OPERATED ON AT SEA
AN AMERICAN BANKER NEW YORK, May 28. (Received May 28, at 8.30 p.m.) Friends of Mr George F. Baker, i a noted banker, said his life was saved when his yacht Viking hailed the Niagara, and the liner's physician performed a peritonitis operation The patient's condition is satisfactory. A turn for th» worse later occurred and a coastguard cutter at Honolulu was ordered to rush medical supplies to the Viking, which afterwards also asked for blood donors, indicating that transfusions were necessary, but the cutter had already left. A naval aeroplane was therefore crdered to carry serum to the Viking, to be used instead.
