the little fellow, who, swathed in blankets, lay blinking at his nurse,
described the death of Mrs. Allison. She had gone to the deck without
her husband, and, frantically seeking him, was directed by an officer to
the other side of the ship.

She failed to find Mr. Allison and was quickly hustled into one of the
collapsible life-boats, and when last seen by Major Peuchen she was
toppling out of the half-swamped boat. J. W. Allison, a cousin of H. J.

Probably few deaths have caused more tears than Arthur Ryerson's, in
view of the sad circumstances which called him home from a lengthy
tour in Europe. Mr. Ryerson's eldest son, Arthur Larned Ryerson, a Yale
student, was killed in an automobile accident Easter Monday, 1912.
