Week May Elapse Before
u. S. Can Form Opinion on
Marina and Rowanmore

Washington, d. c.. Nov. IA week
or more may elapse before the United
states government can form an official
opinion on the sinking of the British
steamers Marina and Rowanmore by
German submarines, it became evidsnt
to-dey. The American embassy at
Berlin has been instructed to obtain
formally and with all haste possible
the German version of the attacks.
The submarines could not return to
their bases for several days, however,
and transmission of the commanders
reports would require some time
Until these are available it was not
believed the Washington government
would take any drastic action.
Officials took cognizance of news
dispatches asserting the Marina had
been torpedoed without warming and
several Americans were missing, but
they continued to believe full investi-
cation might show the vessel had lost
her immunity as merchantmen by
trying to escape or to ram the sub
merslble. They also made plain that
affidavits of American survivors must
be awaited before an official opinion is
framed.
The only important point to be de-
termined in regar dto the Rowanmore
was whether the submarine fired on
boats carrying the crew from the aban-
doned ship, as was reported by sailors.

out warning; that the first torpedo
struck on the starboard side and the
second hit the vessel twelve minutes
later and was followed by a boiler ex-
plosion, the steamer sinking six min
utes afterward. No Americans were
killed by the boiler explosion. Those
who lost their lives were drowned as
the lifeboats were launched.
According to this information, a
submarine which emerged after the
second torpedo was fired, was seen
plainly by Americans on the Marina.
but did not communicate with the
steamship or offer assistance to the
small boats which were in deadly
peril from the rough sea.
One lifeboat was in the water II
hours. a second 81 hours and a third
81 hours. In this time the danger in
creased as the sea became rougher.
The submarine did not shell the
Marina.
The names of George Sedbury and
House have not been given before as
among the Americans who lost their
lives. Last nights reports from Lon
don said six Americans had been
drowned: two men named Brown, two
named Thomas, one named Middle
ton and one Robertson.

AMAZING COME BACK
OF ROBERT ROWAN
Almost Too Weak To Walk Eight
Days Ago Yet Now Shovels
Half Ton of Coal
Without Tiring

One of the most amazing recovs
cries ever known in Harrisburg is
that of Robert Rowan, who lives at
344 Main ST., Steelton, Pa. Eight
days ago he was so weak and run
down that he, could scarcely walk and
yet to-day he can shovel half a. ton
of coal and look, on it as all in the
days work
He says: "a week or so ago, eight
days to be exact, / was about as poor
a specimen of humanity as you could
find in days walk. I was all run
down and SO weak that I could
scarcely get on or off a street car
and it was all I could do to walk on
the street unaided.
The slightest eXertion tired me
out completely and if 1 walked q
block [ was so done out that I was
ready to drop. 1 could not eat for my
stomach was so weak that it could not
digest my food and my sleep did not
rest me bit.
IT have been getting weaker and
weaker for a long time and though
L had tried many medicines none of
them seemed to have the right punch
and they did not get to the seat of
my trouble.
II was barely able to be up and
around when I read about Tanlac in
the newspapers and the people who
had taken this wonderful medicine
were so enthusiastic about it that L
dragged myself down to Gorgas' Drug
Store and got bottle. l never imag-
ined anything could act so quickly. L
felt my strength returning with every
dose and you can imagine how 1t
helped me when l say that Just eight
days after 1 took tho first dose L
shovelled a half ton of coal and
was as fresh when 1 got through as
when 1 began.
This may sound like a fairy tale
but 1t is true as gospel for I feel
fine, My appetite is good and I am
ready for big days work every day.
Tanlac, the famous reconstrnctive
tonic is now being specially introduced
here at Gorgas' Drug Store where the
Tanlac man is daily meeting the peo-
pie and explaining to them the bene-
fits to be derived from the use of this
master medicine.

Rowanmore Tried to
Escape, but Was Shelled
After She Came to Stop

London. Oct. 81. - The British
steamer Rowanmore. from Baltimore
for Liverpool, sunk last week by a sub
marine. attempted to escape from the
attacking undersea boat, but the latter
continued to shell the ship after she
stopped. according to affidavits from
mem bers of the crew procured by the
American consul at Liverpool The
principal details of the sinking ex-
tracted from number of the affidavits
are as follows:
"On October 26, at S.45 a. M, the
steamer was 130 miles from Fastnet
when shells began to burst about her.
moment later the lookout saw the
submarines helm put hard aport,
bringing the attacking craft directly
astern. Early in the chase two shells
struck the bridge.
THE pursuit continued until $50
o'clock, five or six shells in the mean
time striking the steamer. The cap
tain of the Rowanmore stopped his
engines and hoisted signals that he
intended to abandon the ship, but the
submarine continued to shell her as
the boats were being lowered, and
when they were in the water the occu-
pants were drenched by spray from
falling shells.
THE submarine then headed for the
lifeboats, while one of its officers
shouted Get out of our way or we'll
run you DOWN, Dut SWerved when near
the boats. passed them and then
turned back. the commander calling
cut:
81 am sorry for you, but you are
very foolish. You will probably all
drown
Take Captain Aboard
The captain of the Rowanmore was
ordered on board the submarine, but
declined to obey, although the COM
mand was thrice given, until a re-
volver was pointed at his head. After
the captain was taken on board the
submarine fired torpedo at the Row
anmore, which sank. About three
hours later the crew was picked up.
Two white Americans were on
board. They were George Murphy, of
Brooklyn. and Albert Sessler. of Bos-
ton. Five F'ilipinos on board gave
Liverpool addresses.
The affidavits of Murphy and Sess-
Ter agree in stating that they saw no
shells fired at the lifeboats after they
were clear of the ship. The attack
occurred at a time when the sea was
very rough. In the documentary evil
dence the belief finds expression that
the shelling of the ship after she had
stopped was due to resentment at the
failure to abandon her."

