NEW YORK, Sept. tt.-LIko spotlights from the wings of a stage, powerful aearchllshts played from two steamboats Inst night upon a struggllnsf spock In the Hudson River off 130th street. Thrilled spectators on the Rlvcrsldo Drive via duct followed the spotlights and saw a young woman fighting for her life. The audience saw the outline of th hero, John Condon, of 632 Wtst 133tli street, dive Into the swirling tide, saw him grasp at the girl and catch a frag ment of her dress. Then they saw the tide carry her away. An she sank Con don went down for her like a submarine end searchlights swept tho river nerv ously until they found Condon again, as ho rose with one hand holding to the young woman's hair. But the tide cuts In strong about the pierheads there, and Condon lost his hold as tho girl was carried out and then down, the spot lights vividly displaying her last strug gle while the audience quivered. Miss Dcsse Armstrong, of 469 West 67th street, and William B, Cist, a salesman, of 105 West 183d street, went for a canoo ride late In the afternoon. She and Mr. Cist were engaged to be married. He and Archer Armstrong, her brother, were classmates at Tale. While trying to get Into the slip at 130th street pier the canoe was overturned by the current and their cries quickly at tracted the crowd. Hundreds of automobiles stopped on tho Riverside Drive viaduct, while the Recrea tion and other piers soon filled. A big river steamboat trained Its searchlight on the water, while Its passengers lined the rails. Another steamboat at the pier ndded Its searchlight to the other. Mr. Cist tried to reach Miss Armstrong, but failed because tho current carried her out so swiftly. But he waa still In the water when she went down, and he and Condon were pulled out with ropes. Whtn Mr. Cist called for Miss Arm strong yesterday, she said she was afraid to go canolng, as she had some Indescrib able fear that something would happen. Mrs. Armstrong, her mother, retired early last night and she was dreaming that sho saw her daughter In the water and struggling to reach a boat, she said, when the door bell rang, This awakened her and she found a policeman to tell her that her daughter was drowned.

TJiU diary rIvch an ac count of the wanderings of this Canadian Arctic exploration expedition from the time It left British Columbia In June, 1913, until Juno 13, of this year. The diary ends with the party at Flaxman's Island, Alaal.a. That the loss of the Karluk occurred subsfluent to this latier date is indicated by the fact that no mention is made ut that mishap llentton is made ot the tact that tho Stefar.sson party crossed the trail of Krnest de Koven LelRngwell, the Pasadena explorer, who has since returned from the Ari-tic and is now on his way home. The dlarj indicates that Stefannson, McConnell and a hunting party left the Karluk Sunday, September 51, W13 while the vessel was stuck In the lc-i sixteen miles off shore, and beciuse of the breaking up of the ice ai.d bad weather were unable to reach her again.
