Lifeboat Was Found Containing Five Bodies, Including That of Captain's Wife, All of Whom Have Perished from Cold and Exposure --Tragedy Happened on Lake Ontario, Opposite Kingston. KINGSTON, Ont., Nov. 2 9.--Cast adrift in a lifeboat upon the turbulent waters of Lake Ontario when their ship, the "City of New York," foundered during a terrific gale which swept down the lake Thursday morning last, the bodies »f four members of the ill-fated crew and Mrs. Randall, wife of the captain, were found on Friday night huddled in the bottom of their frail refuge frozen to death. The discovery was made by the crew of the "Isabella H." a sister lake freighter, about 10 miles southwest of Stoney Point. Some distance away floated another lifeboat, empty and with oars gone. Later, the third and last lifeboat was located. It was drifting upside 'down. No hope whatever is held out that any of the crew of the "City of New York," who numbered eight, including the captain's family, have survived the disaster. The body of the captain and owner, Harry Randall, has not been recovered, neither has that of his child. It is believed that Captain Randall and his son, together with the remaining two members of the crew, put off in the second lifeboat and were caught in the suction caused by the sinking of the ship and over- Among the crew of the "City of New York" were Captain Harry Randall, his wife and two children, one aged 12 years and the other a year old, of Seeley's Bay; Mate Wesley Warren, Engineer R. H. Dorey and Deckhand I. J. Dorey, of Seeley's Bay; and Fireman Joseph G. Gallagher and Deckhand Frank Gallagher, of Kingston. The elder Dorey has been sailing on the lakes practically all his life, but it was the first trip the younger Dorey had ever made. He went on the boat when it left Kingston two weeks ago to help his brother out for the remainder of the season. The "City of New York" was bound for Trenton when she foftnd-ered, with a cargo of sulphur and phosphate. Although a vessel of 5 00 tons capacity, she carried only 350 tons of cargo. She was 57 years old, of wooden construction, and was bought in Toronto this last spring by Captain Randall. Just where the "City of New York" foundered must remain a ter of conjecture; but it is generally conceded that the time was Thursday morning, and the hour between 6 and 7 o'clock. If this is so, then Captain Osborne, of the Isabella H.," who later was destined to discover the lifeboat of death afloat upon the lake, virtually witnessed the grim tragedy, though he did not know it at the time. The last act in the drama of the staunch, old freighter was enacted near Main Ducks Island, and was set out about 40 miles in the lake from the Port of Kingston. "We ran into a bad sleet gale early Thursday morning," Captain Vincent said, "and hove to behind the island for shelter. It was pitch dark, but shortly after we were rid-at anchor we saw the lights of "City of New York" flash past. We followed them with our eyes for b time, and then they suddenly disappeared. We did not pay any ition to it at the time. We thought that Randall had changed his course, and let it go at that." Four of the five bodies found in the yawl have been identified by Captain John Randall, father of the master of the ill-fated steamer. Those identified are: Mrs. Harry Randall, of Seeley's Bay, 31 years of age; Mate Wesley Warren, Seeley's Bay, aged 30; Engineer Harry Dorey, Kingston, aged 31; Deckhand Gilbert Dorey, Kingston, aged 17. The fifth body has not yet been identied, but it is described as that of a fair-haired boy, about 16 years of age. Mate Warren and the Dorey brothers were unmarried. The father of the two latter, Matthew Dorey, of Kingston, has been a sailor nearly all his life, but was employed this summer Hamilton. The Doreys were with Captain Randall for about a month. The younger, who had a land job this summer, when laid off, said he would go sailing to earn some money for Christmas. Captain Harry Randall was about 33 years of age. He survived by his parents and a four-year-old son by a previous marriage. BEATTY IN TORONTO. Hearts of City Were Captured by Admiral. TORONTO, Nov. 29.--David Beatty, fighting idol of the British navy, first sailor of an empire of sailors, has come, has been seen, and has captured Toronto's heart. For nine hours on Monday this daring aggressive Brftisher was the centre of Toronto's thoughts. They were nine hours packed with typical Beatty activity. Arriving at eight o'clock in the dismal gloom of the Union Station, he was received by Sir Edward Kemp, Mr. Edmund Bristol, Sir Henry Drayton, and Mayor Church for the Dominion and the city and by a military group headed by Maj.-Gen. V. A. S. Williams, G. O.C., and including Maj.-Gen. Robt. Rennie, Brig.-Generals C. H. Mitchell and John Gunn, and Lieut.-Colonels H. E. Boak and W. Rhoades. The admiral greeted these personages briskly and without delay proceeded to Front street through a lane of naval veterans and boys of the Naval Brigade. Here, after a brief inspection the guard of honor furnished by Company of the Royal Canadian Regiment, attended by the Royal Grenadiers Band, he stepped into a waiting car and fifty naval veterans, by means of two long ropes whisked him around the corner at a brisk trot. Leaving Government House at 10 o'clock after a breakfast party which included the Governor-General, Lady Byng. the Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Cockshutt, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Mary Byng and the Misses Margaret and Isobel Cockshutt, Earl Beatty was officially received at the City Hall by Mayor Church. Following this came a two-hour motor drive past a score or so of the city's schools and at one o'clock was entertained at luncheon by the Canadian Club. An hour later he was in Massey Hall where he received a demonstration from the Navy League of Canada and the Great War Veterans, and at 2.45, he left for Christie street hospital, where he met some of his comrades in arms. Half an hour here and then to Hart House, where he spoke to an applauding crowd of students. Another hour and he was on his way to Hamilton. Earl Beatty met hundreds of Canadians during those nine hours and he won the admiration of them all. Five Men Rescued by Steamer. HALIFAX, N.S., Nov. 29. -- The ritish steamer Welshman rescued the captain and four members of the ■ of the schooner Stanley Joseph, of St. John's, Newfoundland, in lati-46.08 north, longitude 53.02 , according to a message received by the Inteligence Department of he Canadian Naval Service here. The Stanley Joseph had been stripped'of sails and rudder in a heavy northwest gale, the message said. Before being abandoned she was set on' fire, when last seen the fire was apparently dying out and the wreck lemed likely to remain afloat as a enace to navigation. After affect-g the rescue, with much difficulty, the Welshman was unable to take lifeboat aboard again, and had to cast it adrift because of heavy TEN VOTING HOURS.

STINNES IN ENGLAND. Mystery Surrounds His Visit to British Premier. FERLTN, Nov. 29.--The recent mysterious trip to London of Hugo Stinnes, the financier, continues to be the subject of newspaper speculation. It is Positively asserted by the magnate's' friends that he was the week-end guest of Mr. Lloyd George at Chequers, and that his movements while in England were so skilfully masked that newspaper respondents and others wishing see him were completely duped as to his whereabouts. George Bernhard, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, asserts that Herr Stinnes, in addition to discussing reparations and allied issues while in England, also broached the subject of creating a European railway trust. This, the writer declares, would not only take over the bankrupt German system, but also that of the other European countries. The reconstruction of the Russian railways, he says, would be the logical outcome of such an amalgamation, in which British and United States capital would be interested. Herr j Bernhard openly opposes the report- I ed plan, asserting that British influence, once it was able to lay j hands on the German railway system, would surely prove inimical to German industrial interests gen- Miner's Geese Shot In Labrador.
