Mr and Mrs Anton Kink and their daughter Louise
The Kink family was aroused from sleep at the Hofer home early Wednesday by the Journal photographer and a reporter. Mr Kink, who is a native of Zurich, Switzerland, has lately been living in Austria. He was been a manager in a large store there, and expects shortly to find employment in Milwaukee. He sat in undershirt and trousers, his feet bare – telling of his experience.
The White Star Line’s tailor made an error in measuring him for the trousers, for they reached almost to his armpits, and had several [?] taken in at the bottom to adapt them to his form.
He speaks good German. His wife’s speech is marked by a decided Swiss accent.
Mr. Hofer has already made a playmate of the third member of the family, little Louise. Wednesday having been a holiday for him. During the interview he sat by smoking a short Swiss stogie that had survived the Titanic disaster, while Mrs Hofer was preparing breakfast for the hungry Kinks.
