CORRESPONDENT.


Buenos Aires, July 1S.-The DELHI
crate destruction of the Argentina
sailing ship Oriana without notice
OF any kind to the crew has aroused
widespread Indignation throughout
Argentina, and stringent police pre-
cautions are all that have prevented
a repetition of the serious roiting
which followed the sinking OF the
Monte Protegido
The manner In which the subma-
rine announced its presence to the
Oriana discharging shell against il
without the least warning, may indi-
cate why there has been ON news or
any trace of the steamer Curumalan,
which disappeared while on voyage
from Glasgow To BuenOs Aires
Following is the entry made by
Captain Jensen. Of the Oriana, in his
logbook. as cabled from Toulon:
June 8, 1917: At 1855 p m We
heard cannon shot without knowing
IL =
we heard another and saw a projec-
tile fall so metres from our bow
Compromising that hostile sub
marine was near and seeing the inn
possibility of escaping ON account of
the clear moonlight and the slow
speed of our vessel, | gave the order
to stop, that they might see that We
had no idea of escaping, and in the
hope that they would cease cannon
aiding us.
Immediately after this manoeuvre
4 sheet hit us which cut the shrouds
on the upper part of the mainmast
Another shell passed us parallel TO
the ship at distance of only some
inches on the starboard side The
water which it threw up inundated
part of the poop.
"As | saw that the submarine in
tended to sink the Oriana without
giving the crew the time necessary to
save themselves, | ordered the life
was carried out Immediately.
Once all the crew We're embarked
in the boat, gave orders for course
to be steered away from the direction
whence the shells came. When we
were a good distance | gave orders
to stop, and awaited developments
hD thvt, ett III -. u.
After firing three other shells at the
Oriana 1t approached our lifeboat and
ordered the captain and chrew to
come aboard. leaving in our boat
only four men who knew how to row.
The order having been complied with,
an officer and two German seamen,
with the four men from the Oriana.
proceeded in the direction of the
Oriana, which was more or less $50
metres distance. These four men
from the vessel were the first Of

by Ludvigsen, the Germans placed on
board the Oriana three automatic
bombs, one in each hold. Afterwards
all returned to the submarine, and
the Germans went aboard. The COM
mander of the submarine then ordered
the captain and other members of the
crew of the Oriana to return to the
lifeboat, Two minutes later we heard
three consecutive explosions. very
faint, and the fOriana began to dis
appear with all her sails set.
after being witnesses of such
lamentable spectacle the crew made
towards the coast. On the following
day, at 5:25, we met the French
coastguard ship Indefatigable, which
transported us to the port OF Toulon

Death Of Dear, Good Mother

On Jan. 6, 1917, the angel OF death
entered our home and took from us
our dear, sweet mother. She was sick
only three days with pneumonia and
bore her suffering with patience until
death relieved her and called her home.
Mrs. Adell M. Smith was born Aug,
II, l848, age seventy-nine years, seven
months and six days. She was the
mother OF fourteen children, of which
six haye preceded her to the grave,
eight are left. Each home left lonely
without mother.
Funeral services were conducted at
Bethel Baptist church by Bro. Barker,
OF Greenfield, on Jan. z, after which
her body was carried to the Hornbeak
cemetery and laid to rest to awsit the
resurrection morn.
Weep not, dear brothers and sisters;
mother is not dead, but sleeping;
weep not as those who have no hope,
for, il we live right we will meet dear
mother again where there will be no
more parting.
Dear, sweet mother, they tell me you
are gone, but we will see you again in
the ! ocd-washed throng in a heavenly
cloir; around the throne you'll stand
with a crown upon your head, harp
in your hand, and then will we know
as we are taught in Gods word that
blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord.
