shots from one 0t her deck guns. She appeared not to be trying to hit the Stephano but the third shot was so close it gave us a jar. We were in the small boats about 15 minutes be- fore being picked up. We didn't hear or see a torpedo. An English cruiser appeared off shore while we were aboard the Ericsson. She was top far out to make out her name, but the officers told us that there was no question but that she was an English cruiser"
 E.. A. Tough, of Ontario, another passenger, said that the. Stephano's s boats were barely 100 yards from the steamer when the first shot was fired at her by the submarine.
 After the crews left the Bloomer- adijk and the Knudsen, the comman- der of one of the German submarines, plainly seen in the moonlight, request ed the commanders of the destroyers Benham and McDougal. Please to give them room to blow the ships" according to officers of the Benham. This submarine fired 6 shots along the waterline of the Bloomersdijk but failing to sink her, discharged tor pedo and the ship buckled amidships and bow and stern triangled into the sea.
 A member of the destroyer Balch's crew insisted that he saw a German supply ship attending the submarines.
 Thirty-six men from the Bloom- ersdijk were on board the destroyer Drayton, as were also the captain and of fIa nf hn These refugees were taken to the na- val training station, where arrange ments had been made to receive them. -N
 Commander Rufus z. Johnston. of the station, himself directed the work of caring for the needs of the ship wrecked ones, assisted by women prominent in Newport's social life.
 The hospital corps from the naval station was lined up on the dock as the destroyers discharged their pas sengers, but found nothing to do.
 The youngest of the shipwrecked crews was a baby two Smonths old which was a passenger with its moth- CT on the Stephano.
 When Captain Bagley, of the Dray- ton, went to the flagship Birmington, of the American destroyer flotilla to report to Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves he was, accompanied by the captain and three officers of the, West Point. Fred Harnden of the freight CT, declined to make any statement. saying simply:
 "I cannot talk until I have reported to my home office"
 One member of the West Point s crew said there were 3S seamen aboard the ship who lost their all.
 Captain M. Grotness. of the Chr Knudsen, who was aboard the Dray- ton, could speak but little English and was reticent as to his exper- fences.
 The destroyers so far as possible placed small black marking buoys over the spots where the ill-fated merchant men were last seen afloat.
 Stories told by such members of the various crews of the sunken steamers as could be reached, differ ed widely Some declared that they had seen as many as five submar- ines.
 From the stories there appeared lit- tie doubt that there were at least two submarines in action.
 The cabin boy of the Bloomersdijk. a bright lad of about IA years, came in on the destroyer Benham. He was the least disturbed of any on the Benham for, he explained, this was the third time that he had had the of being aboard @ torpe- doed ship.

Death Record of . Monster Wave.
 The greatest waves-apart from the true earthquake wave-are those caus- cd by tornadoes or circular storms. In such . storm the barometer may be lower by three inches in the center of the storm than at it's edge.
 The consequence of this tremendous reduction of pressure is that the sea in the vortex rises high above the usual level and in this way are produced waves of appalling size and height
 It. was a wave of this type which. in the dreadful tornado of 1876, swept upon the mouth }of the Ganges and drove in over an area the size of Dev- 0nshire. By marks upon the trees it was ascertaiDed that this great wall of salt water rolled in forty-fiv feet high. The damage done was appalling. and more than 100000 unfortunate na- lives were drowned.-London Times
