Not a single life would have been
lost, Captain Tucker declared, if the
mien on the doomed steamer had acted
promptly and jumped into the Coast
guard power boat when he told them
to after he had brought it alongside
the Maplehurst.
One Jumps in Lake

were saved, while the ten who re-
mained on the ship perished.

"If I should ever leave the North,
(may that time never come) 1 would-
go to San Antonio", said Robert
Frost, Michigan's resident poet, 'when
interviewed concerning his ' recent
lecture trip through th.e South. He
returned to Ann Arbor last Sunday,
evening.
"San Antonio is the most interest-
ing town that I visited. As the cen-
trr.l point of much of the fighting in
the war for the independence of Tex-I
as, there are buildings and locations
of historical interest. A Spanish or
Mexican quarter has some 40,000 in-
habitants who are, to all practical
purposes, full-blooded Aztec Indians.
I found it an exceedingly fascinating
place.

thing which, I hadt previously ha;. a
