Mahin 1879. New York Times 1.8.1916 The Hague, July 31.- Frank W. Mahin. The American Consul at Amsterdam, and his wife Mrs Abbie Mahin were the only American passengers on board the Koningin Wilelmina (K.W. thereafter). Both were saved. This information was given to The Associated Press by the Zeeland Steamship Company. The Zeeland Company also is authority for the information that all the passengers and crew were saved except the three stokers who were killed. All the passengers are on board a British torpedo boat destroyer, which is proceeding to England. None of the passengers was injured. The first passengers to enter lifeboats were rowed to the North Hinder Lightship. On arriving there it was seen that the K.W. remained afloat, seemingly justifying the hope that the thousands of empty barrels would keep her buoyant. The lifeboat, accordingly, returned to the ship. The K.W., however, began to sink by the head and soon disappeared. The lifeboats with the passengers then returned to the North Hinder Lightship, where they were picked up by a British destroyer, two tugs with doctors, who were on hand to rescue the survivors. This is the third mail steamer the company has lost since the war started. History of the D.A.R. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890, women felt the desire to express their patriotic feelings and were frustrated their exclusion from men`s organisations formed to perpetuate the memory of ancestors who fought for independence and it was limited to ladies who "could prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence."
