1 body that was able taking turn at the oars
 After we had drifted for I do not know how long, there were faint flashes of lightning on the horizon and later when the puffy wind began to strengthen We ins.inctively knew there was trouble ahead.
 STORM COMES
 "The storm came quicker than we ex- pected 1t. The wind blew like a gale and kicked up a nasty sea. The boats pitched and soon became separated We who were in a motor launch seemed to be alone in the storm Rougher ana rougher became the water and the boat rolled and pitched.
 RIGHTED LAUNCH Finally she capsized and all of the s5 1 in her crew were thrown into the sea She was righted and capsized again, while we clung to her This occurred the sea began to calm. It was pitch dark.
 Finally we kept the launch rigltted, but she was full of water. We clung to her and hailed the water out with our hands. Some could not stand the strain. became exhausted, let go their | hold and sank. It was terrible. We bailed out enough water to let one of us in. Then he bailed furiously and | enough water was scooped out to per init second to get into tho launch. We kept on bailing until the launch was able to bear the weight of a third l person and a fourth.
 | We kept this up all night until fin ally all those who still clung to the sides of the motorboat were able to get in. When the last was helped over the side we found that there were but 1s of us. Sixteen had gone" COMING OF DAYLIGHT l With the coming of daylight, the hopes of the survivors rose with the sun. The sea had calmed, but day | light revealed nothing but the broad expanse of the Atlantic. All hands came to the conclusion that none of the oth CT boats had safely come through the storm and that all of them must have perished.
 l After awhile an object was seen 1 in the water. There was no way to

 reach it as the launch had lost her ever, drifted close and the survivors
 were startled to discover a girl alive clinging to the bodies of two drowned
 men. The bodies were incased in life belts, but the girl wore none. She ap- peared to be good swimmer and with her own efforts and olinging to the
 bodies for support she managed to re main afloat The launch got neal enough to effect her rescue and sh' proved to be Elona Donate virola c lPoto Rico She is one of the two wom en landed. She was one of those in thu launch and became separated from i

 bodies were left and the launch con

The story of the survivors did not be- come public until they were taken to the railroad station late this afternoon an I left for New York. One of their num- Der, however, was detained. He is a German member of the crew and will be held pending an investigation.
 CAROLINA WARNED
 According to the survivors. the Caro- lima was warned late Sunday afternoon by wireless to look out for submarines The steamer was advised that three- masted schooner had just been sunk ana was cautioned not to show lights At 6 o'clock Sunday evening submarine ap- peared close to the Carolina. She was about $50 feet long, survivors said, ana later was identified as the U-s7
 The submarine signalled something which our captain could not make out, ' said one of the survivors, and then the U-boat raised the German flag. We were ordered to heave to, and the captain. fearing that the submarine would shell the steamer if he did not obey the order. signalled the engineer to reverse the ea- zines and stop.
 "A German officer with an armed guard came alongside and gave orders to our captain to lower all boats ami leave the ship in 20 minutes. Of course, 1t would be useless to say that none of us were frightened, for where there arc more than 50 on ship about to be sunk there must be some timid ones Good or der was maintained. however. The sea was smooth and there appeared to be no elements of danger Nobody thought of a storm and the German officers ap- peared to show consideration to the pas sengers as they hurried to leave the steamer.
 TEN BOATS LOWERED
 Ten boats were lowered and every body got in. There was little or no con- fusion. All the time the submarine lay as close as possible, members of her crew standing on her deck watching us or busying themselves about the boat. After all the life boats had swung away from the Carolina, the German officers board ed the abandoned steamer, ordered one of the life boats to return. This fright ened many in the other lifeboats, but after a time We found out the reason for the Germans action. In going through the steamer he found seaman who ha, been left behind and he had ordered tho lifeboat to return for him.
 SPELLED THE CAROLINA
 When this last boat was clear of tn, ship again the Germans left the Caro- lima and in few minutes the submarin, shelled her seven times. Then she burs into flames. Whether the Germans SC her on fire or whether the smelling ha. caused ire to break out do not know.
 Tt was beautiful Sunday evenIni as we drifted, no one knew where. I'll, sun began to set as the Carolina slowl, went down. Then 1t got dark and feel ing of fear overcame many of us, but ", hoped for the best The sea was stil smooth and there was no danger ap parently. We strained our eyes to see light, but there was none. All the boat kept as close together as possible, every

FURTHER ADVANCE
IN COTTON PRICES
Trading in Futures Influenced
by Various Unconfirmed
RumOrs.

A further sharp advance met IN
creased realizing in the cotton market
yesterday and after selling at 2e.42o.
January broke to 24.65c. closing at
Is. s0c. The general list closed barely
steady at q net advance OF 10 to 40
points on the more active positions, but
from Q to IS points lower on May and
later deliveries
A number OF factors contributed to the
early advance. Reports that tho rail-
roads had resumed the use OF through
bills Of lading in the handling or export
cotton were regarded as favorable, while
Southern spot advices were bullish and
there were rumors that foreign Govern
ments were In the domestic markets for
certain lines Of cotton goods. These
rumors seemed TO inspire fresh COM
mission house buying and there were
reports that limits were being removed
from some Of the buying orders around
the ring. The urgent demand that gen.
orally develops when there Is a specula-
tive short interest was lacking. however.
and as soon as a disposition to take
profits showed itself the market turned
easier. Reports from the South are gem
orally bullish. Liverpool buyers were
said to be in the spot markets for jan
uary shipments without finding much
cotton for sale and the basis was re-
ported higher than It was on the pre-
vious day.
