Rhyl Men Arrive Home. Special Interview. Captain Hawthorne's Story. The Crew Lose Everything. Only a meagre outline of the story of the wreck of the Normandy was obtainable in Rhyl up till last Thursday, when seven members of the crew of that ill-fated vessel, who hail from Rhyl, reached their homes. It will be remembered that the vessel was commanded by Captain Hawthorne, who, up till recently, was in charge of the yards at the Voryd Harbour, and it was understood that he personally had a large interest in the boat, the intention being to engage in traffic on the Ameri- can lakes-a very lucrative form of business ac- cording to all accounts. With Captain Hawthorne sailed seven Rhyl men, the crew numbering in all eighteen. On May 9th, news arrived that the Normandy had been wrecked off Cape Race, and from that time until the men's relatives actually saw them safe and sound, they had suffered some anxiety as to whether they were actually safe or not. THE S.S. "N ORMANDY." This photo was taken in Hull Docks just before the vessel's departure on her first long, but fatal, voyage. A HEARTY GREETING. The men, who had come from St. John's, Newfoundland, by the Allan Line to Glasgow, arrived in Rhyl by the 9.26 p.m. on Thursday last. On the platform a large number of rela- tives and friends had assembled to greet them, and when the men left the train, they had to undergo a prolonged operation of cordial hand- shaking-in some cases the welcome home was emphasized by a more affectionate method-and all were heartily congratulated upon their safety. The names of the men were:Edward Wil- liams, leading fireman, who is staying with his sister at 29, Abbey-street W. Evans and J. Evans, Steampacket Hotel, both seamen; Arthur Kempster, seaman, who at present has no fixed home C. Banks, seaman, whose ad- dress was not stated A. Hughes, trimmer, and Teddy Kerry, steward. The men, as will be seen from the story of the occurrence below, lost everything they had, many of them having purchased new kits before going out. CAPTAIN HAWTHORNE'S STORY. The crew landed at Tor's Cave, and Captain Hawthorne, with his wife, four children, nurse, and maid, and Mr. J. Constant, arrived in St. John's on Sunday, May 8th. On arriving there the Captain told the following story, which has been supplied to us by a member of the crew:- The Norinandy left Holyhead on April 25th, with a cargo of pig iron, bound for Toronto, via Hailfax, and during the first part of the voyage encountered south-west, west, and north-west gales up to Tuesday, May 3rd, when a dense fog was run into, continuing for three days, dur- ing which time nothing was seen, and it was im- possible to take any observations. On Thurs- day afternoon, at four o'clock, Captain Haw- thorne commenced sounding, and found no bot- tom up to midnight, when he got seventy fathoms. The soundings were continued, and the next morning, at six, twenty-nine fathoms were felt. The steamer then went ahead for two knots, when another sounding registered twenty-five fathoms, and the Captain judged that he was near the Virgins. THE FATAL BANK. He then kept due south for five miles, sound- ings recording thirty-five fathoms, went on the same course for another five miles, getting fifty fathoms, and then kept away South sixty fathoms west true," which course would shape up for Halifax. Soundings were continued, and the range obtained was consistent with cross- ing the Banks until midnight Friday, when sixty- two fathoms were got. The steamer was then going dead slow, it being foggy all the time. At 12.15, the Captain, who had been on deck for 52 hours previously, went below, and the mate took the watch. At 12.45 the steamer struck, the engines still going dead slow. Three shocks were felt. The ship did not hang," but swung off, then went ahead under her starboard helm, and turned her head around to E.N.E. It was thought at the time that the ship had struck an iceberg, as she had not hung," and no land or breakers could be observed. LAUNCHING THE BOATS. The holds were at once inspected, when it was found that the fore peak, holds No. 2 and No. 3, and the engine room were dry, but in No. 1 the water was level with the outside, having made seven feet and a half within eight mjnutes of the ship striking. All hands were then immediately ailed on deck, and the two life-boats provisioned. By 1.30 the ship had sunk so much forward, that the fore peak was level with the sea. Mrs. Haw- thorne, the four children, the nurse and maid, and Mr. Constant were then placed in the first boat, which was in charge of the mate, Mr. Steele. Three seamen rowed the boat away, and stood by. Shortly afterwards the remaining officers and members of the crew, fifteen in number, got into the other boat, in charge of