As the captain. Arthur, Olson, who has sailed Jhe lake 1* yearn sought to head Iris boat Into the wind, the passengers rushed to the portslde away from the driving rain. The boat dipped sharply and as the lake water rushed over tho decks, turned over. Children, with candles and pop corn still clutched In their hands, fought to free themselves, but t?ie weight of chairs and other encum brances on deck held them under. Some were thrown free of the boat and many of these grabbed up belts and rafts as the steamer righted Itself and sank until all but the roof of tho superstruc turo was submerged. Twenty-one bodies were recov ered before the steamer was raised to he towed ashore. The others were found after the craft was brought to the surCace. The Ave members of the crew escaped and these, all experienced sailor* saved many from drown ing by tossing life preservers and rafts to those in the water. The Favorite's two lifeboats also were unleashed and Into these clamb ered a number of the survivors.

The yield Is declared to be excellent I hi* year, hut growers are some what'concerned over the relative ly low prices the patotoe* are bringing at the opening of \\w season, as compared with other years. The first hulk shipment to pnss throiiKh Klizahetli City. IT barrels in all. was consigned by former' Sheriff II. L Griggs. of Point Har bor. on Tuesday.

Itetums* from the ship ment had not been received up to today, according to It. C. Griggs, of the staff of the exchange. I At the opening of the sweet po tato season last year, sweets were bringing $14 a barrel, as com pared with fs this year. The low er price this season Is ascribed to heavy shipments from Florida. . Georgia aiul Alabama. The crop from those growina regions Is ex pected .to be cleaned up by the lat ter .part of next week; and that circumstance lead potato brokers here to the opinion that there should he no material weakening in the murket to affect the Curri tuck crop. Last year. Currituck's .sweet po taio crop bordered upon failure from the standpoint of yield, largely by reason of exceedingly dry weathei during early grow ing season, potatoes were dam aged somewhat by similar condi tions this year, but this is de clared to have been offset largely by recent heavy rains and hot weather. Though it is estimated that plantings are at least ten per cent below last season's a sub stantlally larger yield Is expected. Digging was in progress on a limited scale in Currituck today, and shipments through Klizahetli City tomorrow are expected to reach luo to 200 barrels. The bulk of the crop is shipped here by boat, and thence by rail to the Northern and Western markets. As In the case of Irish potatoes grown In this section .most of the sweets are sold at the loading points. Instead of being shipped to dealer-, and sold on commis sion, as was the case until recent years. Many buyers are scheduled to arrive here and in Currituck Hi the next two weeks, in anticipation of heavy diguing operations. With an exceedingly successful Irish potato season Just behind them. Currituck truck growers are hopeful of a substantial profit on thin year's crop of sweets as further help In offsetting a suc seawlon of unfavorable crop years that was not broken until this season.
