Big Ocean Liners Show Effects of Terrific Storm Transatlantic Liners Reach Port Several Hours Late, With Rigging Sheathed in Ice. ^ ■■ ■ New fork, Feb. 19.—Eattered by mjge wa\\p encountered in a terrific storm continuing since Wednesday, four big liners limped into port yester day with bulwarks sheathed in ice. Crushed lifeboats and bent and twist, ed rigging were in evidence. Meanwhile ships were rushing to rescue of the crew of the schooner Kantino, sinking off Nantucket light ship, and abandoned with decks awash. Other reports came by radio telling of vessels damaged in the storm and which will be delayed in reaching port. With 60 feet of port bulwarks on (he forecastle swept away, the giant Cunarder Berengaria docked late to day behind schedule. Its decks were covered with ice. Captain Irvine said that since Wednesday the Berengaria had been fighting its way through huge seas, driven by a heavy gale. Snow, vain and sleet, combined with the big waves, held the ships back, 1 but the roughest weather was en countered Saturday. Oblivious to the danger, passengers were dancing and singing in the big ball room, when suddenly a. huge ; ■f'mber swept away the bulwarks. The Berengaria trembled and was brought almost to a standstill. The j entire crew was ordered out to clear ] away the wreckage. Several hours later another big sea | swept the ship and did more damage, j ,?he crew again was placed in jeop ; ardy while clearing away the debris. ; The liner was held off Ambrose light for several hours because of unfavor able tide conditions. The liner France of the French line j also came into port today damaged by i the storm and several hours late, ' ■while the Lapland and the Roussillon ! docked showing the effects of the terrific gale. The shipping board l.ner America arrived at Ambrose : light last night, nearly two days late because of the storm, and will not dock until today. 31 Dead as Result of N.

Rut don't forget the k.ddics- they'll like Peter Rabbit and till the feat vf then, and. yes. eft-:* you’ve read a few chapters for them you'll find that you have become interested, too. Carefully Created. That's one of the delights of the Burgess Bedtime Stories, written by Thornton W. Burgess and illustrated by Harrison Cady. No better tales fer chlldhen ever were written than those of Thornton Burgess, yet at the same time they are so carefully cre ated and molded that grownups also find them interesting, particularly those of adult years who have been fortunate enough to" retain some of the happiness of their youth. Mr. Burgess first originated “Little Bedtlre Stories" to amuse ills boy. Later when the periodical of which he was editor was purchased by an other concern and his services were no longer required, he sold the “Little Bedtime Stories" and from them gained an immediate livelihood. So successful has been the work that his books now are more widely read than the popular novels, and his income so comfortable that he is not worried by the excess profits tax clause. With other new features The Omaha Bee has obtained In its (-(Torts to pro vide for its readers the most complete newspaper possible, the Burgess Bed time Stories will appear each day be ginning March 14. Don't fail to read them to the yourgsters and then find how much you'll enjoy them your self. Language Law Up to High Court Cases of Nation-Wide Im portance to Be Decided in Present Session.
