PAGE FOUR SANTA ANA DA1U KfclilSlEK, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1921 United Leased Wire NORTH HEAD, Aug. Another story of devotion to duty has been added to the history of the sea. Through the dark hours of the night, with the danger of a sudden storm hovering over them, the crew of the freighter Canadian Importer, disabled 625 miles southwest of Columbia river lightship, manned their waterlogged craft and steadfastly supported Captain Bissett in in his refusal of a tow to port and safety, according to radio messages received here early today. CORDOVA OFFERS HELP The steamer Cordova, of the! Alaska line, Honolulu to Portland, stood by throughout the night, and although refused a chance at the salvage money involved in towing I the Canadian freighter into port, nevertheless remained beside the Importer ready to take off the captain and crew at a moment's notice, according to radio messages here. Messages from the Cordova and the Mannkai, which is hurrying to the Importer's aid from San Francisco, give a meager account of how the Cordova chanced upon the helpless Importer whose wireless apparatus had been out of commission since August 19.

On that day the vessel was left helpless upon the ocean's bosom by a liak in number two hold, which soon had the engine room flooded nnder seventeen feet sf water. Captain Bissett, according to opinions together from messages received, ordered the lifeboat with two officers and eleven men to put away from the Importer to reach I land and bring assistance, not be- canse of any fear that the lumber-1 laden steel steamer would sink. Wireless Damaged With her wireless out of commission and her captain determined not to take a tow, and with her position off the main lines of commerce, due to her disabled drifting, the handful of men tagging at the oars of the open boat held the safety in their hands. The Cordova, slightly off her course, according to messages received, came upon Importer by pure chance and immediately rendered what assistance she could. In the dark, the disabled vessels low position in the water accounted for the earlier reports that she was sinking.

26 recessing at midnight last night for thirty days the senate put aside the anti-beer bill long enough to adopt the conference report on the agricultural credits bill already agreed to by the House and sent it to the President for his approval. The measure, as agreed to, empowers the War Finance Corporation to issue $1,500,000,000 in its own bonds, and to lend $1,000,000,000 for financing agricultural exports. The House refused to agree to Senate provisions, which would allow the corporation to lend, directly to European purchasers of the commodities, but the compromise will allow the finance corporation to lend to anybody, provided satisfactory collateral is furnished to it for the sums advanced. The extra $500,000,000 of War Finance Corporation securities authorized by the bill, it is expected, will be sold, and the money utilized for purchase of railroad securities. Conferees also agreed to eliminate the Senate provision allowing the War Finance Corporation to lend $200,000,000 to the Federal Farm Land Bank.
