessaloniki again asked for assistance. No direct news from the Perugia has been received ' y wireless but an announcement of the transfer of the Thessaloniki's crew to the Perugia was contained in a radio message received from the steamer United States. The Thessaloniki still is afloat and a menace to navigation, according to a radio message received by the Anchor Line from the Perugia. The message said the Perugia had rescued ninety of the crew and all of the mail from the Thessaloniki and expected to arrive soon. The passcng-i ers and remainder of the crew are J aboard the Greek steamer Patris. NOTICE. WHEREAS at a meeting of tlu I board of directors of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, held at Conway, S.

Few landsmen realize the meaning of a "menace to navigation," as jre- u ported constantly through the Hydro graphic office in Washington, writes F. A. Hill, in The Savannah News. In a m VU f 1 yonco if ic t\o rfnnf 1 i-loor V* p#? V.V V?V ?.* ? MVktMV ? V ['V A AW H J VIVMI ^ but to the lay mind it does not com- \\ vev quite enough significance. Pie- .1 ture to yourself a floating palace, in- ^ habited for the time being by hundreds of precious human souls. The c sea is smooth, the night clear, and f couples line the decks of the ship or 11 seek amusement in the saloon. The huge ship cuts through the water like s a knife, twin wavelets curling away 'c from its bow as the sea is displaced 4 in the passage of the vessel. , In the saloon some are playing ( cards; others reading. Perchance a talented woman will begin a song, ac- j companied by some volunteer pianist . among the host of passengers. The , music is sweet and the singer's voice lends charm to the tropical night. The v v singer begins the second verse and ^ her audience lean forward eagerly to catch very note. Of a sudden the | song stops? ^ A convulsive shiver overcomes the ship; it twists and turns like a wound ^ ed monster; passengers are thrown . on the floor and cries of nljirin nt*p heard. A rush is made for the decks, ^ xtrU r> ? /-> r? i- r* ?* %-v-? i % t ?? *> - 1 A- V* I TIIILIC .l|/<n t" IS (11 (t |J 1 11 l I U 111 illlU lite scene is one of confusion.

It was not j a rock, they find, for none was mark- 2 ed on the chart, besides they were In f the very path of commerce. A dere- r c lict, whose toll of human cargo as- j tonishes the world, is responsible. A r menace to navigation, floating sub- j merged beneath the water, like an ( undersea vulture seeking its prey, Is . to blame for the accident that may r cost the life of hundreds. Realizing the r.eed of watchfulness * and aware that the greatest peril of ( the steamers is a "floating obstruc- 1 tion" the Bureau of Navigation, 8 through the Hydrographic Office, is ? engaged in keeping a lookout for spch obstructions. When one is found a ^ wireless warning to all ships is issued, c their commanders mark the location ' and steer clear of it. After a short 1 time a coast guard cutter is apprised ^ of the derelict and goes in search ^ of it, destroying it upon its discovery. * An insight into the method of procedure may be gleaned from the diary of a wireless operator on one of the 1 coast guard vessels. This is the way ^ his personal note-book reads: r "Monday, April 5.?Left Savannah n 11:15 a. m. in search of barge Tam- s pico, reported adrift. Spoke William ^ F.

The foregoing is a fair sample of a ,'ireless operator's personal log-book board of a coast guard cutter during he cruising season, for derelicts are onstantly being desroyed, thus riding the seas of the dangerous hulks hat float and endanger the lives and rouperty of thousands. o THE FABLE OF THE LOAFER.

He was at and ugly, with a short bull-neck, , round, bald head, thick Tips, proruding eyes'and snub nose. He spent is time talking, with whomsoever vould listen to him. He respected no ne, rich or poor. He loved a joke vent barefoot and allowed his clothes o become soiled. He spent most of lis time drinking at the public drinkng place. Finally he married, but nstead of reforming his ways, he coainued tojoaf along the streets, talkng, and refused to earn money tc upport himself and his wife. Fre[uently the woman could he seen lead ng him through streets by the ear, >erating him soundly with her tongue, tnd frequently with a broomstick, rhat man was Socrates?the wisest nan the world ever seen.

PROVEN SWAMP ROOT AIDS WEAK KIDNEYS The symptoms of kidney and bladder troubles are often very distressing and leave the system in a rundown condition.
