ships company of II arrived here
today after a japanese Subma-

and spilled us into the sea five
days ago.
Our ship apparently was the first
victim of Japanese submarines oper-
ating in the Indian Ocean. 1t was
attacked by torpedo and shellflre
about midnight January IA some 270
miles of the west coast of this
Dutch Indies island
The shelling finished off an attack
begun when a torpedo scored di-
rect hit on the vessels engine room,
killing five and injuring four Of the
crew.
Suffered Leg Injuries.
Although l suffered leg injuries, I
got oversize in a lifeboat with some

attack British shipping taking
the roundabout but less-exposed

The submarine cruiSed on the
surface for half an hour within 100
yards of our four hfeboats, but made
no attempt to shell or machine
gun us. Then it fired five shells
broadside into the crippled ship and
she sank by the stern.
Suffered From Thirst.
Two of the life boats reached
shore in the Batoe Island group. of
the Sumatran coast north of here,
yesterday. The other boats have
not been sighted yet, but they are
believed to be in the Siberut Island
Area off the coast.
For the first two days all four
boats remained within hailing dis
tance of each other, then high winds
and rough sea separated them.
The sun broiled us and we suffered
| from thirst since the life boat casks
were smashed Natives of a small
island supplied us with water, how
ever.

Washington 0arsmen
Rout CaIiiornians,
Set New Marks
Only Joyvees Pressed
As Huskies Overcome
Three Beor Crews
By the Associated Press.


SEATTLE. April 18.-The Univer-
sity Of Washington set three new
course records today in making a
clean sweep OF It's seth annual crew
regatta with the University Of CAL
Hornia. r.-.,e-.
The freshmen and varsity crews
won handily but the jayvees were
hard pressed by the concensus-
favored Bears.
The Husky varsity won by
lengths in 1854 to CALIFORNIA; 1905.
The former record for the Smile
Leschi-Madison Park course, last
raced over In 1890, was 1883. set
by Washington varsity In 1922.
The junior varsity won In 1855,
half second and about feet ahead
Of the Bears. The old jayvee course
record was 1926, set by Washing
ton In 1925.
The Husky frosh won their 2-mile
event in '10:205. California, In
10:434, also surpassed the old fresh
man mark of 1854 established by
the Huskies in 1920.
The jayvee event held most of
the thrills. It was a hard driving
event from the start, climaxed in a
breathless finish. California jumped
to a lead at the gun, but Washing
ton quickly closed. There never
was open water showing between
the shells throughout the 8 miles.
Evening star., 1942-04-19

the varsity race from to miles
IL held on Onondaga. 1t was believed
the stewards favored that site over
the Severn and Cayuga If they do
not elect to return to Poughkeepsie.
The waters of Cayuga are famous
for kicking up at the most unex-
pected times. while the Severn does
not offer as fine course for a
large field as either the Hudson or
Onondaga.
Bushnell pointed out it naturally
cost more for the colleges to train
on the Hudson since they have
their lighthouses TO maintain and
the training period usually lasts
several weeks. II held at any other
site. the training period probably
would be reduced and the facilities
Of the host college used to house
equipment.
Observation Train Gone.
The observation train, annually
used at Poughkeepsie, has been dis
mantled, but Bushnell said he be-
neveo other provisions could be
made for spectators. Backers of the
Syracuse site would erect bleachers
and permit automobiles to park in
the State park bordering the course.
There also is the question whether
the Navy Department would ap-
prove holding the race on the Hud-
son and whether the cooperation of
the Coast Guard could be had for
policing the course.
Washington and California, one
of them the winner of eight of the
last nine varsity races, and Wiscon-
sin have shown enough interest to
indicate they plan again to chal-
lenge the Eastern crews and are
waiting only definite site and date
before announcing their plans.
Either June Is, Is or l6 are the
proposed dates If it is held at
Poughkeepsie.
