Fred Gauntlet Tells How He Escaped When Giant Liner
Was TOrpedoed.

heeled over sufficiently, the water
would begin to pour into the portfolios.
This would accelerate the inflow of
water and hasten the flooding of the
ship.
He made hasty mental calculation
and arrived at the conclusion that il
the portfolios once started filling, the
ship was lost, because there were on
the listing side of the great liner more
than 500 such openings, each of which
would admit large stream. As the
| first tier filled, the ship would list
more rapidly; this soon would bring
down the second tier and shortly after
the third. The result would be a YER
liable Niagara of water pouring into
| the ship.
| When it was apparent he could rally

/ he went on deck. Already the LUST
tania was listing sharply He took
off his coat. The deck was at an IN
comfortable angle. He waited. A
cry came from alongside. A woman
and child had slid into the water
With the aid of a sailor he attempted
to rescue them and did succeed in
dragging one into the life-boat only
in time for it to become fouled and
sink Then came an especially sharT
list and the deck tilted at such ar
angle that he could hold on no longer
and he slid into the sea.
! Mr.. Gauntlet says that the narrow
i. est escape he ever had in his life
came moment afterwards. He
struck out from the side of the sink

when the great liner took her fina

into the water. Between them was
strung the aerial of the wireless, q

wire. As they came down into the
sea, they surrounded him and it was

freed himself. For half an hour he

CHARTER ACTIVITY
Is CHIEFLY IN GRAIN
Tonnage Not Plentiful for
Immediate Loading, but
Demand Is Dull.

Trading activity in the full cargo
market continues to be confined to grain
and West Indies time charters in both
Of which departments a fair volume OF
business was done last week Tonnage
available for immediate loading is not
Plentiful, but neither is the demand very
urgent. Although hope OF Improvement
little later Is entertained in some
quarters. the lack OF inquiry for ships
for August and September loading is
regarded as an unfavorable sign.
Considerable business in grain was
dene during the week from North At
lantic ports, but the demand has fallen
OF. Rates TO the Continent from here
are unchanged at 1914 and IA cents a
hundred pounds. but in line with the
greater need for tonnage for Montreal
loading to the Antwerp Hamburg range.
the late quotations have been 15j2
cents. an increase OF u cent over last
weeks rate. Additional business that
could be booked at this rate was N
the market Saturday.
Mediterranean demand for grain ton
mage has not been active. and a num-
Der of boats have gone begging lately
at 10 cents from North Atlantic ports
and 1919 cents from Montreal. Several
OF the grain shippers might take on
concessions under the going rates. but
the majority seem indisposed to 20
'long' on tonnage in any circumstances.
Only two sugar charters were
recorded during the week. these being
Tor Cuba to the United Kingdom at a
rate of 81 shillings per ton. Some ad-
ditional business might be done at
shillings less. but there is no tonnage
offered at this rate. Northbound trade
20 United States ports is still being
adequately handled by the large time
charter fleet operated by the regular
lines
Except for the small West Indies
boats. there is little demand for time
charters. and ships of $500 tons and
over, though offered at concessions from
former rates, are not being taken up.
One South American coal charter
was done, and one to the west coast
OF Italy otherwise coal prices rendered
export impossible. There was a little
business reported from England on ship
rnents for the United States, but this
can only be done at a ballast rate of
about 8 shillings PER ton. which is not
particularly attractive to the operators,
whereas the possibility of an early set
t;ement of the coal strike tends to hold
importers off.

FIVE IN LAUNCH ESCAPE
FROM LINERS SCREWS
Engines Stop as Little Boat
Ships Churning Water.

The power launch Ventura was made
fast by painter to a quarter OF the Ma
tional Greek liner King Alexander when
she was cleared at Quarantine yester-
day afternoon and started for her Brook
lyn dock. There were five men in the
launch, including Customs Inspector
Charles Schwab. and they set UP a shout
when the Ventura was drawn into the
frothy tumult Of the liners twin screws
For a few minutes 1t looked as II the
launch would be wrecked and all hands
have a watery fight for their lives; but
swift signaling to the bridge stopped the
engines and the launch's painter was
cast of The launch shipped lot OF
water, but was not damaged
