Congratulated by Captain.
NEW YORK. Fob. 5. An o\
empuncation oi rwnerican ingenuity
and desire to give service was the
recent catching oi a steamer by Miss
Ruth Williamson. Miss Williamson
was desirous of getting to London
■ because of the illness of her mother,
1 and had booked passage on the S. S.
America, of the United States Lines,
i When Miss Williamson arrived at
the pigr with her baggage, she found
to her dismay, that the vessel was
,well on its way to the open sea.
i Miss W'illiarason had been visiting
in Chicago when she received a cable
'calling her to her mother’s bed-side.
She immediately telegraphed for ac
commodations aboard the America,
and boarded a train for New York.
( The train arrived late, and the young
woman with her luggage rushed to
the pier in a taxicab. Upon her ar
rival she found that the Arnica had
passed the Statue of Liberty, and
twas headed for the broad Atlantic.
Realizing the strained predicament
the young woman, officials of the
United States Lines called into serv
ice a speedy tug-boat. The young
woman was quickly escorted aboard
the tug, and the rush after the liner
began. The shrill whistling of the
tug-hoat attracted the attention of the
«mcers aboard the fast-travelling
America, and the word was taken to
Captain William Rind, Commander
aboard the bridge of the ship, who
Spunrdiately ordered the engine room
to slacken speed, and in a few min-,
tltes the tug-boat had arrived along
•ide the great ocean liner. |
A rope ladder was lowered from
one of the lower dicks of the Amer
ica. and the plucky Mis. William.. .it,
without further aid. proceeded to
clamber upward to the deck, where
she was greeted by the purser. I i. r
baggage was raised up on the ciid of
a rope. During the i peration, a large
crowd of passengers on the America
climbed the rails, ami cheered the
brave girl’s act. Captain Kind was s >
impressed with the young lady’s cour
age that he sent for her from the
bridge, and personally paid his com
pliments.
Rig steamships depart on schedule
time, and with all the promptly, of
a railroad train. It is disconcerting
to the officials when travelers arrive
late, but through various circum
stances, this sometimes happens. The
passenger's only hope then, is to he
taken aboard a tug in pursuit of the
steamer. The majority of women
hesitate about undertaking such a
venture, hut Miss Williamson gave
ample testimony that she, as a mem
ber of the so-called weaker sex. was
capable of the bravery of the strong
er.
During Miss Williamson’s boarding
of the vessel, and after she was re
ceived by Captain Rind on the bridge
u vessel, scores of amateur
photographers took snapshots of the
young lady. Among the photographs
sent back to shore aboard the tug was
one showing the young lady being
congratulated by the commander of
the bur liner.

A WORLD’S RECORD.
BROKEN IN DOUGLAS
That the greatest distance which
voltes by radio have yet traveled
has been recorded here in Douglas,
is evidenced train the following mes
| snae which was recently wirelessed
! from Havana, Cuba,
i “Mrs. Robert Coughlin of Douglas,
Alaska, in tuning her radio set heard
j a woman's voice singing Mother
Maebree.' The song came clear and
strong. This was on Jan. 6, and the
i inger was Harriett Williams, an
employee of the American Consul
General. Her letter from the Alas
kan receiving station, told the story
of a new world’s record for trans
mission of a woman’s voice."
