~6yEN UP FoR DEAD
Fsarnnoaf Lad has Thrilling Exper.
/. ..f, tsace when Ship Sinks

/ Ambrose Bullock, son of MI. w.
b. Bullock Of Fsirmont, N. c., was
on the Tuscania when she was tor
pedoed near Ireland three weeks ago.
The young man was reported among
the. missing and his parents had Civ
en- him up for dead when they receiv-
ed letter from him telling
them OF his thrilling adventure. The
letter il taken from the Lumber,on
Robesonian:
''Lorene, Ireland,
Feb. 7. 1918.
Dear Father:
II am as we'll and safe as could be
expected after what l went through
with. I guess you have heard by this
time Of the perilous voyage of the
s. s. Tuscania, which carried the U.
S. troops. 1 was with them, but am
safe once more. thank God. am
enjoying myself fairly we'll. and am
going to make the best of it all and
take myself through safely SO don't
worry as for me.
We were on water eleven days
when the tide of the Irish sea, Eng
lish channel and the Atlantic met,
which makes a very rough sea, and
deep one. I was waiting with a
pal OF mine for supper down on low
er deck, when we heard a loud can
non-like sound, the report of a tor
pedo from a German submarine,
which did the work. Immediately
after she was hit the electric lights
went out, and left us in pitch dark
ness. Then there was scrambling
among $500 troops to get up on
decks. where the life boats were.
The fellows seemed to be very cool,
so there was no panic. But in the
meantime the big boat was listing
to one side and sinking. The ropes
FOR lowering the boats were no good
and the crew must have been excited,
FOR several life boats loaded with
men were dumped over and dropped
into the water. I saw lots of boys
drowning, some of my own squadron,
for all that were assigned to my
squadron but one were smashed to
pieces.
"Ill tell man it was awful. At
first I thought 1 had rather stick to
the ship for awhile, but she began to
sink very fast, and quite a bunch of
fellows was still on board. The crew
had gone and all the boats were
gone, so it seemed that I was out OF
luck. and l was about to give up,

not refrain at this hour, when the

grief over the news Of our loved John
David's death on the b9ttle front in

modest tribute Of respect to the
memory Of this nne young soul that
has so tragically, but heroically.
passed over to the western shore of
life.
John David was peculiarly one of
US. as he literally grew up with Dill

boy and young man. his genial dis
position. his happy smile. for every
one with whom he came In contact.
his clean life, and the sweet, unfair
nished innocence Of childhood's ma
ture that he retained until the last,
he had entwined himself with tendrils
strong as steer' about the hearts of
the young and old and made himself
a part Of the best and purist in the
life of the town-the. only things in
his country called it required no pro-
phetic gift to tell that John David
with the splendid ideals he always
cherished and diligently strived to
attain, would be among the first to
respond to the ringing call OF duty

some OF them masquerading as lead
ers, who under the "camouflage" of

John David and others have gone in

lives in order that the rights of

excuse for his failure to fight for
these things that constitute the only
safeguard of human society. of
which he is a part!
1t is an unalterable sorrow to all
of us that we will never again in
this world enjoy the genial presence
and clasp the friendly hand of this
noble boy, but 1--WE mourn not as
one who has no hope" and the rich
legacy of a noble life and exalted
