OFFICER Of LINCOLN
TELLS THRILLlh6
Tale Of SINKING

London, Oct. 3o.-(Correspcnden
OF The Associated Press.)-Here is the
story of Lieut. z. W Isaacs, of the
United States Navy, watch officer of
the American transport President Lin

in the Atlantic on May 81, last He
was captured by the German sub
marine which sunk the ship. When
off the Scandinavian coast he at
tempted TO sIi mashore, but was cap
tured. On his way to a prison camp
in Germany he jumped from a train
but was recaptured. He escaped from
the prison and swan across the Rhine
river to safety in Switzerland.
The story has been told briefly in
The Associated Press dispatches but
details are so filled with the spirit OF
adventure as to be well worth the tell
ing.
When the President Lincoln went to
the bothom of the ocean, Lieutenant
1saacs, who is from Cresco, Ia, climb
ed upon a raft. Soon afterWard the
submarine emerged and her COIN
nander demanded the captain of the
President Lincoln as prisoner. The
survivors told him they believed the
captain had gone down with the ship.

taken prisoner
While this was going on Lieutenant
Isaacs said, he lay on the raft with
his arms under him to hide the Of

England an spoke English fluently.
Apparently Remy had been affected
by our civilization" said Lieutenant
Isaacs, cas- he treated me pleasantly
while inquiring as to the whereabouts
OF the skipper Of the Lincoln. 1 was
told that I would tell him where he
could find our captain or go to Ger

not conform with his first command

meat, eggs and real coffee The fol-

cruising about seeking new victims she
was sighted by two American de
stroyerS.
while the destroyers were plung1ng
toward US we were getting under the
water as rapidly as possible and final-
ly stopped at depth OF 60 meters,
Lieutenant Isaacs said When the
depth bombs began exploring every

pretty badly scared. Now and then
junior officer would sing out to the
captain that a destroyer was about
so far away to starboard or port as
the case might be. They were record
ing the positions with their listening
devices. Then would come a depth
charge. 1t is difficult to describe just
the sensation, but IL seemed to me
much like a dog shaking a rat and 1t
was anything but pleasant to be IN the
rat. With each explosion look of
horror would flash over the faces Of
the Germans, for they expected every
moment that one Of the charges would
be fired bit closer and they knew
their claft could not Withstand it."

off the Scandinavian coast Lieutenant
Isaacs said he decided to attempt to
swim to shore when the submarine
approached territorial waters. With
his life belt on, he was just slipping
over the side shortly after midnight,
when he was discovered by Remy
himself and pulled aboard.
On arrival at Wilhelmshaven he was
