of the Ticonderoga? This ship was
only thirty-five miles north of US at
the time it was shelled. We changed
our course at once, going further
south. Next day the Henry George
was attacked just ahead of us and in
sight, so we again made full steam
away.
My ship is new snip of 5000 tons
cargo. We vary from forward to aft
and try to stay out of trouble unless
we are attacked. OF course nearly
every day we have a little fun, for
that is sighted at sea, if we
don't make out what it is then the
general alarm is given and we put a
few shells into it for luck, and let me
say that our gunners don't fail to hit
the first shot, and after that every
thing is easy going.
Affectionately, Sonnie.

COLORED BOY KILLED
r. Nj. Mccain Badly Hurt and Stand
ard Oil Truck Torn to Pieces by
SeabOard Limited at Sum-
merfield

Pulled by two engines. and trying
to make up for an hours lost time,
the Seaboard limited, northbound,
came thru Summerfield late yester-
day afternoon at almost mile
minute. At the street crossing below
the station, it hit the Standard OH
Company's truck, spun it round and
round like a top and left it lying
crumpled up like child's toy wagon
by the track. At the same time, Percy
Hagen, colored boy, who was riding
on the truck, was hurled thru the air
like a stone from sling, hundred
feet or more, and striking the ground
rolled over and over for several
yards, before he finally stopped, SEN
seless and battered into a bloody
mass.
R. M. McCann. who was driving the
truck, chung to the steering wheel,
and tho badly injured lived thru the
flying earthquake that must have
made him think he had been grazed
by 16-inch shell.
Everybody in the vicinity ran at
once to the wreck, picked up the col
ored boy and pulled Mr.. Mccain out
from the fragments of the truck. The
train was running at such rate that
it went almost mile before the en-
gineers could stop it; then it backed
to Summerfeld, took the injured men
aboard and brought them to Ocala.
Mr.. Mccain was taken to his home
and the boy to the Afro-American
hospital, where the doctors did what
they could, which was little. He died
at II o'clock last night.
The principal reason for the acct
dent was that freight cars were lined
up on the sidetrack at Summerfeld so
as to completely hide the coming
train from the driver of the truck.
The engineer gave the usual signal,
but the noise made by the truck kept
it's driver from hearing either the
whistle or the bell.
Under private management, the
railroad would be liable to heavy
suit for damages, and the engineer in
charge of the train would be liable to
a charge of manslaughter. We don't

ownership. Certain it is that a train
shouldn't be allowed to run at such a
rate thru a station where the cars,
with the fun knowledge of the rail-
road men, are arranged in such a
|deathtrap.
Mr.. McCann drives the truck for
Mr.. w. w. Rilea, the Standard Oil
manager for this district. He is Sc
verely but not seriously hurt. 1t is a
miracle that he isn't dead. Percy
Hagen's relatives live in Shady and
he had gratefully accepted the chance
to ride home.
We don't know whether Mr. Nc
Cam OR the dead boys relatives will
ever collect any damages, but we bet
the Standard Oil Company will be
paid for its truck

from one Of his former scouts now in

'T'm having a taste of real sailor

taste was exceedingly salty. This
was when / was doing convoy duty
along the coast, during which we got
sub or two, and finally one morn
ing just before daylight certain sub
stuck its periscope above the water,
and the next thing / knew / was fly
ing toward the briny deep with most
Of the crew. The sub got us that time.
Well, we got out of that, most OF us,
but we left a mighty good friend and
shipmate of mine, who was lying In his
bunk near where the torpedo got us.

ed up many a crew who got the same
