"We never gol nearer than miles of the Georges Philippar and all we saw of the dinanter was the blazing mass on the horizon." Buld Mr. A. Tyrer. the purser aboard the
Kaianr-J-Hind yesterday,
"No actual S. 0. 3. was received by us from the stricken ship," Mr. Tyrer continued, "but we received wireless messages from other ships which in formed us of the disaster. We were proceeding to the scene with all pus. Aibio speed when we received ward that the British steamer Contractor by and Soviet tanker were standing the doomed liner. When we were in- formed by radio that the passengers: and crew had been rescued
other by ships, we altered our course again."
Press representatives, in an! endeavour to obtain Brst hand in- formation regarding the disaster, were aboard the Kalser-1-Hind long
the
berthed before
nt Kowloon wharves yesterday. As soon as the ship was berthed, and Captain W. A. Cotching, the commander of the ship. hnd descended from the bridge, he was interviewed by a representative of the Press.
Fateful Wireless Messages. Captain Catching very courteously put himself at the disposal of the pressman, and even handed over n batch of papers containing all the wireless messages received from the other ships which went to the rescue of the ill-fated Iner. It will be recalled that the Georges Philippar did not actually send out any mensages from its own wireless installation ns the wireless office was one of the first parts of the ship to be consuined by the times.
Captain Cetching said that he had nothing much to add to what had nirendy been told for by the time the the had reached Kaisar-1-Hind vicinity of the burning ship, he wan passengers andi informed that the
and then
crew had been rescued by other shipa. The Kaiser-1-1
-Hind passed the Georges Philippar cruised
buar about 16 miles on its north. to its south in the of picking up hopes
two rafts, which, according to a message from the Con. tractor, were drifting somewhere, to the south of the burning ship. The rafts were not sighted, however, and after a few hours the ship resumed its voyage.
Rescue of Survivors.
The frat wireless messages HOR intrecepted by the Kalsar-1-ind when she was about one hundred miles from tize Georges Pilippar. The message was from the Contractor, and stated that an unknown ship was on fire it position $.04.W, five miles from Guardafui. The message cryp tically ended "Awaiting daylight." A later message from the Contrac tor, received at 7.30 a.m., stated that five bontloads of the survivors from

matter who you are...or what your position...you will be talked about...snubbed and humiliated if you are guilty of halitosis (unpleasant breath).
Halitosis is an unforgivable social fault. It is unforgivable because it is inexcusable. And it is inexcusable because it can be promptly overcome by the use of full strength Listerine Antiseptic as a mouth wash. Surveys show that not one person in ten escapes halitosis entirely. It may be absent one day and present the next. Its causes are many; excess of cat- ing ordrinking,decayingteeth, pyorrhea,fermentingfood par- ticles in the mouth and slight infections of the gums, mouth,
the face
nose or throat, from which unpleasant odours arise,
Being a germicide, capable of killing 200,000,000 germs in 15 seconds, Listerine checks decay and infections which cause odours. Beingalso a pow. erful deodourant, it quickly gets rid of the odours them- selves.The breath is left fresh, sweet and clean.
Rinse the mouth with Lis- terine morning and night and before any bus- iness or social engagement. Keep a bottle handy in home and office. It puts you on the
safe, polite and
acceptable side.
