arhurst, L. l., a letter from her broth
erin law. Louis. describing his expe-
riences at the time of the sinking
OF the Arabic and the drowning OF
his mother. Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere.
who was one Of the two Americans to
be lost with the ship. Mr.. Bruguiere
has remained in England in hopes OF
finding his mothers body. but has
finally given up and writes that he
will sail for New York on the Ameri-
can Line Philadelphia. September IL.
The part OF the letter describing
Nine. Bruguiere's loss follows:
There is so little to tell We were
the last to leave the ship, mother.
her maid. Margaret. and I. All the
boats had been lowered and gone, but
Just one. which was too difficult for
mother to jump into, so we waited
until the decks got nearer the water:
then we jumped together.
We both had life belts and l swan
with mother on my chest long dis
lance. The water was not cold and I
thought we would be saved together.
but when the steamer sank the water
that had been calm became rough
and full OF wood and debris. which
came sweeping about and separated
US. ! could do nothing hut try and
keep close to her The last time I
saw her I could only see her back.
because her head and legs were bent
down beneath the surface by two
pieces of wood. 1t was awful. I
can't understand how I was saved.
Poor mama. | hope she did not
suffer long. Margaret. mama's maid,
was drowned also. Altogether I am
heartbroken, as you may imagine. It
was 30 cold after getting into the life
boat. For six hours I was In my
ajamas before being picked up bv the
naval boat. Poor. poor mama. If you
could have seen her 1t was dread
full; no accident could be more dread
full"
