— By Telegraph — Copyright).
LONDON, Sunday. The wife of Walter Denis Savage, the surviving first ofiicer of the Venus, has not received official intimation of tbe disaster. Interviewed at a Thames-side house ■in tbe heart of dockland, sbe stated that she had been unable to- eat or sleep owing to the shock. She expressed thankfuiness at the safety 'of her husband, whom she expected home for Christmas. "This is the third shipwreck in six years," she said. "The first was between Antwerp and London, and the second in a collision which sank the eontinential freighter, River Seheldt, which resulted in his being laid up for two months with pleurisy, without compensation. It cannot go on. He must leave the sea. He would not have shipped this time but that he had heen out of work for nine months and hated drawing the dole. I dc not understand this rum-running story.
