There was much anxiety from Fri
day until Tuesday, especially in the
family of o. L. Allison, residing just
south of Meridian, over the news of
the sinking by a German submarine
of the troop ship abraham Lincoln
somewhere near the English coast.

message dated June Sd, was received
by the boys father, from the bureau
of navigation, navy department

"This bureau has just received a
list of the men lost in the sinking of
the U. S. S. President Lincoln, Nav
81, and is glad to inform you that

Allison, ship cook, third class. does
not appear on said list. The bureau
is glad to conclude that your son Is
among the survivors. Disposition or
destination of survivors is not known
to the bureau at this time"
The welcome news relieved bur
den from the parents, who for three
days had been bravely hoping for the
best.
This is the. first accident of any
nature occurring to a Meridian boy
Let us hope that if there is news oi
any accident to any of our boys IL
the future, the outcome will be as
fortunate as with Wilfred Allison.
