Margaret Patch and Patricia Hale Took Emergency Kits On Embarking PRECAUTION HALF A JOKE But Proved All Too Well Advised Athenia Was Torpedoed Both Girls Were Unhurt By JOHN R. STURDY.

(Gazette Staff Reporter.) Aboard Athenia survivors' special train, en route from Halifax, September 13. Two Montreal girls who thought they might be torpedoed, and carried knapsacks containing warm sweaters and heavy shoes as a precaution and it was done half-jokingly arrived at Halifax today, the thought having turned into a grim reality. They were survivors frcm the sunken passenger liner Athenia. Patricia Hale and Margaret Patch had packed their knapsacks with a 5m. le.

Well, it looks like war, and Vi 11 be prepared for it," they said, when they left for home aboard the Athenia. So they gathered together a couple of big pull-overs, two pairs of brogues and some warm cloth-irg and put them aside in their cabin for use in emergency. "We weren't taking any chances." Hale said, "but we never tnought it really would happen." It did happen. On that night off the Hebrides, as the liner was steaming into the Atlantic towards Canada, a torpedo was loosed from an enemy submarine. The Athenia, struck near the strn, staggered under the blow.

The explosion blew out all her lights, and in the darkness the call camt for patenters to take the lifeboats. 'We groped around in our cabin," Mif Hale said, "and we found our knapsacks. Then we went on deck the upper deck and got into a lifeboat. I didn't see any people who were killed or injured we were too far up for that but I did hear frreams and shouts from the water." Hale, who is the granddaughter of T. B.

Macaulay, chairman of the Sun Life board, and Margaret Patch, daughter of Howard Patch, Montreal jeweller, were taken aboard the yacht Southern Cross and later transferred to the American freighter City of Flint. "I saw one lifeboat cut in two by the propeller of the Norwegian freighter Knute Neb-on." Miss Hale sa.d today, "and we hear that that at least three others capsized trying to get alongside that ship and the Southern Cross. It wasn't the fault of the two vessels. There was a heavy swell, and the lifeboats were caught against the side and stern of the ships." M.ss said she saw a Britith warship put shells into the stricken Athenia the following morning "about nine o'clock." She is also sure that the submarine fired on the Athenia after loosing the tor-jvedo. in an attempt to smahh the "But the shell misled," she added.

In the lifeboat, Miss Hale and Mis Path dug Into their knapsacks and gave clothing to other survivors "and then we lost what we had left." "We see anything thrill ing. Mifs Hale told newspapermen. "We just got off the ship and were rescued But we certainly were reared." The two girls were among a number of Montrealers who arrived tx3ay at Halifax in the City of Flint. One of them, Frank Rowe, choirmaster of the Church of St. Andrew and St, Paul, was suffering from injuries.

The others were all well and cheerful. A three-year-old girl, separated from her parents, was brought to shore by a Caradian, Mrs. John Davidson, of Winnipeg. The child's mother and father have been reported safe in Scotland, and the little girl is being taken to Ottawa awaiting their arrival. The father is David Cass-Begg.

who was on his way to the University of Toronto where he had ben appointed to a teaching post.

"Our lifeboat almost hit the submarine," Mary Kathryn Underwood, of Athens, said today as she told the story of how she and Ann Baker, of Houston, escaped from the sinking liner Athenia. "I was on mv way on deck when she was struck, thank Heaven, so just continued on to my boat station. There wasn't much con fusion.

I was too excited to be frightened. "We were in a boat with 38 women and only three men. All of us took turns at the oars. "As soon as she was struck all the lights on the ship went out. I started to look for my friends.

Women as well as men took a hand in the rowing. "A little while after we left tr.e Athenia's side we saw the periscope of the submarine and nearly hit it. didn't see her come to the surface," Sue Harding, of Fort Worth. one of the girls who took the City of Flint from Glasgow instead of joining her friends on the ill-fated Athenia. said.

"We were about 100 miles ahead of the Athenia. "Between 8 and 8.30 we turned back to the rescue. It was noon the next day when we took the passengers off the Swedish yacht. "More than one torpedo was let go (u-fording to what the passengers told me. The cutter took off the more seriously injured with little difficulty."

