tails of the rescue OF the captain and

story to the station of the United

we needed them. He was headed for
Charleston and expected to reach there
safely without aid.
Il started calling, and shortly after
ward Chief Engineer Grand came up
and asked if / had heard anyone, as
the water was slowly creeping up on

nal The Alamo was about 80 miles
away. t.t
II gave him my position as nearly
as Captain Moore could reckon 1t. The
Alamo started toward us. Meanwhile
Captain Moore kept watching for the
sun to get time sight to give them
our correct position. The electrician.
Robert lacey, came up about $40 and
said the water was up to the wheels
of the dynamo, which could not hold
its power much longer.
After some time we decided the only
way to do was to put all hands to work
to keep the dynamo running, regard
less of anything else, as the ship was
settling fast. Mr.. Lacy wrapped the
whole thing. dynamo and the turbine
engine, in canvas, which gave her
eight inches before it would burn the
armature out. We kept in constant
communication with the Alamo after
she gave us her position and trrnec
in the direction we judged she was. we
made about two miles toward her.
