Still No Trace
Of 11 Missing
Astoria, Ore., Dec. 21 W)
The fate of 11 persons, missing
in a fire which swept a ship
anchored in the mouth of the
Columbia river, still was not
determined. '
One hundred three others, in
cluding 23 passengers and 80
crtew members were rescued by
the coast guard shortly after
flames whipped through the
mid section of the Danish vessel,
Erria, early yesterday.
Crewmen said the fire started
from sparks from a shorted
electric cable, a" few minutes
later a hold was on fire.
Survivors said crew members
ran from cabin to cabin pound
ing on doors and ordering pas
sengers to lifeboat stations.
i Tout of the eight lifeboats
were lowered, the first with
women and children and the
others with men. Three boats
burned and one was not launch
ed. The coast guard station, only
a mile away, rushed tugs to the
scene to pick up the lifeboats.
One survivor, E. L. Blythe of
Portland, said "there was no
panic, but most of the passen
gers left their luggage behind.
Some of them were in night
clothing and overcoats."
465-Lb. Santa
World's Biggest
Canton, O., Dec. 21 VP) Santa
Claus in neighboring Minerva,
O., finds it' quite impossible to
squeeze into a chimney. In fact,
helonce got stuck in a bathtub.
But this Santa his real name
Is Raymond Fry, 47, a Minerva
furniture dealer doesn't worry
about his 465-pound bulk. He
claims he is the world's biggest
Santa Claus, and he's a Jolly
man when Christmas comes
around. . . .
For five years now. Fry has
been playing St. Nick for chil
dren's parties and other gather
ings. He scorns pillows in fa
vor of his honest-to-goodness
paunch, but on one occasion he
regretted that.
It was in Chicago, says Fry,
and he was playing Santa for a
"bunch of tough kids."
"They punched and pulled at
me," he says. "When I took my
suit off, after that appearance,
I was black and blue all over."
Not at all averse to talking
about his weight, Fry says:
"I don't need anything un
usual in the way of furniture to
support my weight, but I do
have an extra long bath tub,
"I got stuck once this sum
mer in the tub because I had
put too much soap in and could
not get enough traction to lift
myself up."
For breakfast, this Santa en
joys six eggs, bacon, toast, cof
fee and jelly (it used to be a
dozen eggs). Then, in mid-morning,
a cereal, followed by a big
lunch, a big supper, and oc
casionally a snack before bedtime.
Danish Motorship Burns The Danish motdrship Erria
caught fire at the mouth of the Columbia river with 114
persons aboard. Rescuers got 103 to safety. Search con
tinues for the other 11, who may be in a missing lifeboat.

sengers and crew were rescued. (AP Wirephoto)
'We Were Lucky'
.
Rescue Off Burning Ship Told
Astoria, Ore., Dec. 21 (IP) "We
were terribly lucky," Eva M.
P o w 1 e y of Winnipeg, Canada,
said today in a dramatic ac
count of her rescue from the
burning ship Erria near here
yesterday.
She said she and her niece,
Mariorie Hazelwood of Victoria,
B.C., were asleep in a cabin on
the third deck when the stew
ardess knocked on the door.
"We got up and got dressed.
I forgot the coat to my suit, but
I put on my street coat. We
grabbed two towels to hold over
our noses, she added.
"By that time the smoke had
filled the corridor. Ihe steward
ess had told the crew that we
were still not out of our cabins.
A man with a gas mask came
along the corridor to lead us
out. I didn t get his name, but
we held onto his coat tails and
went up three flights to the boat
deck.
"We were never frightened
But we were lucky, wad we
gone back for some of our valu
ables we would not be here.
That's what happened to many
people aboard. They went back
for something. We lost all of our
clothes and our jewelry but what
we had on. Our total losses
would amount to about $5000,
she continued.
"We reached the boat deck in
time to see one of the lifeboats
tip forward and enter the water
head first. Luckily, no one was
in it. Our boat, after it was
launched made three trips back
to the ship to pick up survivors
hanging on ropes. On the last
trip the water was only six
inches from the gunwales o( the
boat.
We were in danger of being
swamped as the water poured
out of an exhaust pipe on the
boat and into our lifeboat," she
said.
"One of the women started
screaming, but a passenger in
the boat told her to shut up, and
in no uncertain terms, she did.
After we landed, we got a real
reception from the coast guard,
the navy and the Red Cross. It
was terrible about those people
who lost their lives. We knew
all of them personally. We had
been on the boat 10 days. I guess
we won t really feel this disas
ter for a week. Then it will hit
us.
"I don't know what we are
going to do. We had .planned tol
sail to New York and spend a
week there. I know we won't
be getting on any more boats.
But we'll be taking a vacation
for about a month. We were ter
ribly lucky."

Wenatchee, Dec. 21 (IP)
Nearly 100,000 boxes of fruit
were destroyed in a fire in the
J. M. Wade Fruit Co. warehouse

the loss, including the building
Fire Chief T. A. Weaver said

and one million dollars.
Wade said the fire started in
empty boxes in the warehouse
about 3 p.m. It was brought
under control six hours later.
Firemen saved a furniture
company adjoining the ware
house.
Between 95,000 and 100,000
boxes of fruit were destroyed in
the blaze but volunteers man

Ship Goes Aground,
Quickly Refloated
Seattle, Dec. 21 iff) The S. S.
John Murray Forbes, outbound
with a load of grain, went
aground near the mouth of the
Columbia river early today but
was quickly refloated, the coast
guard reported.
Thirteenth coast guard district
headquarters said the Liberty
ship grounded near Three Tree
Point, about seven miles east of
Tongue Point, Ore., where the
Danish motor vessel E i r r a
caught fire and burned yester
day. Commercial tugs pulled the
Forbes free in about four hours
the coast guard said.
The Forbes figured in other
maritime news recently. The
vessel was one of three which
