Tells of Tanker's Rescue

The U. S. freighter and troopship
West Haven, which towed tue disabled
l0,0OO-ton tank steamship BAechleaf to
an anchorage off Sandy Hook Saturday
night, docked in South Brooklyn yes-
terday to discharge her 2,3O0-ton cargo
of captured German artillery and am
munition. Her prizes include two high
powered German guns that, with their
carriages, weigh forty tons each. They
were captured by men of the 77th and
9th Divisions Of the A. E. F. Being
too large to be lowered into the hold,
both were lashed to the vessels deck.
Captain C. w. Dcvereux, of the West
Haven, said that he received a wireless
call from. the French steamship
Chaleur, giving her position and say
ing that she was standing by the dis
abled tanker Beechleaf, which had had
fire in her engine room. The French
man had made several fruitless at
tempts to take the tanker in tow, but
each time the hawsers parted. The
Beechleaf's wireless was out of COM
mission for sending messages, and her
engine and steering gear were disabled
AS soon as he got within signalling
distance Captain Devcreux arranged to
take the tanker in tow, and informed
the master of the Beechleaf that he
would snd his instructions by wireless
1t was arranged that he should repeat
the message four times after which the
tanker was to signify receipt of the
message by giving three blasts of her
whistle. He finally worked the West
Haven to a position within fifty yards
of the tanker, and made fast the chain
and spring hawsers, with which he
towed her to port.
While the work of making the lines
fast was in progress Captain Devereux
sent pharmacists mate to give first
aid to two men who were burned by
the flames that had spread through the
tanker's engine room. One of the in
>jured mon was S. Yanai, a fireman,
who died and was buried at sea. The
other injured man was Alfred Pricco,
the fifth engineer, who was burned
about the face and chest but is ex-
pected to recover

Man Killed Under Auto

TRENTON, N. j., June Sired j.
Heydorn, thirty years old, a repair

A taxi driver found the two women

hours after the accident. He took them
to- the Mercer Hospital. Mrs. Nor
risey had two broken ribs and a
broken leg, while Mrs. Meyer was in
jured internally. The women said the
car swerved and then turned over
twice when Heydorn attempted to light
cigarette without slowing down.

he had been q professional writer:
zone has a strange feeling about
books when he is In the immediate

The watchers by his bedside thought
he was dead. Suddenly he raised him
