about 600 o'clock at night We all
had special stations and boats to go
into, and of course there was rush,
but the boys acted fine. A few, of
course, lost their heads. | was down
in the hold when she was hit and the
lights were knocked out. We knew
what was the matter at once. | was
not much excited, but | was going to
get out of there. | left the crowd
and worked up forward by a way

and climbed a cable to the main
deck. When | got to my place our
boat had been blown off by the
shock. We knew she wouldn't sink
for an hour or 50, so we sat down
and smoked. | saw five lifebOats

creates a vacancy in The state CEN

On the subject of candidates in

III. Fulmer, published in a recen is

hat Mr.. Fulmer had withdrawn as

publican ticket. Ii the interview
was in any way misleading 1t was not
with the intention of putting the Ely
candidate in a wrong light, as he has
not withdrawn as a candidate. In
fact. he is a candidate. and presents
the claim that he will have strong
support throughout the state. He
authorizes the News to announce at
this time that he has had no inten-
ton of Withdrawing from the COM
ing contest. and hat while the an
nouncement OF his candidacy may
have been premature. il was none the
