 Thought Quickly, Saved Lives.

Hamburg, Germany, April 2S Pt- Captain Larin, of the ill-fated Brit ish collier Kirkwood, which the American liner President Harding rammed and sank in the mouth of the Elbe Saturday during a heavy fog, today said he and his crew owed their lives to presence of mind of Captain Beebe of the President Harding.
 He described how Captain Beebe, rauming his bow far into the stern of the kirkwood, kept his ship at full speed ahead for about two. ,.min- utes, or such time as was necessary to save the crew of the doomed tanker. The effect of the full steam ahead was to give the Kirkwood a lateral propulsion of its own which kept it afloat momentarily before it filled with water and sank.
 The entire crew with the excep- ton of one fireman, who was drown cd, were rescued.

"of all the flora and fauna Of

they and the baby deserve our
