ed a telegram to the South Carolina

myself into one of the others. This
boat had a capacity Of 35 or 40 and
| know there was at least 60 in it.
In the excitement, the men at the
oars rowed up against the submarine
which was lying off starboard about
200 yards. Speaking in excellent
English one of the u-boat's crew yell
ed. whats the matter with you
Yankees? Do you want to turn us
over?' We made some little haste
in showing them they were entirely
mistaken in our motives-that all we
wanted was little time and we would
put just as much water between us
and them as was humanity possible.
, 1--WE had rowed barely hundred
yards, when the Germans began to
submerge. Her wash started our lit
tie boat rocking and the men in their
mad efforts to balance her began
jumping from one side to the other
and finally capsized US, that is the
most of US were thrown out, but luck
lily, without turning the boat over. 1t
was the work of only few minutes
to haul our dripping bodies over her
side and once more settle down to the
business of putting water between
ourselves and the spot where the Ar
menian was slowly settling. The u
boat had sent torpedo crashing into
her side and in about 20 minutes she
disappeared from sight, going nose
first.
1T was about o'clock now and
we had sighted no other craft, al
though the wireless operator had
stuck to his post until one OF the
Germans shells disabled his apparat-
us.

Shell Fire Accurate.

1T was from some OF the other
crew, who were on deck when the
u-boat sent her first shell across our
bows. that l learned some of the de-
tails of the sheliing. When she sig
nailed the Armenian to stop, Captain
Trickey ordered full steam ahead
and we started the race that was to
be the Armenian's last The uboat
was sighted about five miles off star
board and was shelling us from this
distance. Just how accurate was her
fire is shown by the. fact that she
shot our rudder away, destroying four
out of seven life boats, shot both
bridges away, DESTROYED the wireless
room, shot the funnel away and fin
ally sent shell crashing into the
engine room, damaging the engines
and killing two stokers. 1t was at
this time that the captain ordered her
stopped. but not until there were l
men dead on deck. Our boat was
only a 15-knot craft and Captain
Trickey must have known that the
under sea boat was capable OF at
least IS on the surface.
I've drifted around until 8 o'clock
that afternoon, at which time the
John NJ. Stevens, tug out of Bristol,
Eng. picked US up and carried US to
the naval hospital at Holbowline. Not
being wounded and suffering only
from shock. | was discharged the
next morning. Later | Joined the

''Starting on run for one of these

first one lowered about half way and
then in the excitement, the men who
were manning the davits, turned her

Jury at Cheyenne
Censures Owner and
Lessee of Hotel

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. 5.-(Special.)
The verdict of the coroner's jury
which investigated the fire which
Quilted the nter-Ocean hotel on De-
cember II, causing the death of Roy
A. White of Charlton, Ia, his wife
and their four sons, is the most
drastic of its character ever found in
Wyoming. The verdict says in part:
The jury finds from the evidence
that Edward Chase, owner of the
building known as the Inter-Ocean
hotel failed to use ordinary precau-
tons in providing permanent fire
escapes such as are in daily and prac-
teal use on buildings of the height,
construction and character of the
building in question; that he failed to
provide proper and adequate means
of exit from the third floor of the
building known as the lnter-Ocean
hotel, by which occupants could
escape the ravages of fire; that there
was gross negligence on the part of
the said Edward Chase as the owner
of said building in maintaining and
permitting it to be leased and used
as hotel without first eliminating
the elements of faulty construction
which were known to him, and pro-
viding ample and permanent fire pro-
lection.
THE jury finds from the evidence
that the management and employees
of the Burnham Hotel company,
lessee of said building, were guilty
of gross negligence: first, in not ex-
ercising due diligence in warning the
occupants of the rooms on the third
floor of said building at the time the
fire was discovered; second, in the de-
lay in sending in an alarm to the fire
department; third, in failing to use
more active, personal efforts in alarm
ing and rescuing the occupants of the
third floor of the building.