light met the guests at the door, di-
recting them to the rear where ghosts
were awaiting. In the primary de-
partment room they were entertained
with music by Burton f. Commings
and when all had assembled the party
was led through darkness and sounds
of ghostly music through devious
ways to the hall where the words
Our Glass" shone brilliantly out of
the shadows until the lights were
turned on.
A. Floyd Whalen read a clever
story interspersed with musical
sketches by Mr.. Commings, the guests
guessing the songs. Ghosts marched
then gave the funniest exhibition of
fancy dancing. Miss Shaeffer recited
in delightful manner and Mr.. Whalen
told n story to soft music. j. Henry
Spicer contributed a ghost story to
the program, and there was Can

Centralians Make Merry
at Halloween Masque

Perhaps the merriest of all parties
held this Halloween season was that
of the Centralians last evening. at the
home of Vernon Wright, 624 Muench
street. When the guests arrived they
were confronted by a ghostly skeleton
staring at them through the darkness.
Silently they were ushered into a dark
room and seated on the floor. A
guessing contest was held as to who
was who. Some ofzthe costumes
exceptionally fine. The absence of
chairs proved novelty. After
everyone unmasked games were play
ed and prizes awarded to winners.
Ben Whitman, the honorary member
of the Centralians, told some terrify-
ing ghost stories, assisted by a weird
flame which issued from a bowl in the
center of the room of darkness.
"Bill'' Kay. knight of the side-door
Pullman, had Just returned from a
tramp around the world, and brought
with him some wonderful charms.
All were anxious to receive the bene-
fit of these, and to the terror of the
recipients were stationed in back of
a large sheet. they were compelled
to handle a charm which would bring
to them the respect of ala Shiny
eel! Many other charms were equally
as interesting, one being a human
hand. The student of mystic treas
ures, as introduced by Mr.. Whitman,
proved to be only "nature-fakir."
An old-fashioned Halloween re-
freshments were served. The Juniors

night with the other members of the
crew OF the Marina after that steamer
mad been sunk by a submarine are to-
day under the care of the American
consul.
Il saw two submarines" said Rob-
ert Preston, one of the crew, while
was getting into the boat of Mr.. Smith
cine only surviving otficer). The sec
ond explosion came after we were
clear of the ship. The first tore a large
hole III the side and caused her to list.
Il saw three of the crew running
up the stern as the vessel gave it's last
tumble. Captain Browne was the cool
est man on board. During the launch
ing of the boats he saw that every
man visible was in the boat. then
Jumped for a boat himself. but missed
IT in the rough sea and was drowned
before our eyes"
Questioned further in regard to the
presence OF two submarines, Preston
said: There were two plainly visible
from the bridge. The first one at
tackled us on the starboard, while the
other lay off some distance to port
doing observation duty"
The ship was struck squarely in
the bunkers,' said Robert Hay a men,
ber of the engineroom staff. THE
bunkers fell in and the engines were
dlsmantled. Two men were killed in
the stokehole and several others were
scalded.
Three boats got away; a fourth was
smashed. Orders were given to see
that all Americans among passengers
or crew were saved. The wireless
station tried to summon aid. but his
gear was dismantled by the first tor
pedo.
f. f. Smith, the only one of the
Marlna's officers now alive, said:
The explosion of the first torpedo
threw me from settee. l rushed up
10 where the boats already were being
launched. We got twenty-six men
into my boat; there were seven in the
second boat.
When we pulled away saw Second
Mate Robinson crushed to death be-
tween his boat and the listing ship.
We saw several bodies in the water.
After leaving the ship we had a ter
rible experience. The sea was rough
and the weather extremely bitter,
Every man, although we'll nigh perish
ing with cold, shock and exhaustion,
took turns at the oars until $40
o'clock the next morning, when we
were picked up"
The injured American survivors OF
the steamer Marina, Edgar Miller and
Jack Davis, are in the Scholl Hospital
here. Both are suffering principally
from shock,
