FIGHT DUEL IN WATER
Belgian Ship Captain Challenges Ger
man to Battle With Knives

Since the opening Of hostilities Bel
gian and German steamers have an
chored side by side in the port of Va
lentia.
A Belgian captain received letter
from his brother, a soldier in the Bel
gian army, saying that German sol
diers entering their village had COM
r2itted abominable acts and that the
captains wife and two daughters were
among the victims. The captains an
ger was aroused and was increased
by jeers and challenges from Ger
man crew. Unable to take on the
whole crew, the Belgian captain chai-
lenged a German sailor who was the
ringleader and the challenge was &C
cepted
TIL German jumped into the sea
with a knife between his teeth, The
Belgian jumped into the water dag
ger in his hand, and the struggle had
begun to be terrible when a harbor
pilol in a boat reached the men and
succeeded in separating them. Both
were wounded and the pilot compelled
them to return to their ships, both
shouting menaces.
An enormous crowd watched the
duel from the quay. The port authori-
ties have separated the ships to pre-
vent a recurrence Of the trouble.
