Those hospitalized were severe
ly cut and bruised when they
jumped from the stricken craft
and scrambled over barnacle
covered ledges of the small island.
The Gulf Stream, which had
left Powell River en route to
Lund, B. C., was nearing the end ,
of her run about 90 miles north
of Vancouver when she crashed
» into the block-long rock.
The impact was so great that
one-third of the vessel drove out
of the water, tipping it at a 45 ds- 1
grce angle and forcing the aft sec- ;
tion under water as it canted on 1
its side.
• mand of the Gulf Stream, said the
mancl of the Guf Stream, said the '
death toll might have been far
greater if most of the passengers j
had not been discharged earlier at !
other coastal points. He estimated
• that about 150 others were aboard
when his ship left Vancouver.
“It was all over in 10 seconds,”
Craddock said.
Some of the passengers escaped
drowning when they smashed
windows to get out of the mid
ship salt^i which rapidly filled
with water.
The passage in which the Gulf
Stream piled up is between the
mainland and Savory Island near
Lund.

The statement charged Chile
with “breaking the most basic
principles of international rela
tions.”
It said the Chilean action
against the two Yugoslavs—Dali
bor Jakasa, secretary of the lega
tion at Buenos Aires, a visitor in
Santiago, and Andrej Cunja, for
mer charge d'affaires in Santiago
—was “a part of a planned cam
paign. not in the interests of the
people of Chile, but in the interest
of expansionistic tendencies of
certain powers which more and
more are directing the internal
and external policies of Chile.”
• The Chilean government, in
expelling Cunja and Jakasa, ac
cused them of fomenting, on or
ders from an international Com
munist organization, a campaign
against the United States and
against hemisphere defense plans,
through strikes and sabotage*.

Foreign Secretary
Bevin Gets Threats
Of Death
LONDON, (/P>—A foreign office
spokesman said today there had
been a revival of threats against
the life of foreign secretary Ernest
Bevin.
‘‘There had been a certain re
crudescence of threats against
Mr. Bevin,” the spokesman said.
The British Press Association
said detectives guarding the for
eign secretary had been told he
“might be attacked by terrorists.”
A Scotland Yard press officer
earlier denied a report published
in the London Evening Standard
that “a plot to kill Mr. Bevin has
been uncovered by Scotland
Yard.”
The officer would neither con
firm no deny a British Press Asso
ciation report that “a threat had
been received during the week
end.” Neither the agency nor the
Evening Standard indicated whom
the purported terrorists might be.
Asked for comment, a foreign
| office spokesman said:
“I feel fairly sure that no
threat has been received during
the week end. However, we possi
bly have some evidence of state
ments in various parts of the
| world that some people have it in
mind to attack Mr. Bevin.”
Bevin was one of several Brit
ish leaders to whom letter bombs
were addressed last June in a
“murder by mail” plot which
Scotland Yards blamed on Jewish
extremists operating from Italy.
Like all such letter bombs—en
velopes contained small, lethal
bombs adjusted to explode when
the envelopes were opened—the
one addressed to Bevin was inter
cepted and nutralized before it
could cause harm.
A plot to assassinate Bevin
while he was passing through
Belgium in April on his return
from the Moscow foreign minis
; ters’ conference was disclosed of
ficially last June.
Police blamed the Stern gang
i of the Jewish underground. They
said its agents hoped to kill the
foreign secretary by placing a
bomb in a railway coach he was
to have occupied. Acting on offi
cial advices from Brussels, Bevin
came on to England by air.
