MIR. RADEL HOME
On the High Seas Bound For Europe When War Was
 Declared.

Andrew Radel. president and treas urer of the RadeI Oyster Go, who with Charles P1atts Of the same con- cern. went to Europe the week that was was declared, reached his office in this city today.
 The passengers on tAe ship on which the two Bridgeporters sailed to Eu- rope did not know of the war until they entered Liverpool. They sur missed, however, what had happened as two British warships met them some 800 miles out from Liverpool and escorted them to their destination. After this escort had joined them, the voyage was continued with lights dinmed. No whistles were blown even when passing through dense fogs. These precautions caused great ex- citements among the passengers who knew nothing definite Of what was happening.
 Tn England, said MT. Radel, the ex- citement was greater among the for eigners who had focced there from the natives themselves No accom- modations were to be had. and prices of food and of other things began to soar.
 MT. Rade1 had booked to return on the Olympic, but as that vessel stop ped sailing, he came home by way of Montreal The return voyage, he said. was a very pleasant one, and while lights were dimmed and canvas GOV cred every port hole at night, and each passing vessel was watched with suspicion, proved to be a most un- eventfu1 trip.
