Fifty Saved From Two
Freighters Tell
How Were Lost
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSoCldteu FEeSS.
AN EASTERN CANADIAN PORT,
March 5.-Tales of an attack by at
least three or four" German sub
marines on a west-bound convoy
were told here last night by so sur
vivorS of two British freighters sunk
in the North Atlantic.
They reported the loss of 81 ship
mates, but said they had no mowl-
edge of the fate of the other
freighters in the convoy.
Seventeen survivors of one
freighter, sunk after two torpedoes
hit her, were landed here yesterday
aboard a British freighter. Twenty
seven others died in the four minutes
before the ship went down.
Thirty-three survivors from one
of the other ships in the convoy
also were landed yesterday. -Four
of their companions were lost when
their ship went down seven minutes
after a torpedo had struck her.
Except for a few Arabs, all the
survivors come from the British
Isles. Both captains are missing.
All In Engine Room Die.
The third officer aboard the
larger of the two ships said all men
in the engine room were killed when
the torpedo crashd into the vessel
amidships. None of the engineers
survived.
Another torpedo came seconds
later and struck the stricken craft
near the same spot, starting a fire
in the engine room which blazed
up onto the deck,
The men, the officer said, had no
time to do anything but cut loose
the four RATS and leap into the
heavy seas after them. There was
no chance to launch the hfeboats,
though he barely escaped death in
trying.
Several men were killed" he
said, when the ship in sinking
hurled us from lifeboat in which
we we're trying to escape. I was
flung into the drink and held onto
about half q hatch for nearly half
an hour before catching hold of
raft"
1t was another 40 minutes before
he and a wireless operator were
picked off their raft.
Two Trapped In Beds.
The captain was last seen trying
to cut a raft loose. The chief off,
Ger was dragged below the surface,
but his lifebelt popped him back
again and he grabbed a raft.
The third wireless operator and
the second officer were trapped in
their beds.
Another victim was crushed be-
tween a lifeboat and the rescue ship
after seizing hold of the rope ladder
that led to safety.
The third officer credited his life
to a fashlight which enabled res
cuers to spot him bobbing around.
"I don't know when I've ever been
colder" he said. The air was 6
degrees below freezing"
Not long after the last of II sur
vivors clambered aboard, their
rescue ship went to the aid of an
other group of distressed seamen.
This time 33 officers and men we're
saved, but others were lost.

Acid-soaked cinders, blamed for
causing two epidemics of runs in
women's hosiery in recent weeks,
also may have affected topcoats and
similar garments, Howard E.
Shearer, research associate at the
Bureau of Standards, said today.
Explaining that bureau experts
have established that the runs in
stockings were caused by strongly
acid carbonaceous particles probably
thrown of by boiler In the down.
town area, Mr.. Shearer said holes In
heavier outer garments would be
slower to develop.
Such clothing worn on the
disastrous days for women's stock
ings may, the expert said, be full OF
tiny holes invisible to the eye.
Mr.. Shearer is working on the
theory that the particles are not
present In the air every day, but
are thrown off when some sub
stance other than ordinary waste is
burned at rare intervals in a boiler
somewhere in the downtown area.
The danger zone has been estab-
lisned as the region between Tenth
and Fourteenth streets NV, and
Pennsylvania avenue and r street
NV. The worst spot of all, accord
ing to the 500 complaints which
have poured into the bureau on
February IS and again Monday and
yesterday, is Fourteenth street be-
tween F street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
H. K. Kugel, head of District
smoke inspection, said heating plants
of buildings in the area measure up
reasonably well to smoke standards.
He said, however, he would request
a detailed report from the Bureau
of Standards on its findings and
at the same time would forward
to the bureau the report of one
of his inspectors.
Mr.. Kugel said a member of his
staff had found quantity of small
sharp coal dust particles in the
gutter on Fourteenth street between
Pennsylvania avenue and r street,
near the coal chute of the Bureau
of Public Roads. These particles
are sufficiently fine and sharp to
embed themselves in hosiery when
carried by q high wind, Mr.. Kugel
commented. He added that both
the gutter particles and the tiny
acid cinders Mr.. Shearer reports
might be responsible for the mass
stocking runs.
So strongly acid are the particles,
Mr.. Shearer said, that stinging SEN
sation often follows their contact
with the skin. Body heat acceler-
ates their action on stockings, he
said, complicated by the fact that
they seem to be moist at the time
of settling. The dozens of pairs
submitted to him for examination
