School Children Hysterical as
Excursion Steamer Strikes
at Aberdeen.
ALL NIGHT PASSED ON BOAT
Fact That Kennewlck Had TTo Rock
ets or Iilfeboats Causes Indigna
tion at Grays Harbor, Where
nr-Tm(dy Is Enacted.
ABERDEEN, Wash., May 1. (Spe
cial.) While waves washed over her
low decks the gasoline steamer Kenne
wlck, with an excursion party consist
ing of 6 grade pupils of the Franklin
school, lay stranded and helpless last
night from shortly after 7 oclock until
nearly 8 o'clock this morning.
The half hysterical children. Prin
cipal J. F. Hodgland, his wife and the
women teachers were rescued by the
steamer Bkookum, which set out at 11
o'clock when the plcknlckers failed to
return. Bmall boats had to be used,
because of shallow water.to make the
transfer, which required two hours.
The Kennewlck was located with the
aid of the Bkookum's searchlight at
2 o'clock thlB morning.
The picnic party had passed the day
at West-Port and left that beach re
sort for Aberdeen at 6 o'clock.
Craft Carried Toward Ocean.
When opposite the Gray's Harbor
elty dock the engine broke down and
Impelled by a strong tide and current
the Kennewlck was carried oceanward
rapidly. It is providential that she
struck the sand spit, which was the
only possible thing that could have
stopped her from drifting over the bar.
The water on the bar was rough and
possibilities of wholesale drowning
would have been overwhelming.
The fact that the Kennewlck bad no
rockets or lifeboats has aroused Indig
nation here and' there Is some taik of
attempts to take away the license or
the Kennewick's master. Baskets and
what eatables were on board had been
stowed on the forward deck and were
soon washed away by the waves.
The children were crowded onto the
upper deck of the vessel, which is
small, and while extremely weary and
with some of them hysterical, passed
the night in comparative comfort.
Parents at Doclt Anxlou.
At Aberdeen a wild crowd of par
ents stood on Burrows dock from 11
o'clock until the arrival of the Skoo-
kum. Parents began to become
alarmed when the children had not
returned at 9 o'clock. Most of them
quit telephoning after that hour and
went to tbe dock.
A. W. Mlddleton," a wealthy mill
owner, whose child was with the party,
chartered the Skookum. The crowd
remaining Dehina ras .half hysterical
until at dawn the whistle of the re
turning Skookum sounded. Work of
rescuing was difficult.
The Kennewick had struck while the
tide was receding and two rowboats,
which the fRookum built for freight
ing, would transport but two or three
children at one time. The rescuers
were compelled to carry the children
from the Kennewick to the rowboats.

CALL FOR RELIEF.
The man who wrote the recent song
hit, "Mine!" which had such a run in
Portland some time ago. one Alfred
Solman, has just penned a new ballad
which seems to be all the go in New
Tork. It is a simple love affair full of
that so-called heart sentiment which
women seem to like. Here are a few
bars cut from a copy of the music Just
received:

The secret of the song's popularity
seems to lie in the fact that it is aimed
to bring out the voice, containing a
number of very odd harmonies, al
though no high notes. The song is also
out for male and female . Quartets, or-
cnestra and dance music.

camp site on the divide at Meadows the
camp had been rltched on the south
slope near the trail on the way down to
the caves. A- sheltered brook was
found, where it was much warmer than
on the summit. The hikers got into
camp long before supper time.
During the evening the entire party
congregated around a rousing bonfire,
where the Owl Club had a session, with
Frank B. Riley as chief. Besides mu
