one of the most interesting. He saws
he has been on three ships sunk by
the Germans, was a passenger on an
other which barely escaped two sub
marines, and his home in Hartlepool,
Eng, was shelled by a German fleet
early in the war, and Zeppelin bomb
fell comparatively short distance
from his residence in a recent air
raid.
Cow was chief engineer on the Brit
ish steamship Colby which was des-
troyed by the German converted cruis-
er Kronprinz Wilhelm on March q,
1915 and was landed at Newport News
He was passenger on the British
steamer Cassandra, which escaped
from submarine while carrying the
Wilhelm's refugees back to England.
Later he was made chief engineer of
the British steamer Gadsby. On a
trip with horses from Canada the
Gadsby was torpedoed in the English
channel and the crew was picked up
and landed at Londonderry, Ireland.
Then came his latest experience, when
on January IS, of this year, when the
on which he was again
chief engineer, was sent to the bottom
by the raider that got the Appam.
