THE LOST LINER.
ALL LIVES SAVED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept. 10. A wireless message from the Kinfauns Castle, bound Trom Southampton to the United States, says she responded to the Hammonia’s S.O.S. call and rescued 340 out of 800. All the Hammonia’s passengers and crew have been rescued by other vessel*. SAVING LIVES AT SEA. REMARKABLE RECORD. Received Sept. 11, 8.35 p.m. London. Sept. 11. Captain Day, of the Kinfauns Castle, which rescued part of the Hammonia’s company, has a magnificent life-saving record. When in command of the Cawdor Castle he rescued the crew of a foundering Dutch steamer in the North Sea, and also the crew of a French sailing ship off Mauritius during the war. He commanded the hospital ship Glenart Castle and saved two aviators and rescued the crew of the torpedoed Welsh Prince in the Mediterranean. When his own vessel was mined in the Channel Captain Day successfully transferred 525 wounded soldiers to other vessels, and then safely navigated his own sinking ship into Portsmouth.—Aus.-N.Z.
