We do not see why there should

the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself IN

At 1880 y. m that day the cooks and

About $3.50 y. IN. the Memphis began TO

about 30 degrees.
Two other boilers were connected with
the main engine, but the engine refused TO
respond Tons OF water came over the
side and poured down the matches eNtln-
gushing the fires. Dynamos were attached
to the blowers in the hope that the fires
could be famed into activity, but the at
tempt was n failure The whole ship was
now buried In darkness. and the men in
the enslneroom waded waist deep in brine.
Tho engineers and nremen searched for
lanterns but tho man In charge OF them
had locked them up. and had gone ashore
At this juncture Captain Beach yelled
down into the engine room:

Everything was now chaos on the ship,

were pinned under shifting matches and
