The case of Captain Charles Frvatt
has been classed with that Of Edith
Cavell, the British nurse wko was exa-

was wa commander of the British steamer
Wrexham on March %, 1915, when tho
German submarine U-33 ordered the
Wrexham TO stop near the Mas light
SNIP Captain Fryatt, acting as ne af-
terward said under orders Of the Brit.
lsh Admiralty, attempted to ram the
submarine. The German U-boat nar.
rowly escaped by diving.
Fryatt's exploit was hailed in Enc
land as brilliant one and no attempt
was made to keep his identity secret
Instead the British Admiralty gave him
gold watch for his bray conduct"
and he was mentioned in the House of
Commons. Thus the Germans learned
tne identify OF the mariner who had
attempted to sink their submarine.
"a, 1915, Captain Fryatt was captured
by the Germans, together with the
steamer Brussels, which he was pilot
ing from Rotterdam to Tilbury. Ger
man warships took the Brussels into
leebrugge. About a month later. july
2S, the announcement came from Rer
lin that Captain Fryatt had been exc
cued by shooting, after trial before
a German court martial.
The German official statement de-
clared that the captain was executed
for a "franc-tireur crime" against
armed German sea forces. The trial
was held at Bruges on July p. The
British Foreign Office had learned about
ten days previously that Captain Fryatt
was to be tried, and, through the Amer
lean Ambassador in Berlin. James w.
Gerard, had endeavored to provide for
his defence before the German court.

LONDON, Sept 13-(Correspond-

disabled soldiers, many of whom had
lost leg in the war and wore an
artificial one in its place, climbed the
$50 steps of the House of Commons
tower the other afternoon to study
the mechanism of "Big Ben" the
giant timepiece. The soldiers arc
being trained by the Ministry of La
Dor in watch and clock repairing.
One, spying the clock mechanism,
exclaimed: as this the works? 1t
looks more. like a blinking printing
machine"
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim
thorp and was placed in the tower in
1859. 1t has been working for GO
years and is still regarded as one Of
the best timekeepers in the world.
The minute hand is IA feet long
and weighs 224 pounds, and the pen
dulum, which requires two seconds to
complete each swing weighs 700
pounds. The bell which sounds the
hours has diameter of nine feet and
weighs IA tons, the weight of the
striking hammers being 766 pounds
An electric motor now winds the
clock in 20 minutes. Formerly it took
two men working three afternoons
a week to complete the task.
