SE JAMES HOLDEN Phone House 15 Office 434 DISCUSS WORKS WOMEN AUTHORS Before Castle Chapter of the Ladies' College Alumne i (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, March 28.--The discus- sion of the life and works of two well-known Canadian women au- thors including Mrs. I, Adams Beck and Mrs. Gene Mellwraith ou- cupied the attention of the Castle Chapter O.L.C. Alumnae at its reg- ular meeting held in the reception room of the college, Monday after- noon. Mrs. Robert Thompson dealt with the life of the first-named au- thor and gave a brief sketch of one of her historical works entitled "The Divine Lady' written under the pen name of E. Barrington. Miss Maxwell, lady principal of the college, contributed synopses of two beantiful short stories written by Mrs. Beck and the style of these was shown to differ decidedly with that employed in the historical nov- el. Mrs. W. J. H. Richardson led in the discussion of the life of Miss Jean Mcllwraith and her recent novel "Kinsman at War", a war story with is heroes a Canadian and an American soldier. Amer:- can publishers refused to handle this manuscript on .the grounds that it was too British in sentt- ment while old country publish- ers took the opposite view claim- ing it to be pro American. Conse- quently the author had to seek a Canadian market. In addition to the main topic a splendid piano selection "was provided by Miss Widdup, and the meeting was con- cluded shortly after 5 o'clock. The president, Mrs. Leo. Gray, of Osh- awa, acted as chairman.

FAMILY BEREAVED TR FAIL TO RESCUE STRANDED CREW Tug Battles the Ice Floes in Vain--Port Dover Men in Peril Port Dover, March 27. -- Five local fishermen, on board the tug Altawandron, face a night of dan- ger. trapped in the ice floes of Lake Erie, which are moving slowly towards the Niagara. , Following a terrific gale that commenced last night and contin- ued through today, the immense ice fields of Lake Erie were start- ed on their outward journey, and with them carried the Altawan- dron, with Captain John Mattews, Daniel clLeod, Leslie Murphy, Harry Phillips and a Swedish fish- erman, all local men, on board. The keeper of the lighthouse at the east end of Long Point 1e- ported this afternoon, about twe o'clock, that the tug, which had been fast in the ice off the upper end of the Point since Friday, was approaching the end of the Point, and that distress signals were be- ing displayed by thecrew of 5 on board. The report was transmit- ted to the local life-saving station and the tug Margaret L. was dis- patched at once to render assis- tance. The Margaret L., with Captain John A, M¢Caulay, and a small crew, battled the elements and the ice fields all afternoon, but were forced to give up at sundown, within one mile of their goal, Captain McCaulay, who has many daring rescues to his credit, would not have given up his heroic task then without the firm conviction that the trapped tug and crew will be in comparatively little aanger over night. Captain McCaulay reporis the craft as being in an immense ice field, six miles southwest of the end of Long Pcint, and that it was impossible, as darkness closed, to force his tug any nearer than a mile to the imperiled men, vho were steadily waving distress sig: nals. Another tug, ih company with the Margaret L., will be dispatch- ed from this point at five «o'click tomorrow morning, to undertaka the hazardous attempt to succor the distressed sailors. Captain McCaulay is confident of reaching the men tomorrow, and said that if the tugs were un- able to break through the ice fields, small boats would he drag- ged over the uneven surface and remove the men. He states that although the ice is moving it is slow, and that there should not be much change in their location over-night, hut admitted that any move would carry them closer to danger and further from relief. The men have a small cabin, and if they have matches, can keep a fire going. The food sup- plies are also said to be fairly good, although ft is known that the supplies on hoard are not large. The wind, which has been blow- ing hard and steadily all day, is gradually falling, and it is thought that it will settle into a light blow for the remainder of the night. Captain McCaulay ex- pressed the opinion that there was no danger of the craft being capsized, as it was fast imbedded in the ice field, apd that this floe wag moving in a solid mass and pot given to breaking up.