Captain Hawthorne, who was the last to leave the ship. A THRILLING EXPERIENCE. This boat, on being launched, was struck by a heavy sea, and the stern stove in, so that as soon as it touched the water, it began to fill, and the top was soon level with the water, only her patent air-tight tanks keeping her afloat, so that all in her were up to their waists in water. There was only a bucket that could be used for baling, but the Captain and second officer re- moved their sea boats, which were also used for baling out. The mate's boat then came to the assistance of the others, and eight of the crew got into it, the remainder staying in the water- logged boat. The water was icily cold-so cold that they could not row-and eventually they were taken in tow. When daylight came-after a painfully cold night-they were towed into Tor's Cave. In the meantime the steamer had sunk shortly after the second boat had left her, going down head first with all her lights burning, as the dyn- amo was running up to the time the ship sank. Z" AN AWFUL NIGHT. The boats remained together within hail throughout the long night, the condition of those on board being anything but pleasant, as they had no idea where they were, and a big sea run- ning kept those in both boats busy baling; those in the Captain's boat being up to their waists in water. When daylight came the boats were I about fifteen miles off the land, and they rowed into Tor's Cave about eight o'clock. The people there did everything possible for the comfort of the shipwrecked ones, receiving them in various houses, giving them dry clothing, and warm food, and made all as comfortable as pos- sible until the Portia took them to St. John's on the Sunday. Captain Hawthorne has not returned with the crew, he having previously taken a house in Tor onto, to which place he has gone. While in St. John's, however, he averred that he was a heavy loser by the wreck, as he was part owner with Mr. Constant, and though partly insured, he places his loss at about £5,000, besides which Mrs. Hawthorne lost all her jewellery and effects. None of the officers or crew saved any of their belongings, but escaped with what they stood in. They were very thankful even for that, as things might have been very much worse. The Captain states that there was no excitement or confusion when the ship struck, and all stuck to their posts, while the crew speak 'in high terms of Captain Hawthorne's conduct. The Normandy is a new ship, only launched I in March from the yards of Earles & Co., Hull. She was specially built for traffic on the great Lakes, for carrying grain and other commodi- ties. She was 1,098 tons register, and the trip was her first long one. She had 1,800 tons of pig iron aboard, having been loaded at Middles- borough, in addition to a large quantity of stores. In all there were 27 souls aboard, all of whom had a narrow escape from death. SURVIVOR INTERVIEWED. A Weekly News representative was fortunate enough to obtain an interview with one of the crew, Edward Williams, the leading fireman, who is staying with his sister at 29, Abbey-street. Williams, who is a native of Towyn, Abergele, has now been going to sea for nine years, and is a muscular, modest fellow-in fact, typical of the men who at present roam our seas. His first experience of being wrecked has not caused him to think of abandoning a sea-going life, for he expressed his determination to our representative to seek another ship as. soon as he could raise the necessary funds to enable him to purchase another kit. For this is all I have," said he, pointing to the clothes and boots he wore. In the main he bore out Captain Hawthorne's narrative. At the time of the impact Williams was down below, and had just drawn one of the fires when he felt the ship bump three times. I Clad only in his singlet, he went on deck to see what was the matter. Throughout he was in the boat that was filled with water, and after com- ing from the hot stokehold, and being waist- high in icy sea water, his sufferings can be im- agined. Williams was the last to leave the ship before the Captain, of whose conduct he speaks in the highest terms. THE CAPTAIN'S BRAVERY. After they had cleared the Normandy, the men were practically all clinging on to the side of the boat, and despite strenuous baling, the boat was throughout filled with water. On hailing the mate's boat, the Captain shouted to his wife to wrap herself and the children well up, but not receiving a satisfactory answer swam out to the boat, and saw that this was done. He also or- dered the occupants to take some brandy he had had placed in the boat. Those in the other boat were also given brandy, which, of course, as- sisted the poor fellows to bear their sufferings. The water was