United Press that everyone on the

it became apparent it was sink-

five men off the life-raft.
The drowned included Adolfo
Shoneck and Hans Lau, the own-
ers. The other 11 sailors were
rescued by the United States Na-
val minesweeper Swan which
landed them here last night.
“We had been suffering great-
est agony and I had decided I was
unable to hold out any longer."
Captain Walters said in describ-
ing the rescue. “I had been
propped upon the lifeboat’s
thwart, supported by an oar, for
almost three days.
“A hard gale was blowing
when the mate, Garcia, saw the
Swan about five miles away. It
approached slowly. Rain was fall-
ing hard, when I was finally tak-
en aboard on a stretcher.
“The men fell on their knees
and prayed when they were on
the deck of the Swan."
Walters was suffering from
three broken ribs and severe con-
tusions, due to falling timbers
which crashed into the chart cab-
ins before he abandoned the ship.
The others were exhausted and
suffering from exposure.

The big movement of turkeys
from Texas to the Eastern States
is in full swing, railroad officials
returning from Brown, Comanche

Last week and until yesterday
the birds came in slowly, due to
the steadily rising price. When
the market opened at 10 cents,
few birds were sold. Friday, when
the price had reached 16 and 17
cents, the big movement began.
More than 10,000 turkeys were
received at the Singleton farm
near Midlothian, according to G.
L. Oliver, Frisco traffic manager.
The birds are trucked in alive,
then picked, dressed and trucked
again to Dallas, where they are
put into cold storage. The farm
is used as a concentration point
and employs more than 250 peo-
ple during the shipping season to
pick turkeys.

which will close tonight, have
dressed about 50,000 turkeys for
shipment, managers estimate.
