SURVIVORS STORY.
Shot Suddenly From Submarine to Sur
face of the Sea.

Special Dispatch t. The Star.
Paris says: Quartermaster Lejean. one of
three men saved from the wrecked subma-
rine boat Farfardet. wires as follows from
BZerta of his experience:
ing. because the boat suddenly sank so
rapidly that l felt sure the machinery had
broken. The place where 1 was standing
was about three feet below the deck and
Suddenly l was deluged with water; in an
other instant l was half strangled. lost my
feet and felt my head humping against the
steel sides of a cistern-like aperture which
led to the exit.
Il cannot say 1 made any effort to
escape. l only knew l suddenly shot
through the iron cover out into the sea,
reaching the surface more dead than alive.
l think the cover of the submarine must
through, for l felt great pain in my right
foot. instinctively wrenching it from the
vise-like hold l believe it was caught in
closing the cover
The accident was due to simple causes
which might happen to any other subma-
rlne tomorrow. The cover had till then
been working perfectly, and in my opinion
the submarine began to sink before any
attempt was made to close the door In
stead of giving the order to stop the plunge
Immediately, the commandment tried to
wrench the cover into place and in an
other instant all was over"
