Clipping from California Paper Gives
Graphic Account Of Sinking
Of Tank Steamce.

The following from a California
paper, the Mercury Herald, sent as a
dispatch from Los Gatos, Cal under
date Of September Is. gives an in
tefestlng account Of the sinking &c
the tanker Cudahy, en- Angus; II, by
q German submarine in which young
Harris Sproles, son Of Rev. and Mrs.
JL.Sproles, formerly of this citycame
near losing his life. The young mans
father was for several years pastor
Of the First Baptist Church Of this
city, and his mother was formerly
Miss Laura Harris, a daughter Of
the late G. r. Harris.

and who was later picked up by a
Greek vessel bound for America,
reached the home Of his parents, the
Rev. and Mrs. J, L. Sproles on Palm
avenue, Glen Ridge, late yesterday
afternoon. lie has a Today furlough
which he hopes to get extended, for
he is overjoyed to be home after his
thrilling sea experiences and he needs
the rest and recuperation.
In telling the story Of the sinking,
ne said that early in the morning of
the 18th of August-eight minutes
Of 5-just as the light of day was
breaking, and the dark sea was
smudging the line of the horizon, the
cry, Torpedo" came from six Of
the eight men on watch as they
caught sight of the "tin fish" swiftly
skimming its way toward the ship.
This was Immediately followed by the
"Hard a. starboard;" but before the
ship could be brought around in her
course, the torpedo struck amidship.
The sub then passed to the other
side Of the ship and shot torpedo No.
2 on the port side, planning thereby
to cut the vessel in two.
Mr.. Sproles then went on to say
that he could relate many gruesome
tales--how men were killed and of
their sufferings, but he would refrain
from narrowing the minds of his
hearers with the horrors of his adj
venture. He stated, however, that the
second torpedo burst a tank Of crude
oil and drenched the men from head
to foot with the contents. When the
men were in the life boats, the sub
came alongside and the crew and Of
ficers laughed over their plight. The
commander said he would like to take
q few Of them to Germany for SOU
venirs, but they looked "too id

The speaker told of their so hours
