Newport News. Va. Dec. Cap
tain George w. Freeland last night
stated that Captain James Morris, of
the recently torpedoed steamship Ar
gala, returned to his cabin at the risk
of his life to secure bottle of brandy
for the use of two men blown from
the stokehold of the steamer when
she was struck by the torpedo.
The stokers were minus their cloth
ing and were badly shocked by the
explosion. Both later recovered from
their injuries Captain Morris not
only risked his life to get the stimu-
liant for them, but also gave one of
them his coat. suffering a great deal
from cold as the result.
Captain Morris saw the men strug-
Cling in the water, had them picked
up and placed in the boat. and then,
despite the fact that the Argalia was
sinking so fast he and the crew knew
he was risking his life, dashed back to
the cabin for some brandy.
Members of the Argaiia's crew
characterized Captain Morris deed as
one of the most heroic they had ever
seen Captain Morris made light of II
