Praises Captain Finch.

queenstown, Aug. 21, 3:35 a. m.- Zellah Covington, of Los Angeles, the playwright, who was passenger on the Arabic, in describing last night the scenes aboard the steamer after the torpedo struck, highly praised the manner in which Captain Finch had prepared for a torpedo attack and the Shiilul way in which he naVigated his sHlp rom the moment re saw the proJectlle. MT. Covington and his "lle had just breakfasted when a steward told him that a vessel nearby i-du met With an accident.
 immediately afterwards he said,
 there Was an awful explosion and I lililhetHately guessed the cause. We soC liIe belts and walked to the boat oeck Where we jumped into a boat ana reached the water ra1ely.''
 No Panic Among Passengers.
 MT. Covington said one of the e.rlklng features of the exodus from 'iie snip was the coolness of the off, eers and crew and the absence of pahlc among the passengers. A faint il'odn was heard occasionally f. Jm solhe woman but nothing that could oe called a scream. The fact that the snip was running at a speed of about slNteen knots and that only two boats were capsized spoke voiumes, he said, TOT the captains orders to go astern. MI. CovingtOn asserted emphatically mat no warning was given before the torpedo was fired.
