was considered certain that it had
gone down with its entire erevv of 170
men. Shipping men believed it was
dashed on the rocks near Cani Race.
A search for it was in progress along
that part of the coast.
Additional details were brought
here by survivors of tho disaster
which overtook the erevv of the sealer

ferings which they experienced.
.Some, crazed by pain, gnawed at
their frozen bands ami chewed their
clothing in their ngpny. One man
hacked oft his frozen fingers with
his elnp knife nml died from loss of
lilood.
Seventy-five per cent of the sur
vivors were blind when they were res

f WASHINGTON', April O.-Secre-tary
Daniels' order, mnde public Sat
urday night, abolishing the "wino
mess" on United States warships and
barring intoxicants from all Ameri
can navy vcpsels or shore stations,
wim the ?cnution of the moment in
official circles here todny.
Under the nnvnl regulations, any
officer who criticised or found fault
with the new regulation would bo li
able to court martial and the severest
penalties, but there was no question,
it wns said by men in close touch
with many of them, that it would be
highly unpopular among them.
Intoxicants lUrml
Only beer nnd the lightest wine
have been sold in tho "wino messes;"
it was stated, but under the new rule
both these will be prohibited after
July 1. If the order Lf strictly- en
forced, according (o navy depart
ment officials, no officer except nur-
geons nnd their assistants may tako
any intoxicant upon a warship or
into a naval shore station, even for
medicinal puroses. And that en
forcement will be strict wan generally
expected.
Furlherniore, it wns considered ex
tremely unlikely that any subsequent
ndmiuist ration will ever daro to re
voke the rule. Its critics mostly
placed responsibility for it on Con
gressman Richmond V. Hobsou, who,
as n former naval officer, was said
to havo considerable influence us an
nilmiuistrution adviser on nnvnl mat
tors. Order Unusually nrH
Congressman Ilartholdt of Mis
souri was among the severest of
Uiosu who condemned the order. ''It
is unusually harsh," he said. "It is
in disregard of our naval officers'
personal liberty. They aro citizens,
nnd their rights should be respected.
I don't think the use of beer nnd
light wines is harmful. Other untious
permit it."
Prohibitionists, however, were de
lighted. "The new order," said Sec
retary Jesso Sutor, of tho Anti-Saloon
league, "will be most influential
in promoting the cnusu of temper-mice."
