...days, and every day of the ten I heard praise, admiration and respect expressed by the captain, the mate and the whole ship's crew for General MacArthur and his family. In their opinion the General was "a Prince," "a regular fellow," "the finest man who ever drew the breath of life," and Mrs. MacArthur was "a lovely woman." ''a good sport." "the real thing," and the children were "well-behaved youngsters." General MacArthur was not obliged to travel on that abominable boat. He could have taken leave and traveled home in comfort on a liner...
With the sleek, prancing mien of a political Douglas Fairbanks, the No. i British Fascist, Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, put on a one-man show before 15.000 Londoners last week which ended in a hundred fist fights, scores of hair pullings and some bloody work with razors.

...liner drew close it steered slightly to port of the lightship and speed was reduced to 16 knots. The oscillograph detector was not used to find the distance, but the liner's position was computed by cross-bearings from shore radio stations. Few minutes before the crash, while the beacon indicated the lightship to be three degrees off the starboard bow, the signals were suddenly lost. The oscillograph detector went dead also. Then the lightship's fog whistle was heard. Every officer on the Olympic's bow agreed the sound was off the starboard bow. To play...
