Greatly Exhausted by the
Severe Experience.
LEWES, Del., June 4. Nineteen sur
vivors, passengers and crew, of the
steamship Carolina, were landed here
today and brought a harrowing tale
of the sea, the news of the loss of 16
of their number and a remarkable
rescue of a girl while they drifted
helplessly by on the ocean during a
severe thunderstorm Sunday night.
Ten boats left the Carolina before
she was sunk by the German subma-,
rine U-37. All passed through the
same storm and the survivors here
said they had felt sure all were lost.
They expressed great Joy when In
formed that most of the Carolina's
company had been saved.
The 19 persons landed here were
brought in by a British vessel that
picked them up more than 25 miles
off the Delaware capes. They were
taken in charge by the Naval authori
ties and cared for at the station near
Cape Henlopen. None oi them had any
knowledge that the submarine had
shelled the lifeboats.
Cermnn Survivor Detained.
The story of the survivors did not
become public until they were taken
to the railroad station late this aft
ernoon and left for New York. One
of their number, however, was de
tained. He is a German member of
the crew and will be held pending an
Investigation.
According to the survivors, the Caro
lina was warned late Sunday after
noon by wireless to look out for sub
marines. The steamer was advised
that a three-masted schooner bad Just
been sunk and was cautioned not to
show lights. , -
At 6 o'clock Sunday evening a sub
marine appeared above the surface
close to the Carolina. She was about
350 feet long, survivors said, and was
Identified as the U-37, ,
"A German officer with an armed
guard came alongside and gave orders
to our captain to lower- all boats and
leave the ehip In 20 minutes," said one
of the survivors.
Good Order Maintained.
"Of course it would be useless to say
that none of us was frightened. Good
order was maintained, however. The
sea was smooth and there appeared to
be few elements of danger. Nobody
thought of a storm and the German
officers appeared to show consideration
to the passengers as they hurried to
leave the eteamer.
"Ten boats were lowered and every
body got in. There was little or no
confusion. All the time the submarine
lay close as possible, her crew stand
ing on her deck watching us.
'After the lifeboats had swung away
from the Carolina the German officers
aboard the steamer ordered one to
return.
"This frightened many in other life
boats, but after a time we found out
the reason for the action. In going
through the steamer ha found a fire
man who had been left behind, and
he had ordered the lifeboat to re
turn for him.
"When this last boat was clean of the
Fhip again the Germans left the Caro
lina and in a few minutes the sub
marine shelled her seven times. Then
she burst into flames.
Storm Separates Survivors.
"It was a beautiful Sunday even
ing. The sun began to set as the Caro
lina slowly went down. Then is got
dark, and a feeling of fear overcame
many of us. The sea was still smooth
and there was no danger, apparently.
All the boats kept as close together
as possible, everybody that was ablo
taking a turn at the oars.
"After we had drifted for I do rot
know how long, the storm came. The
Kale kicked up a nasty sea. The boats
pitched and soon became separated and
we who were in a motor launch seemed
to be alone in the storm. Rougher
ana rougner became the water, and
the boat rolled and pitched.
"Finally she capsized and all of the
aj in her were thnown into the sea.
She was righted, and capsized again
while we clung to her. This occurred
t-everal times. The storm passed, rnd
the sea began to calm. It was pitch
uarx.
"Finally we kept the launch righted
but the was full of water. We clung
xo ner ana Dailea out the water with
our hands. Some could not stand the
strain, became exhausted, let go their
hold and sank. It was terrible. We
bailed out enough water to let one of
ua in.
All Get Back Into Boat.
"Then we bailed furiously and enough
wilier was Euoopea out to permit a
ffcond to get into the launch. We
kept on bailing until the launch was
able to bear the weight of a third and
& lourtn.
"we kept this up all night until
finally all those who still clung to the
Bides of the motor boat were able to
fret in. ."When the last was helped over
the side we found that there were but
ly or us. Sixteen had gone."
With the coming of daylight the sea
calmed. All Hands came to the con
elusion that all in the other boats had
perished.
After a while an object -was seen in
me water. mere was no wav to
reach it as the launch had lost her
prasoline and oars. The launch, how
ever, drifted close and the survivors
were startled to discover a girl alive
linging to the bodies of two drowned
men.
