The steamer Prinzess Irene was 180 mllea away when the thrilling call Q. was picked up. Immediately upon receipt of the message of distress the operator flas-hed back his answer and learned tho location of tho stricken ship. The Prinzess Irene than hastened at full speed to the rescue and evory soul on board the Slavonia It was shortly before midnight of Wednesday, June 9, that the wireless distress signal was received on board thft Prinzess Irene.

The operator auswered, and Immediately got a message in reply saying the Slavonia was ashore and where, and asking tho Prinzess Irene to come to her assistance. At this time the Prinzess Irene was 180 miles distant from tho Slavonia. Her course was at once changed and she went ahead at full speed, fifteen knots an hour to the designated location, two miles southwest of Flores Island. The Prinzess Irene" arrived alongside ihe Slavonia Thursday afternoon. It was arranged that she should take on hoard the cabin passengers of the Cunard liner, and work was at onco begun.

All Thursday night was taken up with the transfer, and the 110 passengers, men, women and children, were on board by daylight. The transfer was mado withuut a Blngle accident. Friday morning early tho Prinzess Irene left the Slavonia for Gibraltar. In the meantime the wireless calls for help sent out by the Slavonia had been heard by the Hamburg-American Line steamer Bataviu, which also hastened to tho scene of tho wreck The intermediate and steerage passengers of the Slavonia were transferred also without accident to this vessel. There remained on board the Slavonia only the members of her crew, but ac- ordlng to tho latest intelligence received lere the entire ship's company left the vreck and went ashoro at Velas, on the sland of Flores, some time on Friday doming.

CEREMONIES AT THE PLAZA Governor Hughes and Other Speakers Address a Great Throng in Long Island City. Preened and bedecked like a bride, the Queensboro Bridge was petted and eulogized Into official being at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The fructification of the dream which originated in the mind of Dr.

Thomas C-Rainey in the early 60s, "was attended by ceremonies befitting in every way of the occasion. The cantilever, the greatest of Its kind in the vorld. was all but smothered by the flags which hung from every pinnacle and waved in the breeze as if (beating dme to the playing of the bands nnd the cheering of the crowds which helped usher tho span into formal existence. It had taken six days to decorate the structure. The "r-wakening of Long Island." as the dedication of the bridge was character ized, was accomplished without the aid or need of i larm clocks.

That island, indeed, must have been deaf and dumb and blind had it not seer the wilderness of bunting displayed on ell sides and heard the blare of bands, the shrieking of water craft and the fmashlr.g cheers of the enthusiastic ones who were present at the ceremonies and lined the course of the parade. And 11 the of Old Father Knickerbocker was In attendance, as undoubtedly it was thai old gentleman must have been quite flustered with vanity as his representatives, in hii! name, formally and officially contracted for him his latest and, up to the present time, his best marriage Big Crowd on Hand to See the Ceremonies. The effect of the long campaign of ex ploitation and advertisement undertaken by the celebration committee was evi denced by the size of the crowds tha gathered to witness the parado and dedi cation. Platoons of police were on duty on both approaches of the span tt rent accidents. Long before the parade reached end of the bridge the sidewalks were a mass of people, whom tho police kept from spreading over into the streets with! difficulty.

As far as possible, also, enough of a gangway was kept open along the sidewalks to permit pedestrians to pass. On the Manhattan approach to the bridge 400 hundred policemen were on duty, in charge of Inspectors Titus and Boettler and Captains Tappan and Martens. All the houses on Fifty-ninth street from Fifth avenue to tho bridge displayed flags and bunting. One enterprising merchant took advantage of a permission offered yesterday to run a line of buses across the bridge, there being no cars running. Tho fare was 5 cents per person, there being seven buses in opcra- The Climax of Eight Years Work.

The Queensboro Bridge, the latest link binding Manhattan to Long Island, and the third great span to be completed across the East River, was officially r- cognized as a bridge and lorough plaza an hour later than the scheduled time. The ceremonies of dedication were Ihe climax of more than eight years of work and Ihe expenditure of more than i The Borough of Queens had been preening and grooming itself for nearly a year for the ceremony. The dedication of Ihe cantilever had been more extensively advertised than that of any other bridge ever built over local waters, and its people rose to the occasion magnificently. Aside from questions of local pride and the belief that the structure will accomplish a transformation of a large part of Long Island, the completion of the span marks an epoch in bridge building. Th.

Queensboro Bridge is the largos kind, bearing traffic, in the wor of its length of the entire cantilever is 3,724 feet, with its highest tower shooting its slat. Iv height over "no into the air.

Celebration Committee's Hard Work. The success of the parade and the ded- ation exercises following was largely due to the efforts of the celebration very largely to tne ncanj co-operation and enthusiasm of the peopio throughout the city and Long isiani. The parade was mobilized at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, proceeding from that nolnt un Fifth avenue to Fifty-ninth street and thence across the Queensboro Bridge and down Jackson ave the Queens County court uoust tho marchers were disbanded. Great Representation of Civic Bodies. the gre Which rched In nd evoked the chl of those who stood along the line of march were representatives of practically every civic organization or which the borough could boast.

Including military com panies, platoons of cavalry, artillery and police Reviewing stands had been erected at the Long Island City plaza, and from this vantage point those who were fortunats enough to have seats witnessed the parade. Among these were officials of th-greater city and public men from various parts of the country. On one of the stands there were 1.500 little girls so placed and attired as to form a living flag, and their shrill, childish voices, as they sang patriotic airs, mingled with the cheers of the people.
