SINKING OF TUBANTTA
Richard Schilling Says EXplo-

Side of Liner

AMSTERDAM. March 17.--"When the
Tubantia was sunk she was travelling
through fog at a slow rate of speed said
Richard Schilling, one of the survivors,
who arrived here today on special train
from Maasluis.
at waG after midnight and all the pas.
sengers were asleep ! was aroused by
loud crash and then there was a rush of
water, as though the vessel had been en-
quilted by tidal wave. Water spouted
high into the air and fell upon the vessel,
drenching 1t from stem to stern.
although the ship tossed, she continued
on her course for some minutes before she
actually came to a stop. Frightened pas
sengers, most of them in their night cloth
ing, crowded to the deck
"The explosion had torn big hole in the
liners sinde and her hold began to fill, but
the captain said that we had time to dress
and the officers advised all to do so.
THE sailors at once began lowering the
boats, but the ship was heeling over so
sharply that this work was found very
difficult. Some of the passengers thought
they could see flashes of a searchlight,
which may have been CLEANS of North
Hinder Light. but do not believe this was
the case, for 1t was too murky to see far.
"A cold wet wind was blowing, and some
of the men took off their overcoats and
wrapped them around the women and
citement. but it did not rise to the point
of panic and the work of getting off the
passengers was carried out in an orderly
manner.
"One of the lifeboats was caught by
wave and dashed against the side of the
ship, but whether 1t was smashed or not
do not know I heard that some of the
passengers were droWned, but / did not
see any actual drowhings myself.
"All the time the passengers were being
placed in the boats and the boats were
being lowered the wireless operator con-
tinued pounding out the IS. o. s." call and
giving the location of the ship.
"Officers of the ship believe that she
was attacked by submarine, but she may
have struck a mine. II is said that the
German submarine fleet has been putting
mines in the North Sea off the Belgian
coast for some time as a further protec-
tion for their new naval base at Zee
brugge. Some of these mines may have
drifted loose"
Dispatches assert Shilling is an Amer
lean employed in the United States con-
sular service. He, his wife and daughter
were reported as being the only three
Americans on board.

Cumference OF a penny. The fare box

listers them accordingly. as dimes. nickels
or pennies.
The conductor then waits for a pas
senger who will give him a quarter to
change In making the change he hands
out two dimes and the filed-down nickel
The passenger drops the nickel In the fare
box. The mechanism Of the box indicated
that one penny has been dropped in. The
conductor then winds out the coins and
repeats the trick.
After five times the box has recorded
five pennies or one fare for the company
and the conductor has gained four cents
five times, or a total of 20 cents. The
plan can be worked indefinitely, and with
little fear OF detection for there is COM
paratively little difference between the
diameter of a penny and the diameter Of
a nickel when both are new.
When the company first learned OF the
trick, inspectors, or "spotters." as they
are known by the conductors, were as
signed TO all lines. In the course Of sew
eral months they managed to collect more
than half a hundred OF the filed-down
nickles. A number OF the conductors were
dismissed. but the system was too well es-
tablished, and according 10 the employees
at the car barns, the company decided that
the only way to prevent the conductors
from working the scheme was to revert TO
the old system Of ringing up the fares.
