Steer Oil Tanker After
Crash in Bay.
FREIGHTER'S SMASH
STILLS ENGINES
John d. Archbold, with 3,00o,-
600 Gallons of Oil. Rescued
by Torpedo Boat.

Raging seas and sixty fourmile
gale proved too much for tug that
was struggling with the tank steamer
John d. Archbold, Off Tompkinsville.
Staten Island, yesterday afternoon. and
the heavy steamer was swept brosdside
into the British freighter Hova.
The weight Of the Archbold, which
was carrying its full capacity of S,OOo,-
GOO gallons Of oil 70 Calcutta, caused
q terrific impact. and the steel plates on
the side that struck Immediately
opened. The prov of the Hova, which
was at anchor of Tompknsville, was
crushed in. and the few Of its crew
who were or board feared that II would
sink
To add 70 the seriousness Of the sit
uation on the Archbold, the inrushing
water extinguished the fires in the en-
rines. and j. soon was without power.
The pumps still available made little
headway against the water that was
rushing into the hold. and the 100
members of the crew prepared to lower
the lifeboats. The waves were so high
that this idea soon WIGS abandoned. .
II is possible that the presence OF
Mrs. William Davidson, wife OF the
captain Of the tanker, accomplished as
much in preventing q panic and the
abandonment Of the big steamer as the
courage of the men. She appeared on
deck in the midst Of the excitement
and without the slightest evidence OF
fear watched her husband as he d.
rccted the operations that eventually
saved it.
Captain Davidson, finding the boat

First Eyewitness Ac-

London. July 3.-The first account Of
the Allied offensive by one who took
part in it was given tonight by
wounded soldier who reached London.
Everything possible seemed TO have
been thought of beforehand he de-
clared, "and for weeks We have had
rehearsals OF every movement. We
were all ready for the charge by s
o'clock, but the artillery, which had
been pounding all night, continued the
argument for an hour. Then the bonn
bardment slackened, and our pulses
auickened as we realized our moment
was at hand.
The preliminary signal went down
the line, and a few moments later
cine the command TO go forward. Our
fellows hoped over the parapets and
tore across the uneven ground to where
the first lines Of the German trenches
used to be. As matter Of fact, those
trenches had ceased 20 exist. They

I'VE did not literally charge the
enemy's advanced trenches. There was
nothing 10 charge. What We did
charge, however, and charge quickly,
were our own shell holes behind the
German trenches They were huge
holes where our shells had dropped
during the week. and in these holes
the Germans awaited US with machine
guns. As we approached they turned
the guns on US.
Some of our fellows carried bombs
and hurled them into the holes as soon
as they got within reasonable range.
But we did not finish them all in that
way. There did not happen TO be

gun sang out from a shell hole, so our
lads. instead Of waiting for some one

Often. with whoop on their lips, they

lasted A dozen or perhaps score
of men would converge on hole and