intensely cold, causing their hands to become swollen and numbed. Once on the mate's boat coming near, several of the crew jumped into the water with a view of boarding her, and some of the men were allowed to get in, but Mr. Steele, seeing others coming, was obliged to row off, for fear of his boat being pverturned, and he had to study the women and children first. A NARROW SHAVE. Several of the men who did not get into the mate's boat had a rough journey back to the Captain's boat. Teddy Brooks, the steward, was in difficulties, but was safely assisted back' while a stoker from London got his legs entangled in a coat, and thought that he had been seized by a shark or some kindred fish. On learning what it really was, his fear was transformed into a fit of mirth. Every now and then a seal would pop up from the water, and after looking at them, disappear again. The crew began to get quite accustomed to the seals, and in time laughed at them. Soon after the ship struck, a host of brown birds, not unlike owls, hovered around the doomed vessel, evidently attracted by the electric light, and were so thick that several of them were easily caught. ON DRY LAND AGAIN. After six and a half hours' terrible exposure in the open and water-logged boat, which, by the way, kept tilting horribly, Williams and his companions were landed at Tor's Cave in an ex- hausted condition, the inhabitants doing their utmost to relieve their sufferings. In one house, they exhausted the stock of surplus cloth- ing, while their own clothes were being dried, and in one case, one of the crew donned a pair of lady's bloomers while his trousers were being dried. Only a few fisher-folk live at Tor's Bay. On Sunday they were taken by boat to St. John's and then despatched home via the Allan Line and Glasgow, through the kindly agency of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. But still the men's troubles are not over. Thev are practically penniless and clothesless, and it is suggested that a fund should be opened to en- able them to make a fresh start. Subscrip- tions towards this fund will be received at the Weekly News Office, Gladstone-buildings, Rhyl, and acknowledged in our columns.

Rhos Deanery Church Eisteddfod. A SUCCESSFUL EVENT. The annual Church Eisteddfod in connection with the Rhos Deanery was held on Thursday afternoon and evening in the National School, Llysfaen. The day was miserable in the ex- treme, and was more typical of November than of the third week in glorious May. The weather discomforts were added to by the lack of ac- commodation and comfort in the school, which is decidedly too primitive for the holding of such a gathering. The school is in the shape of the letter T, and is quite unsuitable for the hold- ing of such an event. Many were under the impression that the function would be held in a spacious marquee, but such was not the case. In the evening the weather cleared up somewhat. The afternoon meeting was presided over by -Air. H. J. Wright, M.A., and that of the even- ing, in the absence of Mr. J. E. Oldfield, by the Rev. David Lewis, Rector of Llysfaen. The proceedings were conducted by the Rev. G. Williams, B.A., Glan Conway, whilst Miss Gwen Roberts, of the Vicarage, Colwyn Bay, was the accompanist. The following were the adjudicators: -Music, Mr. Peter Edwards (Pedr Alaw), Mus. Bac., Rhvl and Mr. T. Osborne Roberts, Llandud- no J 'poetry, the Rev. R. A. Williams (Berw), Waenfawr; essays, recitations, &c., the Rev. Hamer Lewis, B.A., St. Asaph; carving, Mrs. E. James-Evans, the Vicarage, Llandrillo; handwriting and drawing, Mr. H. J. Wright, M.A. and miscellaneous, the Ladies Com- mittee. Mr. D. Jones, Bodhyfryd, Llysfaen, was the hon. local secretary, and the Rev. Ll. A. Richards, M.A., Tanycoed, Colwyn, hon. gen- eral secretary. To these two gentlemen in par- ticular much praise is due. The programmes were long, 21 items appear- ing for the first meeting and 22 for the second. Special prizes were given by Mr. J. E. Oldfield, Mrs Lloyd, Tanycoed; the Rev. Ll. A. Rich- ards, Miss Pryce Jones (Old Cblwyn), Miss Johns (Colwyn Bay), Mrs Fleet, the Rural Dean, Rev. E. James-Evans, Mrs. H. J. Wright, Mrs. Digby Smith, Mrs. Mellor (Abergele), Mrs. Horton (Bryn Dinarth, Colwyn Bay), Miss Webb, Rev. John Griffiths i(Colwyn), Mrs. Pryce Jones,' Mrs. Richards, Canon Hugh Roberts (Colwyn Bay), the Rev. Prebendary Crump. There was plenty of variety in the programme and from an Eisteddfodic point of view the event was a success. Mr. Peter Edwards has a very happy way with children when competing, and has the knack of putting nervous little ones at their ease by his fatherly kindness. It is always a pleasure to see Pedr Alaw at com- petitive meetings. His young colleague, Mr. T. Osborne Roberts, of