SUNK English FISHING BOATS
RUSSIANS BALTIC FLEET GETS
BUSY IN NORTH SEA.
They Used SearehIights and Then
Open Fire-SeVerai Boats Sunk and
Crews Drowned-Some of DAMAGED
Boats and Injured Members of Crew
Reach Hull.

Hull, England, Oct. 24.-I. M. Jack
son & Co., solicitors for the owners
of SO Hull fishing boats, have notified
the foreign office and admiralty of an
attack on the Hull fishing feet by the
Russian Second squadron, commonly
designated as the Baltic squadron,
commanded by Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky. The official information is
that shortly after midnight Friday the
Russian squadron fell in with the
Hull fishing feet in the North sea.
The first portion of the fishing fleet
passed safely. Then the Russian
ships turned their searchlights on the
little later opened fire. The steam
trawler Crane was sunk, and the de-
capitated bodies of her skipper and
third hand have been brought to
Hull. The boatswain and other mem
bers of the crew, who are understood
to be seriously wounded, are on board
the mission ship. The only slightly
wounded member of the crew has ar
rived at Hull.
The steam trawlers Moulmein and
Mino have arrived at Hull, seriously
damaged by shots, the latter having 16
holes in the hull. 1t is feared that
other damage was done to trawlers,
and that at least one more was lost,
with all hands.
5ombarded by Nearly All Warships.
According to other reports, the af-
fair occurred 200 miles off Spurnhead.
The Russian ships were steaming in
line. The leading ships of the fishing
feet passed without incident, though
most of the Russian vessels turned
searchlights on the trawlers long
enough to prevent any mistake as to
identity After the bulk of the squad
ron had passed. it opened fire, nearly
all participating in the firing. The
Crane was struck below the water
line and raked above deck. Skipper
Smith and Third Hand Leggott had
their heads carried away by a shot,
many of the crew being seriously
wounded. Another trawler also was
sunk, but the Moulmein, which
brought the news to Hull, has no par
ticulars as to her fate.
The news has created an intense
sensation and indignation in Hull. The
Moulmein arrived with her flag at
half mast.

Disturbed Peace of the Seadogs.

Disturbed Peace of the Seadogs.
81 do not know why it is, husband
but our Hazel, young as she is, is wor-
rying a great deal. That girl Sankala,
disturbs her peace of mind. She does
not like her. The poor girl is kind to
our Hazel and all of that but our child
seems to have most natural antipathy
for her.
"Sankala is the most popular girl at
school. The teachers love her, the
girls run after her and the boys wor-
ship her. They look upon her as some
superior being and yet she is only a
poor little waif that you remember was
cast ashore here many years ago.
cold Ringwold, her father, is drink
ing more and more whenever he can
get it, and the child, poor thing, much
as as she disturbes our Hazel, seems
more devoted to the old man every
day.
1T would be better for her il he
should die, but then it would almost
kill her, for the poor thing worshipi
the old fellow. But it would be baC
for the village il Ringwold should die
There would be no one to fill the diff
cult prescriptions at the drug store anc

"Do you know, husband" spoke the
woman more cautiously, 81 do not like
that girl Sankala. She is all kindness
and desel wing, but I do not like tn,

They are sailing under false
plumes, Sankala, they are sailing un-
der false plumes. They are wearing
that which of right belongs to others.
"Sankala, have always passed as
your father. love you better than q
father ever loved his child. The idea
prevails among the fisherman that only
your mother was drowned and that l
your aged father, who had taken a
young wife at the age of three score and
ten had clutched you in my arms at
the last moment and that fate had cast
us ashore.
"We were cast ashore together, it is
true, you a tive-weeks old babe in my
arms, but your mother and father both
went down to watery grave"
but you are my father now" broke
in Sankala. 81 love you as my father
and shall always love you as such
"That is true, my child, that is true,
but your real father is dead. 1t is this
that places heavy responsibility upon
you and me. Your father was much
wronged and it is left to you and me
to right the wrong. Should | continue
to live, Sankala, | will right the
wrong, but should die the duty falls
upon you. You are young, / know,
but you already possess a woman's in
telligence and with the data before you,
you will be able to complete the plans
which | have inaugurated, should the
worst come. l am failing rapidly,

"But you will live, father, you will
live, J." sobbed the girl.

the fishing village. 1t will do more
Sankala, it will enable you to travel
and to see the great world.
81 shall never forget your mothers
dying request. 1t was on that fearful
night just fifteen years ago when the
old ship made such gallant fight on
the bar and finally went aground on
Sand Island.
"Your father was assisting the sail
ors and had been swept from the deck.
You were born aboard the ship after
we had left the old country. The
ships surgeon had given a certificate
of your birth. Your mother knew how
important that certificate was, San
kala, and when all were lost but the
captain and you and she came to me
and threw you into my arms. She had
imbedded the certificate of your birth
in wax and thrust this deep into the
inside pocket of my vest. She said,
calling me by my right name:

live and rescue the child. l will be
lost. Upon the very eve of reaching
the place we so long sought, my poor
husband went down in sight of his own
wealth. | must surely follow. Take
her, my dear friend, take the child and
see that she gets what belongs to her.
In the name of Him who will reward
you, beg you to be brave and do that
for which you are now intended
'In a few minutes all was lost.
God spared me the sight of seeing your
mother go. | dashed myself to a spar,
clutched you in my arms with the grip
of death and became unconscious, as
the sea cut the remaining timbers
from the vessel.

British People
Don't Want War

London, Oct. 25. - The London
Times says:
THE British people do not want
war with Russia over the outrage oom.
mitted by the czars mad dog fleet on
the Northern sea trawlers, and conf.
IDENTIFY expect that the st. Petersburg
government will promptly make ample
apology and reparation. AT the same
time, if the commander in charge Of
one of the British fleets, patterninp
after Rojestvensky, should have an
attack of temporary insanity and sink
a dozen or fifteen of the vessels OF the
Baltic fleet, his countrymen would hail
him England's greatest naval hero, and
in the course of time might erects
monument to him that would make
Nelson's column look like hitching
post"
This is no exaggerated statement Of
the feeling here. Everybody seems to
think that an apology and money viii
not be enough to pay for the blunden.
There is a distinct craving for the
infection of punishment upon the
guilty fleet. Some Britishers actually
sigh when they think that there is
practical way of securing this result.

WAS DANIEL a HOUSE BURNER
WhyxSumter County. Negro Hung in
Terrell

A coroner's jury examined the body
of Green Daniel, the Sumter county
negro lynched in Terrell, near the Lee
county line day or two ago, and the
suggestive verdict was that "death re-
suited from his heart stopping too
quick" AS stated in yesterdays
Times Recorder, the body of Daniel
was found hanging from a tree and
riddled with bullets, cause sufficient
to stop the beating of the heart, even
''too quickly" Green Daniel a was
middle aged negro who resided on the
plantation of James King in Lee
county. Several barns have been
burned in that part of the county with
in the past few months, and 1t is said
that the finger of guilt pointed. strongly
at the negro whose body was found
hanging from the tree as the culprit
who was responsible for these fires.
