WARD LINER SINKS

AFTER COLLISION

STEERING GEAR FAILED SURVIVORS STATE

New York, Jan. 25.

Following reports that all passengers and crew of the Ward Liner, Mohawk, had been saved, anxious re- latives and friends of those aboard were shocked to learn to-day that 47 persons are still missing, and are feared drowned.

Capsizing when she was beached, following a collision, the Mohawk is lying now in shallow water. The alarm that was felt for the safety of those aboard, once allayed, has now become horror at the thought of the disaster which has apparently overtaken many.

It is learned in the New York offices of the Ward Line that 47 are either known to be dead or are still missing, and that 116 have been rescued.

Mrs.

Among the missing are Celestino Peabody, sister of Mr. Tommy Hitchcock, famous polo player, and her husband, Mr. Julian Peabody, the well-known architect; Mrs. Kraemer, wife of Dr. William Kraemer of Delaware, who arrived here from England to-day aboard the Liner Olympic, and a number of others dis- tinguished

ENGLAND LAGS IN TEST MATCH

WEST INDIES BOWLERS UNPLAYABLE

Port Of Spain, Jan. 25. ́

The West Indies had far the better of the game when the second Test match with England was resumed here to-day, and R. E. S. Wyatt was given plenteous cause to repent of his action in putting the. West Indies in to bat first after winning the toss.

Close of play found England 102 runs in arrears, and only two wickets in hand. But for a brilliant piece of batting by Iddon, the visitors would have been in a real plight, for they lost the first five wickets for

a mere 23 runs.

After that "Pasty" Hendren, Iddon and Holmed stepped into the breach, and saved England from utter annihilation.
