DUNCAN HOME ON

Walter Duncan, Electrician on the

his wife, whose home was in San
Francisco, had succumbed to influ-
enza January 9th, just the day be-
fore the death of his step-mother in
this city.
Young Duncan has had world
of experience in Uncle Sans Navy,
having crossed the Atlantic eighteen
times, or rather, making nine round
trips. His ship was target for the
German sub only once, and this time
a torpedo crossed her bows only by
the narrowest margin. Young Dun

licved when it failed to register a
hit. He says there is no describing
the sensation one feels when he sees
that white streak coming towards
the vessel you are on. The Presl-
dent Lincoln, their sister ship, was
sent to the bottom in twenty-seveh
minutes and the President Grant res
cued the crew and passengers, only
twenty-six being drowned out OF
more than six hundred. -c
