CREW OF JACOB
M. HASKELL
ARRIVED IN PORT

Woods Hole, Mass, June 1.-The crew of
the Boston schooner Jacob NJ Haskell, which
was sunk by German submarine, 40 miles
east of Barnegat, n. j., Sunday. was landed
at an Atlantic port by the steamer Grecian
of the Merchants and Miners line today
Eleven men of the Haskells crew had been
in their small boat for 10 hours when they
were picked up by the Grecian, bound from
Philadelphia for Boston
An officer of the Haskell said that the
Grecian after leaving Philadelphia, satur-
day night heard firing and put back inside
Cape May. Later she sailed, but saw moth.
ing of the German U-boats
The experiences of the Haskells crew
I were related by George H. Gilliett. the mate,
whose home is in Revere. He said
The first We knew of the presence of the
Germans at noon Sunday when shot
was fired across our bow by the submarine
which sank us. Only one man deck
at the time, the rest of us being below at
dinner. We all rushed above and at first
could nothing, but a few minutes later
Capt. William Ii. Davis discovered the I'M.
dersea boat in the distance, An officer
and several men came aboard of US and
were told to leave the schooner at once.
While we were putting few cans Of water
and some tins of biscuits in our boat the
Germans went about and placed bombs on
the vessel
Following the orders of the submarine
officer we went along side the U-boat, where
we remained until our vessel was sent to the
bottom. The submarine shelled her in ad-
dition to exploding the bombs and she sank
in about five minutes.
The German captain, who spoke good
English, treated very nicely although he
had little to say. After the Haskell had gone
down he told us to proceed and b8de us a
CHEEKY goodbye. The last we saw of the
raider she circling aroud aimlessly, APP
parently waiting for other vessels. The
we're no other ships in sight at the time.
The schooner Edward II. Cole had been a.
stern of us the day before and apparently
was torpedoded before We were attacked"
Mate Giatt said that although they were
very close to the submarine they saw no
marks to indicate her name number,
She appeared to be over 200 feet long he
said:
After putting off from the submarine"
he continued. I'VE headed for the New Jer-
sey coast and passing Barnegst light in the
early evening, made fast to fish trap about
j o'clock
I've remained there until daylight. Dur
/ ing the night a thunder squall came up and
we were all thoroughly drenched. Soon
after daylight We started our engine up
again and short time later sighted the
Grecian. We raised an oar as signal of
distress and the steamer took us aboard"
Captain Davis expected to continue his
trip to Boston in his power boat today.
None OF he men were any the worse for their
experiences.

vent general strike of operators EN-
pluyed by the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Cos. :. j. konenkamp, pres
ident Of the photographers Union, said
tonight before leaving for Chicago.
Upon his arrival there ne planned to

National War Labor Board, which
sought TO compose differences between
the companies and the men.
After two days spent here in discuss

the nun Der that might be involved.
Mr.. Konenkamp said he had been as

COMMANDER
OF SHIP TEXEL
TELLS HIS STORY

An Atlantic Port, June 4-Captan Ken
meth B Lowry of the Texel is convinced
that his ship was sunk by one of the new
German submarine cruisers and that 1t
crossed the Atlantic and did not come from
a base on this side of the Atlantic.
Conversation with the German commander
leads him to that belief A piece of shell
picked up in the ensineroom indicated. the
en- gineer said, that the submarine carried
at least six-inch guns.
Twelve Of the Textrefs crew were inter
viewed. Two said the submarine Was $50
feet long and ten placed its length at at
least 500 feet. 1t carried guns fore and
eft.
The Germans acted with all the polite
ruthessness of western bandit according
to Captain Lowry who is but IS years old
AT O'Clock Sunday afternoon was off
duty and was lying in a hammock, he said
Suddenly we heard a shot and whiz across
our bows. / sprang up and ran to the bridge
just as second shot tore away the ham
mock, Then the submarine rose and fired
two more shots. One of these tore away
part of the bridge and one went through the
engineroom, disabling the machinery After
the fourth shot the submarine ran up the
German flag an an officer appeared IN the
coming tower and ordered us'hove to
We 'hoved' all right and a boat put of
from the submarine and came over to us. Up
over the side sprans young German officer.
Il had Iiped all hands to quarters and
certainly was proud of the way the men re-
sponded There was not a trace of confu-
sion. The German commander came right
up to the bridge and extended his hand 1t
as certainly funny way to capture q boat,
but lie looked friendly and l shook hands
with him. He said: I'm sorry to do this,
captain, but this is war, you know. Get
your men off as quickly as possible. We are
going to sink your ship
The crew was transferred to two life
boats with some bareback and water and the
ship blown up by bombs.
The crew of the Texei rowed from o..
clock Sunday afternoon until midnight last
night. When the men landed they brought
with them kitten, the mascot Of the crew.

sail set. The dynamite bombs placed
on board were exploded by gunfire from
the deck of the submarine. he said.
Besides Capt. Davis, whose home is in
Medford, the Haskell carried Mate

seven seamen. all of this city.
Cohasset, Mass, June Capt Will

cob NJ Haskell, arrived in his motor
boat tonight from New England port
where he had been landed by the steam
er Grecian. With Capt. Davis were one
of the mates and the cook OF the
schooner. The boat came through the
Cane Cod canal. The others of the
crew made the journey to Boston by
train. Capt Davis decided to land here
for the night rather than to try to bring
his boat into Boston in the dark.

After review of the hole position the
