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

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.

COAST CUTTERS
SCOUR THE SEA
Make Special Search For 5
. Menaces to Navigation.
Hard Work.
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

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, ^

scene is one of confusion.
Floats Submerged. j
Out of a still night, on a calm sea, ^
something has struck a giant ship and ^
given it her death blow. 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 ^

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,

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. The kidneys seem to
suffer most, as almost every victim
complains of lame back and urinary
troubles which should not be neglected,
as these danger signals often lead
to dangerous kidney troubles,
j I)r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which
I soon heals and strengthens the kid
rieys is a splendid kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, and, being an herbal
compound, has a gentle healing effect
on the kidneys, which is almost immediately
noticed in most cases by those
who use it.
A trial will convince anyone who
may be in need of it. Better get a bottle
