SIX SHIPS SINK UNDER
SAILOR s; STICKS TO SEA
Twenty.year.oId Cook Was Tor
pedoed, Mined, Made Prisoner,
Hit by Bullets.

New York.-Stewast Springer was
eighteen years old when he sailed from
here on Aug. 9, 1914. He has returned
an old man, broken in health and with
battered nerves. Few lads Of twenty
and few grizzled veterans Of the sea-
for that matter-can boast or bewail
the experiences through which he has
passed since his last visit.
Springer Is cook of the British freight
err Pearlmoor, now locked at Montague
street. Brooklyn. Back in Cardiff,
Wales, he has a wife.
The ship on which he last left New
York was captured and sunk by the
Karlsruhe. After forty-eight days
aboard the raider he was landed with
other prisoners at Teneriffe. His next
adventure came on May /, 1915. He
was aboard French bark bound for
England when, of the Scilly isles, he
witnessed the sinking Of the American
tanker Gul1ight by a submarine.
On July %. following, he was men,
Der Of the crew of the British freighter
Aidenwing. which struck mine in the
Bay Of Biscay and went down. The
next month he was on a French
freighter, again In the Bay Of Biscay
when she was torpedoed.
Shortly before Christmas, 1915
Springer had shipped on the Norwe'
gian freighter Frankstream. She was
torpedoed In the English channel A
few weeks later found him a member
Of the crew OF q British transport at
the Dardanelles during the evacuation.
The transport was torpedoed, and the
captain was compelled to beach the
vessel under fire from the Turkish po-
sitions. Two machine bullets struck
Springer in the knee.
His last experience was aboard a
transport In the North sea at night.
This time the boat struck mine.
True EIoquence.
True eloquence, indeed, does not con.
sist In speech. 1t cannot be brought
from far. Labor and learning may toll
for it, but they will toll in vain. Words
and phrases may be marshaled in every
way, but they cannot compass it. 1t
must consist in the man, In the subject
and in the occasion. Affected passion,
intense expression, the pomp of decla-
nation, all may inspire to it. They
cannot reach 1t. 1t comes if it comes
at ALL like the outbreaking Of a foun-
tain from the earth or the bursting
forth Of volcanic fires with spontane.
