 Well, I didn't know what had happened nor did any one else ex cept those above on the bridge. The compartment I was in was directly back of the torpedo compartment which is, of course, the compartment at the head of the boat. We closed \the air-tight door between the two compartments and put an air pres sure on the torpedo compartment to keep the water from coming in SC fast. We also put a pump on it.

 Then the Captain came down and looked into things and we found out the trouble.
 'The Captain, after sighting the convoy thot that they had seen us already and so shot some coloreG lights into the air for recognition signal that we were American They didn't recognize us by the signals either One transport was very close. Our lookout bunch on the bridge heard the transport Captain say Fire and so our Captain said Don't fire; we are Americans and all the rest on the bridge joined il the chorus, Don't fire.
 But the transport skipper had his mind made up that we were German and our men heard him reiterate his order to fire, and fire they did The shot hit us, and that was vhat the first crash was. The shell made hole in the bulkhead, but glanced upward and hit the superstructure hit another cable, cutting it in two and dropping our anchor, bumped ill to a couple of air tanks, denting then and hit the other side of the boat and lodged. Then our men heard them re-loading the gun and then we DID holler Don't fire.

RED CROSS TO
 CONTINUE DRIVE
 FOR MEMBERS
Committee Has Decided to Continue the Crive a Few Days Longer
 in Juneau.

The Committee in charge of the Christmas Roll Call for Red Cross membership has decided to continue he Roll Call a few days longer to enable those who have not been able to enter their names on the lists up to this time. The lists will be left with the business houses and it is now the hope of the committee that he solicitors and the business men will get back of them and see that III are enrolled.
 The returns up to last evening from Skagway, Haines, Sitka, Petersburg, Perseverance, Thane and the Alaska Juneau were very satisfactory. The committee reported 2,3S6 member ships which included these and the enrolment in Juneau. The influenza epidemic has had it's effect here as he quarantine regulations have pre- vented many of our people from com ing down town and of course the committee could not go to their homes. It is hoped that all of those who have not enrolled up to this time will take advantage of the addi ional time offered and get their names on the list.

As we had backed the motors and as the de. stroyer had swerved, she barely grazed our bows, scraping fire from the collision as she passed by. That was the second crash. Had she hit us little farther back, she would have crashed right thru our torpedo room, exploding eight torpedoes of INT. and both sub and destroyer would have gone to the bottom. She had a depth bomb all ready to turn loose on us as she passed by.
 The shell we picked up and made fast to the boat and carried it back to port with us. It was a 7:5 inch shell and full of TINT. about 40 pounds. By mere luck on our part it had faulty time fuse and didn't explode upon hitting us. Had it. ex- ploded right there in the torpedo room, our eight torpedoes would have exploded and-well Davy Jones would have had some visitors.
 We had to blow six tanks of oil into the ocean to keep from sinking. That caused the hole to be above the water line and we stuffed mat tresses, etc. into it and so were tenn porarily o. K.

Last Summer brief and disconnect ed accounts leaked into the press ol an attack by British conveys of transports, carrying American troops to Europe, upon an American sub chaser, which was mistaken for a German submarine. The attack was admitted, but only brief accounts of 1t were ever given out. Rev. George c. Bruce of Juneau is in receipt of a copy of a letter from boy who was on the sub chaser, giving very graphic account of the encounter The boy, Allen Beckwith, of East St. Louis, H., and his parents and other relatives were neighbors of the Rev. Mir. Bruce when he resided in East St. Louis, before coming to Alaska. MT. Bruce says the boy is a fine, outstanding young chap, and reliable.
 Allen Beckwith wrote the original letter, copy of which was sent to Mir Bruce, to his uncle, fearing that it would alarm his parents if they got the letter.
 The letter contains some Josh Bill lings spelling, indicative only of Al lens sense of humor, because he is well educated.
 The letter follows:
 Konfidential Dept, July 23, 1918. Dear Si:
 q didn't write all my adventures in the other enclosed letter as I thot maybe I'd better not relate them to the folks.
 But I'll tell you some stuff. On the 20th. we went out expecting to stay about g days. We'll at 2:57 a. m. on the 23d., we met a convoy or rather they met us. We, were laying on the surface charging bat teries with one motor and air with the other and of course standing still It was so dark that we did not see them till some had passed by on either side of us. Then we saw one when it got between us and the moonlight on the water and i'm mediately spotted several others.
 T was lying in my bunk half asleep when I heard the captain call down. Back both motors full speed AS we were charging air and juice it took several seconds to shut down charge and throw the clutches onto propellors and the cap tain seemed awful excited and hur- ried and called down to hurry up! hurry up!' So I decided he had sighted German sub and was man. converting to get sight on her and give her torpedo. He ordered the
