December 17, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 47 from electrical disturbances, the broad- casting station that sang through it all, and from other ships. It was obvious that other vessels were attempting to reach the Paraguay, however, and that they were encountering terrific seas. One bit of message told of the huge waves sweeping over the vessel's deck. I could not ascertain whether this was from the Paraguay or some other steamer. Another ship reported to the Paraguay that she was 15 miles from the last reported position of the distressed boat. They did not seem to be able to find her. Misjudged Position As was disclosed in subsequent news- paper reports, she had apparently mis- judged her position. All during the night the other vessels searched, while she implored their assistance. Her last message stated that she was awash. The "Baron Herries" had been unable to approach her, due to the heavy seas, and the other vessels had not located her. From that time on, no signals came from the Paraguay. The news reports later told how the light of dawn revealed the battered ship fast on the rocks far off-shore near Kitty Hawk, N. C., how the coast guards' glass showed the crew hang- ing to the rigging to escape the huge combers that swept entirely over her hull and upper structure; and how the life-saving crew put out in the face of the fearful sea, and after three at- tempts, finally got through to the wreck and took off the 24 weary sur- vivers. They had left Raltimore sev- eral days before with 28 men. The other four were dashed overboard dur- ing the night, and were lost. This was but one episode. There are many others that often come flashing across from the sea. That is why there is more fascination to me, in sitting before the dials in Wilmette, "viewing" our entire eastern coast line from Maine to the Florida Keys (and goodness knows how far out into the ocean) through the speaker or phones, than in attempting to make DX records in the broadcast wave band.

IN SENIOR PLAY The "Taming of the Shrew" was the Senior Class play presented at the Roycemore school last Friday evening. Among those taking part were Miss Elizabeth Alger and Miss Phoebe Hedrick of Kenilworth. Miss Alger was the "Cook" and Miss Hedrick was "Lucentio." It was a very commend- able performance and was presented before a large audience. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Breit, Essex road, Kenilworth, entertained twenty- one friends at dinner last week in | honor of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Allen of Wilmette who are leaving for Mi- ami, Fla, to spend the remainder of the winter.
