He was steadily ateamlnc away. from it, and they, without radio direc tion finding apparatus, were un able to locate him. America Better Equipped 'The America, however, -had an efficient radjo compass, which is a sensative 'receiving , set with a revolving loop antenna. Although misled at first by the difference between the Florida's given posi tion and the' direction Indicated by the radio compass, it was the direction finder In the end that led to the Florida. They found the Florida 16 miles from the posi tion it had given long after dark last night. ' - Capt. Fried well knew the dan. ger of the next taek to be at tempted. When - he directed the rescue ofthe crew of the Antlnoe three years ago he lost two of his own men . who were washed out of. a Jife boat and drowned. But the law of the sea is ingrained in the men who follow its calling, and he did not hesitate. Lifeboat number one was swung out and down, thoueu a full gale was blowing and the wind car. ried a smother of snow to make things harder. Chief Officer Man. nlng took command of the little boat and eight men sat at the oars.

He got a rope on the Florida's deck and one after another the shivering sailors from the sinking wreck hurled themselves into the sea and pulled their way hand over hand to the cockleshell that was their one remaining hope of life. no EHE L0IE S I WED sis of S.5S a share, against $1.43 In the preceding quarter, and 87 cents In the last quarter of 1927.
