SHORT CIRCUIT ON BRIDGE

"A stitch in time saves nine" is an
old saying and a true one. The New
Castle and Southern Railway Com
pany is said TO have failed to take
heed Of the advice in this adage and
therefore has been forced along with
the public to suffer the consequences.
BY the burning out of the main cable

noon yesterday until 9 o'clock last
evening According to Bridgetendef
Murphy, the accident was caused by
the failure Of the electrical depart

warning given them by him. For
over a week, Mr.. Murphy says. a
switch box which was worn had been
smoking. AS soon as he discovered

GERMANY WOULD BE

F. ]. Caffyn, Survivor of
Leelanaw, Tells of She'll

SAYS FOUR OF KAISERS'
SUBMERSIBLES SUNK

F. ]. Caffyn, of New York. first as
sistant engineer of the American
steamer Leelanaw, which was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine off the Orkney Islands, to the
north of Scotland, on July 25, who
is now visiting in Wilmington de-
clares that the Leelanaw was in
reality a blockade runner.
An offer for Captain Eugene Delk,
of the Leelanaw, to throw overheard
that part of the cargo which was
contrahand and to proceed with the
ship was made by the commander Of
the German submarine, Engineer
Caffyn declares. The commander Of
the submarine finally gave the order
to sink the vessel only after 1t had
been found impossible to throw over
board the contraband cargo, and
then only after a careful search OF
the papers of the ship.
The Leelanaw was also originally
engaged in the transportation of con-
traband of war to a belligerent ma
tion through a dummy agent in a neu-
tral nation, according to the story
told last night by Mr.. Caffyn, who
declared that the original cargo OF
cotton with which the Leelanaw
sailed from New York was intended
for a German destination and not for
the swedish port as stated in the
, ships papers.
Caffyn says that while the Lee
lanaw's crew was at Kirkwal. three
German submarines were sunk on
that port by English patrol boats and
cruisers. Two of the attacking under
sea boats were sunk after their peri
| scopes and coming towers were shot
away. but the third one was disabled
and was captured in sinking con-

crew.
