Royalty in Peril on Stranded Ship First Act of King George's Sister is to Send Queen Alexandra a Message of Cheer. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation company's steamer Delhi, from london for Bombay, conveying the Princess Royal Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar, the Duchess of Fife, | sister of King George V, with her hus- band, the Duke of Fife, and their daughters, with many other passen- gers, on their way to Egypt, went ashore off Cape Spartel, on the Mo roecan coast, at the entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar. The position of the Delhi was con- sidered so perilous that the British cruiser Weymonth was ordered to leave for the scene with a detach- ment of artillery in charge of a life saving apparatus, Immediately the news was received that the vessel had gone ashore, all available tugs and several war ves- sels were dispatched at fall speed to the scene. Lifesaving apparatus also was sent both by land and sea. A storm was raging and it was difficult for the rescuers to get close to the Delli, but with the assistance of the French cruiser, Friant, sent by the French navai authorities from Tan- gler, the women and children were taken off and landed. The princess and her daughters were among those rescued, and they are now on their way to Gibraltar on a warship. The Duke of Fife remain- ed on board. The rescue was accom- plished under great difficulties, as a heavy sea was running. Three boats were swamped, but all who had been in them were picked up. . The princess royal and her family were not rescued by the Friant, but were taken off the Delhi in a lifeboat and landed at Cape Spartel. From that place they traveled overland to Tan- gler, where they went on board a war- ship and proceeded to Gibraltar. ‘The landing of the passengers was a dangerous undertaking, and all con- cerned were extremely anxious. The waves were tremendous, and the surf- boats were constantly threatened with swamping. The royal princess and her daughters suffered like the rest, An eyewitness of the landing on the beach says one boat capsized in the surf, and all the occupants were drenched to the skin. One of the daughters of the Duchess of Fife was narrowly saved from drowning by a sailor who grabbed her by the shoul ders and held her up until the iwo were dragged ashore. The Duches: of Fife and her two daughters, after! borrowing some clothes at the light- house, rode here on horseback. One of the launches of the French cruiser Friant, which had rendered the bhrav- est service in taking off the women and children, was swamped and sank. Six of the crew were drowned. i The governor of Gibraltar, Lieuten- | ant General Sir Archibald Hunter, is preparing rooms at the government house for the reception of the prin- cess roval and her family on their ar- rival. The princess roval sent a wireless message to Queen Alexandra, saying: “All are safe on board the Delhi,” The message was sent through the wireless station at Cadiz, and the princess ! added a request that it should be | made public. ! It is believed that there is no im- | mediate danger of the Delhi founder- | ing, but hitherto the efforts to get her off have proved unavailing. The weather, too, is becoming worse, and the smaller vessels assisting in the rescue found difficulty in keeping near, owing to the roughness of the surf. Republicans Bar Primaries, The Republican nationa: committee at its meeting in Washington defeated the effort of Senator Borah, of Idaho, to inject an optional! presidential pref- arence primary plan in the call issued by the committee for the national con- vention to be held next year to nomi nate candidtaes for president and vice president, ‘The committee chose Chicago as the city for the convention, and decreed that the convention should begin on June 18. The only serious clash of the fae- tions was over the question of primar- ies. Mr. Borah began his fight in a sub-committee appointed to draft the form of the call and carried it into the session of the full committee in the shape of a minority report. He was defeated by a vote of 42 to 7, and the call was adopted in practically | the same language which was wed) four vears ago.
