BOATS CRUSHED AS
HAWKE KEELS OVER
Crew Had No Chance to Be
Saved, as Cruiser Sunk in
Eight Minutes.

LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch TO
the Daily Chronicle from Aberdeen
quotes survivor from the cruiser
Hawke, sunk yesterday by German
submarine, as follows:
Within eight minutes the Hawke
had gone under. Had the ship gone
down forward or aft there would
have been some chance to get the
heats out clear of the cruiser, but
she keeled over on her beam ends,
and SO all of the boats we lowered
We're of no avail. Those on the STAR
board were useless and those on the
portside were crushed as soon as
they touched the water.
Il was proud to be among such
comrades. Everything was abso-
lutely in perfect order when the
ship was struck. A fearful explo-
sion followed and CRIME and dust
were everywhere. / was amidships
at the time and could hardly see to
grope my way to the side. / heard
orders given to lower the boats and
then some one shouted: Look after
yourselvesl' / did that Most of the
men on board were married men. We
saw hundreds in the water, but We
were afraid to pick them up, as our
boat was already overcrowded so we
threw our lifehelts to them. 1t was
all we could do The weather was
bitterly cold and ! do not think that
many, apart from those who were
landed at Aberdeen, were saved"
A stoker tells this story:
when the explosion occurred I,
clong with others who were in the
engine room, was sent flying into
space and was stunned for a time.
When ] came to my sences | found
myself in the midst of what must be
described as an absolute inferno. One
of the cylinders of the engine had
been wrecked and the steam was
passing out in dense, scalding clouds.
The horror OF the situation was in
creased when the tank of oil fuel
caught fire and the flames advanced
with frightful rapidity. Seeing that
there was not the ghost of a chance
of doing any good by remaining in
what was obviously a death trap,
determined to make dash for it. |
scrambled up the iron ladder to the
main deck.
All this had happened in less time
than Ii takes to tell, but such is Brit
ish pluck and GOODNESS and nerve,
oven in such situation, that the
commanders and officers were on the
bridge and as calmly as If we were
on feet maneuyers orders were given
and as calmly obeyed. The buglers
sounded q CALL which summoned
every man to his post. During the
first minute or two many believed
that all that was wrong was boiler
explosion, but the rapidity with
which the cruiser was taking water
on the starboard side quickly dis
abused all minds of this belief. Real
ferfs he al ali t4At1 L.
mander gave orders to close all the
watertight doors. Soon after that
came orders to abandon ship and to
lower the boats"

The teachers convention at Albu-
querque has been the great thing,
much enjoyed by the teachers, and
what they learned there will be OF
great value. The question Of teach
ing the Spanish speaking children has
become an important thing in New
Mexico. The enabling act provides
for the establishment Of public
schools and requires they be conduct
ed in the English language. DR.. Rob
erts, Of the normal at Las Vegas has
made = study Of the question OF teach
ing children, who we're born In one
language In another language. This
question comes up In many places In
the world, and IL has been found that
II the teaching Of a child another
language begins too early they do not
do we'll with either language, while II
they are taught for = time In their
native language they learn the foreign
language much easier, and they &C
complish much more. He advises
teaching in The Spanish language to
the native children through the third
grade, and then commence teaching
them English. OF course In New
Mexico 1t is as important to teach
the children who were born to En-
glish speaking parents the Spanish
language az 1t is TO teach the Spanish
children English, butl Of course you
