Providence, R. I., Sept 2 (AP)—Under full speed ahead and with orders to reduce running time, the steamer Canada of the Fabre line, loaded with tents and other relief supplies, left here this afternoon for the stricken city of Horta, Azores, where an earthquake brought death and destruction on Tuesday. The Canada was two hours late in sailing from New York yesterday in order to take on hundreds of tents and other supplies. More than 200 passengers sailed from New York and here, the most of whom will stop at the Azores. At the last minute three passengers filled up empty spaces in their baggage with clothing, shoes and canned goods for their distressed relatives and friends.
