of the German submarine. I went TO
him and told him we were about to
abandon ship. Without removing his
eyes from the ocean. he exclaimed:
THE dirty beast! II he'd only show
himself and let me get a shot at himr

leave the ship. We saw her sink. Four

Belgian fishing boat. subsequently, we

There was a remarkable circum-
stance In connection with the torpedo

marine attacked us three apprentice
boys. who had been chasing a kitten
over The deck. sat around the funnel
waiting for puss to come out from
beneath the skyl'sht combing. where
DO had taken refuge. While they were
sitting there. The torpedo hit our ship
and exploded. Up went the funnel, up
went the skyIight and up went the
Kitten. One Of the boys was hurled
into the ash shute; another went
throught the skylight for a thirty
foot drop into the hold, while The

Two Of the boys escaped all injury.

BONES OF ALMOST 100
INDIANS 7UNEARTHED

With Bones Near Bath.

Tomahawks, Beads and Medals Found
With Bones Near Bath.
Washington, N c., March IA rich
historic find was unearthed near Bath,
the oldest town in North Carolina,
when farm laborers Saturday morning
unearthed the bones of almost one
hundred Indian bodies on the shores
of Bath Greek. The skulls and other
bones were in almost perfect condi-
of the savages obtained employment
ton. A number of relics, including
tomahawks, beads and medals, were
found with the bones. The relics
were found on property belonging to
J. B. Archbell, a well-known farmer
Of the Bath section. Several of them
have been brought to Washington and
are being exhibited here.
County historians believe that the
bones belonged to Indians who at
tempted a general massacre of the
whites in this section during. the early
part of the eighteenth century. At
that time the Indians plotted to wipe
out the white population of Edenton,
Bath and NeMABern. A large number
given, we're supposed to fall upon their
in the homes of white people and,
when the signal for the attack was
employers and Stay them. In some
manner or other the whites became
aware Of what was up. On the day of
the attack every Indian servant was
either killed or made a prisoner.
When the savages on the outside COM
menced the attack they were met by
a stiff resistance. The old Marsh
home at Bath, which is still standing,
was the center of the attack. The
huge brick chimney still bears the
mark of bullets. The Indians were
defeated and suffered heavy casual
ties. It is believed that the whites
buried all of the red men in a single
grave and that this grave was un-
earthed Saturday on Mr.. Archbell's
farm. One mans bones were found
somewhat apart from those of the
others and it is believed that he was
a chief. A medal was found on his
asst. ! -. 81 a s*as40s