They were taken aboard the freighter from the. yacht Southern Cross, and Captain Joseph Gainard, of Norfolk, and his crew turned the vessel inside out for them. Bunks were built tween-decks, and the 223 men, women and children were given every piece of spare clothing the sailors could scrape together, fed regularly at nine sittings in the saloon for each meal, and made to feel as comfortable as possible in the desperately cramped quarters of the freighter, which already had 39 Americans aboard, escaping from Lurope. "I've got the finest crew a man ever wished to sail with." Captain Gainard said.

"I ran my ship. They did the rest. God bless every one ci mem In any story of disasters at sea there are a hundred individual cases of heroism. High upon the list cf this one will so the name of (onola Stioghmeier. nurse of the 10-month-old daughter of F.rncst Lubitsch, Hollywood director.

When she came aboard the yacht Southern Cross, this little Rre.v-hired German woman had the baby clutched at the back of her neck keeping the child out of the water. Halifax met the Athenia survivors as the City of Flint had rescued them. They were taken into Immigration quarters here, given baths and medical treatment, presented with clothes every single one of them and treated to coffee and sandwiches. In their newly acquired suits and dresses they hardly recognized one another.

Nearly ail the survivors left westward by special train to Montreal, but 50 were transported by Coast Guard cutter to Boston. Some of them, once they had got ashore, into the" arms of relatives. Others sat on the benches in Immigration quarters, alone except for the Red Cross nurses who did a heroic job in comforting them Some were crying. In cots of the Immigration hospital, little babies nestled in the arms of nurses, and there were women who were sick and exhausted and men who had broken arms and injured bodies. Real tragedy stalked through this arrival on the soil of Canada.

Down the gangplank, after most of the survivors had disembarked from the City of Flint, was carried the plain wooden casket containing the body of ten-year-old Margaret Havworth of Hamilton, Ont. She died four days bro, at sea, succumbing to a head injury suffered when her mother was rescuing her from the sinking liner. AccordinK to most of the passengers aboard the Athenia, there was no panic when the torpedo struck. In pitch darkness the people weni icj uieir meooat stations, some with life belts, others-without.

From all the stories that enmt from the City of Flint today from people who were only too glad to talk and others who were reticent there was one statement that was unanimous: The Athenia was torpedoed. From Captain Gainard of the City of Flint came this statement; "There should be absolutely no criticism of the judgment of Captain James Cook of the Athenia He was travelling the safest route across the Atlantic in a time turh as this."

It is dedicated to "the memory of Margaret Hayworth who died aboard this vessel this day of in juries sustained in the torpedoing the Athenia September 3." The poem: Well here is peace, the peace that lasts forever. The peace of still blue lips and darkened eyes That Stare through half-shut lashes antl will never Awaken to the glint of azure skies.

Ten years she grew and budded for tonight: Ten years of nurture to be recon ciled With darkened eyes reflecting life less light. What was her fault?

PEACE WITH HITLER AGAIN HELD FUTILE Might Deal With 'Trustworthy' German Government, However London, September 13. CK Great Britain will never make peace with Adolf Hitler, the Ministry of Information reiterated tonight, declaring in a communique that no treaty could be reached with a leader who does not keep his word. A "trustworthy" German Government, the statement said, might meet with a different attitude from the Allies.

The communique: Well informed circles in London are considerably interested in stories which are reaching them from various quarters of offers of peace which may be made. The position of His Majesty's Government and of the French Government is of course well known and has already been made plain. It is that they couM only negotiate neace with a Government in Ger many whose word" can be trusted. so that there would be a certainty for the future. This could not be expected of Hitler, whose technique of brutal aggression against one non-German country after another is now obvi ous to all.

Once a trustworthy government Is in power in Germany, and the wrong done righted, the British Government would no doubt be ready, as they have repeatedly made known, to consider in consultation with their allies and other friendly powers how a just and fair peace could be established Europe. In such circumstances it would al.so be possible to examine how economic conditions could be readjusted so as to allow all countries to derive mutual benefit from the rrvmrces of the world. In a second communique the Ministry of Information said: The propaganda ministry in Berlin is evidently at ereat pains to conceal from the German public the firm determination of the British and French governments to re fuse all compromise with the Nazi reeime. Recent official statements confirming that resolve have been suppressed. The public is Riven to understand that Germany can oon make peace with Poland on the basis of the restoration of farmer German provinces and that it will then be pointless for Great Britain and France to continue the struggle against the Reich.