Llandudno, was also given a good reception, and is also gifted in the manner of delivering his judgments. The meet- ings were opened by the singing of the old favourite hymns, The Church's One Founda- tion and 0 Fryniau Caersalem respect- ively. Particularly pleasing was the singing of Master Frank Buckley, of Colwyn, who was an easy winner in the children's solo, 0 let the kind minstrel." Master Frank has undoubtedly a good future before him. Mr. David Jones, Bodrhyfedd, proved himself a very meritorious carver, and also a clever impromptu reader. Mr. Jones also acted in his efficient and unas- suming manner as the local secretary of the event. The children in the various competitions did very well and gave immense pleasure to the parents and friends who were present. There is no doubt of the great good that these competi- tive meetings in the Deanery have done. The stimulating of the competitive spirit by such Eisteddfodau is the means of bringing out latent talent. Llandrillo-yn-Rhos and Llanelian are amongst the most enthusiastic and successful competitors, whilst Mr. Ted Evans is to be con- gratulated upon his success with his small choir from St. Paul's Church, Colwyn Bay. It was no disgrace for the other choir from the same church, under the baton of the Rev. R. D. Hughes, to be beaten by Mr. Evans' choir. The outstanding feature of the competition in the children's choir was that it was St. Paul's Church only that could produce the two com- peting choirs. The collect recitings in English and Welsh were very praiseworthy. Confec- tionery was encouraged, Miss Maud Evans, of Colwyn, being the winner. Little Charlie Shingler is a coming reciter, and Rhos-on-Sea is proud of him. The Misses Maggie and Maud Hughes, of Colwyn, showed much taste and ability in the making of blouses, and the wee girls, Polly and Hannah Jones, of Llanelian, sang pretttily in the modulator test and won first and second prizes. Miss Ethel Sanderson, as winner of the contralto solo, showed, as did many other competitors from Colwyn, what a spirit of healthy rivalry permeates the young people of Colwyn, which reflects great credit upon those who train the children so well. Master Harry Conway proved a good essayist, and Miss Sarah Ann Jones, Llanelian, a cap- able pianist. The plain pinafore, impromptu reading, handwriting, stanzas, translation, and many other competitions were all praiseworthy. The Executive is to be congratulated upon the success, under such adverse conditions, of the 1910 Eisteddfod. A word of praise is also due to the Rector of Llysfaen, the Rev. David Lewis, for looking after the comfort of those who were strangers to Llysfaen. The following were the awards — Home-made cake: Miss Maud Evans, Col- wyn.

After an excittng contest, the Colwyn. Choir was ad. judged the winner, and Mr. E. Davies was cheered as he went for the prize. The concluding item was the chief choral com- petition for the singing of the anthem, I will always give thanks," choirs not to exceed 35 in number. Three choirs competed, Colwyn Bay, Colwyn, and Llysfaen, and the first-named, under the baton of the Rev. R. D. Hughes, was an easy first.

A Composer's Rebuke to Eisteddfod Committees. In delivering his adjudication on the choral contest at the Llannefydd Eisteddfod, Profes- sor D. Jenkins (Aberystwyth), complimented the Committee on their selection of music for com- petition. Unfortunately the Committees of the Eisteddfodau retarded the progress of music by their persistent selection of well-known and well- worn pieces of music; so that choirs and con- ductors had no chance to develop as readers and exponents of modern music. Committees that were formed under the auspices of churches and chapels were the worst offenders in this respect. Unless these meetings were formed with the pri- mary object of cultivating a higher taste for music and literature, the old institution was doomed. It was full time for religious organisa- tions to devise some means apart from the Eis- teddfod to pay their debts. To select hack- neyed pieces as a draw to competitors was un- worthy of their high calling, and to do this with the sole object of making money was degrading. When would they have Eisteddfodau similar to the musical contests held in England, pro- moted soely for the advancement of music, yea, similar to what they had in the National Eis- teddfod ? This was the persistent cry of their chief musicians. Might their hopes be soon realised.

A Climber's Memorial. Mrs. Robertson, mother of Mr. Donald Robertson, who was killed whilst climbing near Ogwen Lake at Easter, has intimated, through the Vicar of Glanogwen, her intention of build- ing a chapel for holding burial services at Coet- mor Cemetery, Bethesda, where her on was buried.
