The Guardsmen, As well as their COM

friends whether they would be assigned
to patrol duty in the District or not.
Orders had not been received last night

sank her, according TO the account
given by survivors of that British
vessel who have reached British
shores The chief engineer of the
steamer, who many times after the
steamer was torpedoed was peril
ously near drowning gave the fol-
lowing narrative of his experiences:
About o'clock on Tuesday even
ing when we were 200 miles off land
/ saw the wake of an approaching
torpedo. The vessel gave a 1.rch

the deck among the debris. The YES
sci listed heavily and all of us took
to the boats. ..-..
THE submarine approached and
shelled the vessel and then ordered
the small boats alongside the sub
ed and taken inside. The others
were mustered on the deck of the
submarine.
THE Germans removed the life
belts and the outer Clothing of all
except eight of us, smashed the life
boats with axes and then re-entered
the submarine and closed the
matches, leaving us on deck. The
submarine went about two miles
and then submerged.

apprentice boy of 16 shouting for

until midnight, but he became I'M

The second engineer, who also was
a survivor succeeded in reaching the
Belgian Prince before she blew up.
The Germans came on board and
looted her he reported. He was in
hiding but finally jumped into the
sea and kept afioat on the wreck

There are some mental tests in
connection with the work which, al
though incidental, are severe and
call for exercises of a strong will.
The most trying of these is the
march through the breakfast room

after the preliminary stunts in the

the party, pyramids of crisp toast at
every plate, the cool, netted green
surfaces of the led caantaloupes

of themselves on the mahogany, and
the fragrance of coffee, and other
things in preparation coming in
from the kitchn But nobody can
waver here without disgrace, for the

there is no shade. This will all
