SAVES 600 YANK SOLDIERS
Goes to Assistance of Transport
Otranto When She Was Sunk in
Collision Off Irish Coast With
American Troops on
Board.
BY E. w. BARRETT.
Editor Birmingham Age-Herald.


If eyer a man were entitled to the
distinguished service medal, it was
hat young British lieutenant, Fran
els w. Craven of the destroyer Noun
sey.
A dispatch from London announced
that President Wilson had awarded
him,this medal and that Maj. Gen. Bid
die, commander of the American
forces in the United Kingdom, had
presented it to him.
The medal was awarded, in the
words of the London cable, ito Lieut..
Francis w. Craven, who commanded
the British destroyer Mounsey, which
saved 600 American soldiers from the
British transport Otranto, when she
was sunk in a collision off the Irish
coast on Oct. 6, 1918, with the loss
of 357 American soldiers
Though the British government con-
ferred no honor upon Lieut.. Craven for
his work, because it was not an act
of valor in war combat, no nan in any
navy ever showed more courage nor
demonstrated more perfect seaman
ship than did Lieut.. Craven on this
occasion.
The full story is worth telling, now
that the censorship is off and no fur

Flagship of Convoy.
The Otranto. which went down, was
the flagship of a convoy of fourteen
troop laden, influenza infected ships
which sailed from New York on Sept.
26 last. She was a British-Australian
liner, with something like a thousand
American soldier boys aboard. On her
sister ship, the Orontes, a nasty old
plague infected refrigerator ~freighter
with limited and dirty passenger ac-
cOmmodations, eighteen hundred sol
der boys, the writer and about fifty
other passengers were crowded to-
gether like cattle.
We were accompanied from New
York by q. battleship, Il cruiser and a
destroyer. The route was to be around
the north of Ireland and down the
Irish channel to Liverpool. All sorts
of hard luck hit the convoy and par
ticularly the Otranto. She first ran
into a fishing fleet and cut down two
boats. but saved the crews. In doing
so she fell behind, but caught up
when we ran into a fearful storm and
continued battling against it for sew
