Five of Crew of Nor- Wetlflh Freighter Rescued After Days sstélrift On Tropical

(‘at P. by Guardian's Special Wire) IGNGSTON, ‘amaica, April 11- Eleven deaths were ieared tonight as the toll of a Caribbean storm that sent a freighter plunging "$116111! to the bmtom 20 miles off-shore.

When darkness abut down, nine seamen oi the Norwegian steam- ship l-lavuioy were missing and two were dead. Only seven o1 her crew had reached land to tell" of sudden trendy. oi a losing bottle with death on the tropical sea, and o1 izhsciéie when 114199 had all but van-

Adrift For Plve Days

Fbr more than two days live of the survivors had drifted about the sea on a tossing piece oi flotseam, watching death brush them by and snatch shipunates away. .and watch- ing for the shlpa that would not come.

And for the some time the other Dairhadstoodfflectheronawave- lapped reef 20 miles offshore, searching the shlpiees water for resciiers,_and growing weaker iron: hangers-pd thirst and exposure to the blazing sun.

More than 4b "hours before boats picked them up today, their ship had 80m i0 the bottom off Jun- aioa’; Portland Point as she steam- ed from Black River, Jamaica, to- ward France with a cargo of log-

wood. ~

The ZMO-wn freighter. just 10 months of: the ways, was in coin- mand oi Captain Albert Kraut-sen of Oslo, Norway, one of o than. who died on the hatch cover that served seven men for a life rilt: The other was second engineer Kllldsen.

Trapped Below Decks

Death must have come more quickly for some of the missing men. Many were below decks, ac- cording to the survivors, when the Havmoy ran into the gale early Tuesday morning.

A ship's boy was at the wheel, but nothing seemed amiss until s half hour after the freighter struck the gale. Then there came a lurch to starboard, a swing beck to an even keel, and a long list to

port.

As the sleepy crew came tumb- ling up from their bunks, the ill- iiated Havnioy rolled over to star- board again and turned completely. It all took seven minutes. Plungcd into the sea, the Cap- tain, second engineer, cook and four seamen pulled themselves aboard a floating hatch cover and were soon swept aiway in the dark- ness. What happened to the nine men unaccounted for, they could only guess. Likely, the rescued men declared, the sharks had claimed them.

IDNDON, April il-The ques- tion whether appellants in Canad- ian criminal cases are entitled to carry an appeal to the Privy Coun- cil rests with their lordships oi the judicial committee.

‘Today they concluded ' the lengthy hearing of argument on the special petition for leave to appeal from Judgments in the Quebec criminal courts. which eon- victed five Canadian coal corpor- ations, the appellants, on charges of operating an illegal combine, and lined them $30,000.

Thefmgument was entirely on the point whether the Statute oi Westminster empowered the Do- minion Government to amend the Criminal Code, as it has done, pro-

biting appeals to the King-in- councll in criminal cases.

At the same time their lord- ships deferred decision on a peti- tion from the Irish Free State

MONTREAL, April l1——Hope the new basis of coal subveutions would enlarge the sale of Nova Bcotia coal in the winter months was expressed today by an official oi the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation in commenting upon an ordcr-in-council announced by the Dominion Fuel Board.

The order-in-council, he said, affected only that part of the aub- vention provisions dealing with all-rail deliveries oi coal to points in Quebec.

It places such deliveries on a parity with United States coal by paying the difference in competi- tion when the price of American

coal is lower at the delivery point-
