sat up suddenly, wide awake, a
strange, ill-dedned fear clutching at
my heart. What was it I had heard?
a cry? blow on the deck above? Had
I really heard anything, or was it
merely the echo of a dream? The
stateroom was dark as Erebus, but I
got my feet over the edge of the berth,
and switched on the electric light.
Even as stood thus, my hand still on
the switch, someone ran swiftly across
the deck directly overhead, and a.voice
wavered out:
"Port, sirI' Hard aport-my God !"
There was startling crash forward,
the awful sound of crushing iron and
splintered timbers. I was flung head
long against the partition, barely saw
ing myself by outstretched hands, but
falling bruised and helpless to the
deck. The electric flashed out instant

streamed through the glass of the port.

tight. The slant of the deck gave one

boats hung in davits above the rails;
two of them were gone; one hung trail
ing overheard, half submerged, with
the bow still swinging to the tackle;
the fourth had been smashed into kim

could look down at the dangling craft,

and unable to locate the sound. Nc
Cam was crouching against the cabin,
but the woman, aided by the flag

out over the stern rail and was point

I worked my way cautiously forward
to where she chung, the lantern swung

me view of the whole uptilted stern.
The dory, which had evidently been
left trailing astern, was actually af1oat,
although half filled, and her oars,
jammed securely under a thwart, were
still in place.
The position of the vessel, the water
logged condition of the smaller craft,
told me at a glance the whole story.
What was left of the crew of the Es-
meralda, together with those guests
who had lived to attain the deck, had
made their escape in the two missing
boats-they would hold twenty each,
and were strong and seaworthy. No
doubt the smashed one there had been
lowered first, but the tackle damned.

killed. The others had clambered
aboard the two left, leaving him
crushed behind.

ABUSE OF MISSIONARIES
IN EAST AFRICA CHARGED
Subject OF British Paper Will Form
Part of Terrible Indictment
Against Germany.

Insults and physical torture inflicted
upon helpless English men and women
by their German captors in German
East Africa in the early days of the
war form the subject of a special Brit
ish parliamentary paper. copies of
which have just reached this country.
This report, embracing the sworn
testimony of many missionaries and
native teachers, will form part Of the
terrible indictment against German of
ficialdom, which, 1t is expected. viii be
brought up at the final reckoning at
the end of the war. The aftidavits are
by British civilians. mostly mission
aries. men and women, who We're en-
gagged in church work among the ma
tives and who. under all rules of war
fare, We're privileged to quit German
territory in safety upon twenty-four
hours notice after the outbreak of war.
Permission to leave was refused by
the German officials on the ground OF
the military exigencies' and the un-
fortunate civilians were kept as pr1S-
oners. the testimony says, confined in
crowded quarters, with insufficient food
ton, and forced to do all sorts of ex-
hausting labor, SO that some were per-
manently injured in health.
Every effort was made to degrade
the prisoners in the eyes of the natives.
The men were Obliged to act as la
borers for native masonS and to per-
form many degrading tasks. The wom-
en- are declared to have been obliged
to witness the bathing of German sol
diers and to submit to insults and
abuse from the native guards and Ger
man civilians.
