KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 25 — (CP cable)— An overloaded harbor launch, crowded with happy Christ- mas holidayers, capsized les than a mile off-shore today, bringing death to at least l5 persons. At nightfall, five persons known to have been aboard the launch were unaccountcred for. The bodies of nine others, including four chil- dren, were recovered from the wat- er shortly after the launch over- turned and one other man died in hospital. All the launch's passen- gers were negroes. I At eight o'clock this morning. the launch "Zephir" pulled away from ‘Victoria. market pier. The littie boat; was licensed to carry only 30 passengers, but survivors said they believed it was heavily overloaded. Half-an-hour after, its scream- ing passengers were tossed into the harbor when. the Zephir over- turned while circling a steamship anchored in the stream. SCENES OF CONFUSION In scenes of terrifying confusion 21 persons were rescued by near- by boats. Many of those rescued were unconscious when plucked from the water and required hos- pital treatment. Doctors said three were in critical condition and near death. Harbor officials grappled for un- recovered bodies all day without success. At nightfall they halted their operations, but marked the scene of the disaster with a buoy so they could make a new start at their gruesome task tomorrow. It was impossible to determine immediately the number of passen- gers the Zephir carried on her ill- fated trip. The coxwain who held the only records of the cruise was among those drowned. It was known there were at least 35 pe - (Continued on page 6) Merry tlhristmas For The Mahaney Quads SAINT JOHN, N.B., Dec. 25 — (Cm-Thirteen wasn't an unlucky number for the Mahaney quadrup. lets today, because they had a merry Christmas on their l3th_ birthday. | Among the more useful gifts to‘ the three girls and a boy were outfits of clothing [or each and school supplies.

Sanfq Pl] Distribution The Guardian Santa. Pal staff had an excrptionally busy day mak- ing up and delivering Santa Pal parcels to the many children whcse names had been submitted for tile consideration of generous-hearted readers. At the last minufe a long list was received from a city clergy- man, which, the Santa Pal staff im- mediately tackled, being in the happy position of being alble to pro- vide giffs for each of the addition- al names. The list of deserving cases sub- mitted '.Ol‘ the Guardian readers was the greatest since the Santa Pal plan was started’ there being no fewer than 758 children to be provided for. Thanks to the gen- erosity and good-heartedness of Guardian readers, every one was amply supplied with the essentials for a full stooicng on Christmas morning. It took the Guardian staff from 9 o'clock in the morning until after '1 p. m. to deliver the parcels at. the respective homes of the intended recipients on Christmas Eve. It should be mentioned that the 3rd Charlottetown Girl Guides. the Kirk Rover Scouts. and the Basilica Boy Scouts volunteered their serv- ices to The Guardian to asset in the good work of preparing and de- llverinz the parcels; offers wh'ch The Guardian greatly rgprrciates.