German propaganda, according to these reports, is being chiefly concentrated on Great Britain, and lit tle is being said about France, while i French action on the western front is described as a series of minor frontier incidents of no importance Dutch Plane Is Downed By a German Seaplane Berlin, September 13. uV) The German High Command reported tonight a German reconnaissance seaplane today shot down a Netherlands airplane. whoe identity was mistaken, off The Netherlands island of Ameland.

Cathar- 'Old Lady in Lifeboat' Saved Swimmer's Life Halifax, September 13. Credit for his rescue from the torpedoed Athenia goes to "an old lady in a lifeboat." G. W. Dow, hotel man of Lone Pine, said today as he reached here with other survivors on the freighter City of Flint. "The old lady kept reaching over the side and patting me on the head and telling me to hang on," Dow said.

"Only for her I don't think I ever would have lived to reach the yacht Southern Cross," "The water wasn't very cold but the torpedo apparently had opened one -of the ship's tanks, and the water was covered with oily scum. It kept getting in my mouth and nearly drowned me. "Finally, when my strength whs almost exhausted, they were able to make room for me in the boat." ATHENIA LIFEBOATS CAPSIZED IN RESCUE (Continued from Page One.) their stained shreds of clothing bore testimony to that. The tragedy of the Athenia was not over with the sinking of the vessel. Taking a cross-section of interviews given by survivors, and with the consideration that many of them were panic-stricken or.

dazed, it established that several lifeboats capsized in attempts to come alongside the rescue vessels, particularly the Norwegian freighter Knute Nelson. All those passengers interviewed stated they had seen lifebonts turn over as they were caught in the swirl of the ship's propeller. From these people, too. came the statement that practically all the lifeboats from the Athenia took water. Men and women survivors declared that they had tried to row boats that were flooded with water up to their waists.

There were conflicting reasons given for this. While it appears beyond doubt that the majority of the lifeboats had water in them only ont was reported to be completely dry considered judgment from shipping men and from some of the survivors is that the boats took water when they were launched from the Athenia in the rolling sea. or ship ped it during the night before com ing alongside the rescue ships. It is established (no matter the cause, which is controversial at this time) that survivors struggled with oars in boats that were half filled with water As for capsizing against tne sides of rescue shins, it is esti mated that at least five boats turn ed over.

I put up my arm I guess I thought I would ward off the blow and I can remember our lifeboat being battered against the ship. That is ail I remember, until I was picked out of the water. My best friend, Frederick Blair of Montreal, who was in the boat wth me. had disappeared." (Mr. Blair, organist at the Church of St.

Andrew and St. Paul, is among those reported missing.) These people, who came ashore today, all told the same story 'about the actual torpedoing of the 15,000 ton Scottish liner which was on her way to Canada with Canadians and Americans escaping from war-torn Europe. The majority of them were sitting down to dinner when the torpedo struck. The lights immediately went out. They scrambled on deck, to find seamen lying dead or dying, with one hatch blown off and rig ging strewn across the ship.

Some dove from the deck and tried to get aboard the boats from the water. All through the night these lifeboats circled around and around. waiting for a ship to appear Some declared A.

But there were just as many who stated that they had heard no other report following the first crash, and would not express an opinion that the ship had been shelled. George Calder, of New York City, declared that the Athenia had been fired on, hut that tne shell had missed.

"They were undoubtedly nut to net tbp wireless cabin before the SOS could be sent." he said. The tragedy of the Athenia was not only those who came into Halifax today. Their experience was of the horror of war at sea, and some of them showed it plainly on their faces, and there were some lying on cots in the hospital who bore painful iniuries as a result of th sinking. Yet they were a cheery lot these men and women in their odd bits of clothing, given them by seamen aboard the City of Flint.
