Believes He Met "Raider"
OF Nantucket Llghtshlp

AN ATLANTIC PORT. July rs
Capt. William Price Of the fishing
schooner Elizabeth King, @nicn ar
rived here asst night, reported meet
ing last Sunday what he believes was
a German raider about twenty miles
south-southeast of Nantucket Shoal
Lightship. A description of the ves-
sci was sent the First Naval District
headquarters at Boston.
Capt. Price said the steamer APP
preached within 100 feet of the Eliza
beth King, keeping forward and after
guns trained on the schooner. II ex-
pected he would rail U.S." said the
Captain, but he didn't, s l asked
him If he had seen any fishing
vessels in that vicinity. An officer
shouted back something in a foreign
language that none of us understood"
The steamer was about $500 tons
and BOXED as If she had been at sea
n long time. She had two unusually
high wireless masts. The vessel bore
no name or home port. and few no
flag. She had been camoufiaged APP
parently, but the paint was nearly
washed off. There was a very large
crew aboard, Capt Price thought.
The incident occurred between )
and 0 o'clock in the morning. This
was three hours before a German sub
marine appeared off Orleans on the
Cape Cod shore and attacked a tug
boat and its tow of barges.

HAVE THEIR OWN TROUBLES
BY No Means an Easy Task for Stok-
ers to Hit the Furnace Door
When Ship Rolls

It was while / was being Initiated
into the technique of stocking by SHOW
cling coal under the boilers that
a change of course brought the
swinging seat dead abeam, and set the
ship rolling even more drunkenly than
before, writes Lewis r. Freeman In
Popular Mechanics Magazine. After
failing to hit the dark spots" and
"hollows" two or three times rs l
staggered to the roll, and once even
missing the furnace door itself, n
of the stokers, taking compassion, re-
lIeved me of the scoop and put the
trouble right with a half-dozen quick
" tossed shovelfuls. I wns frankly
glad to work over to where / could
take n "half-nelson" round a bar by
the starboard bunker.
A heavy slam-banging from the OPP
posite end of the boiler room Indicated
that things were not going quite so
smoothly there, and edging cautiously
along, I was presently able to get
some hint of the cause from the words
Of a volubly curslng stoker who llmped
out to tell me that the "blinkin' skip
'as took charge" Rubbing a bruised
shin and glowering balefully from a
blackened eye which appeared TO have
been bumped against a boiler, he ex-
planned, In language more forceful than
elegant, that some impractical theorist
had encouraged them to experiment
with wheels on the side OF the skip,
with the idea OF making IL easier to
push about over the c~oalcluttered
deck. In the picturesque language OF
the sea, It had "taken cherg and
SO effectually that one swift. straight
rush to starboard, FOLLOWED by a "goog-
ly" progress back to port, put every
man who, either by chance or intent.
barred Its way. more or less hors dc
combat.
Straight down the one-in-three In
cline from the port to the %starboard
bunkers lolloped the juggernaut. dash

and that his brother-in-law, the Ger
