STORY OF CHfPWRECK IN WHICH
GEORGIA WOMAN THOUGHT
TO BE LOST.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1*6—After 70
days on u barren island In the South
Pacific ocean with 63 castaways, one a
woman, to whom a baby was soon to
be born. Miss Sadie Cunpbell, train
ed nurse, whose brown hair turned to
gray during her thrilling experience
on the island, told a thrilling story
today of the wreck of the Brlt'sh tramp
steamer Aeon, which left San Fran
cisco for Australia, via Samoa, last
July, grounded on. a coral reef known
as Christmas Island In the South Pa
cific and had warships of both the
American and British navies endeavor
ing to find some trace of the derelict
or Its survivors.
Before she sailed on the Ill-fated
vessel, there were no lines In her pret
ty face and no traces of gray In her
hair.
Struck Reef During Sterm.
“We left San Francisco on July 6
for Sydney, via Pago Pago.” she said.
“The vessel not being licensed to carry
pissengers. we were compelled In or
der to evade the law to sign the ship’s
papers as members of the crew, al
though I believe tho company got $100
fare from each of the passengers.
“I was engaged by Chaplain B. R.
Patrick of the United States navy to
accompany Mrs. Patrick to Samoa.
Besides Chaplain and Mrs. Patrick, a
ma'd and their two boys, aged 3 years
and 18 months, respectively, the wife
of Lieut. Riddle, of Atlanta. Ga., ac
companied us. Wc women signed as
stewardesses, while the men were 'sup
posed to fill different positions among
the crew. 4 , .
“Ten days after leaving Son Fran
cisco wc encountered a severe storm,
and after a gale of two days the Aeon
was dashed on a reef. We were In bed
when the steamer struck, but In a few
minutes we were all on the bridge,
where we spent tho night. A heavy
mist had shut out the s'ght of the
breakers until too late.
"During the night tlie Aeon turned
broadsldo to the beach and was never
still toy an instant. It was not until
daylight that Capt. Downle learned
that we were on Christmas Island. 36
miles out of our course. The highest
part- of Christmas Island Is only IQ
feet above the water, and there is not
a vestige of verdure on It.
“In tlie morning, after tho wreck, we
were taken ashore, wading half way,
and sat in the boiling sun all day, with
nothing to eat. 'Most of the water tanks
aboard were salty, but Chief Engineer
Merr.’tt r!ggcd up a condenser that fur
nished us with 100 gallons of fresh wa
ter a day. until the carpenter, .Han
sen. found a well of fresh water near
the beach.
Built Cabins for Won?en,
“With stray *planks several cabins were
built by Cant. Downle and hls officers.
On Sept. 15 Mrs. Patrick was taken
aboard the Manuka. ....
"To roach tho liner *»ie liad to be car

“The Manuka carried tho shipwrecked

Solace was waiting for those bound for
Pago Pago. Everyone edme through t«ie
ordeal alive and finally reached hls or her
destination. I collapsed on reaching Sa
moa. but am now steadily regaining my
strength. „ ,
“On the liner going to 8uvn. the feat
of Capt. Downle and hls three officers
In covering the distance of 110 miles to
Fanning Islands, reaching there short of
provisions and water, was regarded as
one of the most remarkable and Intrepid
feats In maritime annals."
Voyage of the Aeon.
... When the Aeon left flan Francisco
carried a cargo of ubout 6,000 tons, In
cluding 2,000.000 feet of lumber. She
should have reached her destination with

was felt by relatives nt the passengers,
and shinning men concluded thut the

on the steamer at 15 per cent und It
soon advanced to 66 per cent when pass

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.—Indications to
night. were that the hundreds of moving
picture shows In Greater New York put
out of business by Mayor McClellan'i
tomorrow under authority of
court order. Tonight such an order, a
writ of injunction, was served upon the
mayor and hls subordinates restraining
them from Interfering with tne operation
of tho moving picture shows In all the
city’s boroughs. At tho -same timo the
mayor was served with a notice to show
cause on Monday morning why hls order
cancelling the licenses of these places
should not be rescinded.
The Injunction nnd notice to show
cause Were issued by Justices Gayner
and Blackman of the supremo court. The
showmen tonight were of the opinion that
under these court orders they would bo
able tp resume business tomorrow.

tho prohibited list in tho corporation
counsel's opinion. A point In the local

ney’s remark that If any doubt arises in
the mind of the officer ns to the permis

OFFICER. DOESN’T SMOKE
BUT ESCAPES^ STRAPPING
One of tho Rules of the Policemen
That is Se'dom Varied From.
It Is an Inflexible rule among tho
police that whenever a new officer
comes on, a member, or Is promoted,
the cigars must come to the relief of
which ho Is a member. If no cigars
are forthcoming, then tho relief take
the member and give him a strapping
with a big leather strap kept tor the
purpose.. It has never been u.Wl. bo*
cause a sight of It generally brings
the cigars and nt once.
The other day Officer Anders m whh
promoted to position of brevet lieu
tenant, und this meant Mgars for
relief. When told of the rul*.
demurred because he Is opposed to
smoking cigars or cigarettes, never
using either. They hoys told him that
If that was hls position, they would
make nn exception In hls case, and
he must either deposit seventy certs,

of the Georgia Industrial Home con

twelve months 474 persons were ground
to pieces under I ho wheels of Manhattan's
Juggernaut, und 2.193 wore Injured. That
tills wholesale slaughter nnd maiming Is
crlmtnslly needless Is sufficiently proved
by a single fact: In all London In the
last year of record (IMS) the total num