The bodies were incased in life
belts, but the girl wore none. She ap
peared to be a good swimmer and with
Iier own efforts and clinging to the
two bodies for support she managed
to remain atloat.
rorto Rico Girl Rescued.
The launch got near enough to her
to effect her rescue and she proved
to be Fiona Donato Virola, of Porto
' Ttico. She is one of the two women
landed.
She was one of those in the launch
and became separated from it when 1
capsized. The Identity of the two dead
men is not known. Their bodies were
left and the launch continued to drift
until Monday afternoon, when it was
picked up by the British vessel.
All the passengers and crew suf--fered
from exhaustion, but were well
on the way to recovery when they left
for New York.
The two women brought ashore wore
little clothing and they were supplied
by the women of Lewes.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. June 4.
; Twenty-eight survivors of the New

which was sunk by a German sub.
marine Sunday evening', were recover
ing in hotels and at the Soldiers and
Sailors' Club here tonight, after 40
hours in the battered boat from which
they landed this afternoon.
The women " were suffering from ex
haustion, a number of them being un
able to stand when lifted from the
boat, and all had suffered from hunger
and thirst, as they had only a little
water and few biscuits during the time
they were at sea. None was in a seri
ous condition, however.
Emergency Hospital Established. .
The prostrated passengers were lifted
bodily from their seats and carried to
an emergency hospital on the sands.
One woman fainted as a lifeguard
lifted her from the yawl and ran to
the tent with her. At that moment
the notes of the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner" floated Into the tent and the
woman, half rising on her cot, cried
hysterically, "We're safe safe at last."
Then she sank back again into uncon
sciousness. Mrs. C. H. Westbrook, of New York,
who with a 13-year-old girl, was among
the rescued passengers, paid high trib
ute to Lieutenant McLaren and the men
of his crew.
Mrs. P. J. Hamilton, wife of Chief
Justice Hamilton, of the Porto Rico
Supreme Court, and Miss Carlotta
Hamilton, her daughter, were among
the saved.
Lieutenant Tells of Attack.
Lieutenant McLaren, in charge of the
boat, said:
"We were attacked Sunday evening
off Atlantic Highlands. The same
submarine that sank the Texel was our
assailant. Several shots were fired.
We were told by an officecr of the
submersible that no harm was intended
the passengers and crew. 'Proceed to
get into your boats with all possible
speed,' he said, 'because it is our In
tention to destroy the ship."
"We dropped our ten boats and pro
ceeded to fill them leisurely. There
was nothing like a panic. Women and
children behaved admirably. I never
saw anything finer."
NEW YORK, June 4. Officials of
the Porto Rican steamship line re
ceived the following message today
from Captain Barbour, of the Carolina:
"I am aboard the schooner Eva B.
Douglass., off (a certain coast light
house). I have 150 passengers and 94

French Tell of U. S. Aid.
The French "War Office's statement
today also chronicled the participation
of the American armies in the new-
battle, and for the first time definitely
placed the Americans as standing
with the French and British in the
path 06 the new German rush.
One body of Americans is mentioned
as defending Neuilly wood. This little
patch of forest lies just to the -south
of the hamlet of Neuilly la Poterie and
is eight miles west of Chateau Thierry
and about seven miles due north of
Nanteuil, which is situated on the
north bank of the Marne River below
Chateau Thierry.
Yankee Machine Gunners Active.
The Americans participating in the
fighting near Jaulgonne are about six
miles northeast of Chateau Thierry
and at about the middle of the Ger
man line along the Marne. The Ger
mans now hold the bank of the Marne
from Chateau Thierry to VerneuiL
Other dispatches also tell of how
American machine gunners helped the
French to hurl German troops back
from Chateau Thierry on May 31.
With the American troops aiding the
French at two points on the new battle
front, there, are indications that the
War Department had some advance
knowledge of the purpose of General
Foch, supreme commander, to put
American troops into the fight on the
new lines. It is known that announce
ment of some important action of the
American forces in this area was fore
shadowed in yesterday's official ad
vices. Americans on Hun Flank.
The action at Neuilly, In which the
Americans participated in thrusting
back the German advance, appears to
be on the flank of a renewed German
effort to press westward. To the
north the Germans have progressed di
rectly "west on the road from Soissons
to Compiegne also. It is thought pos
sible that an effort is now being made
to encircle Villers-Cotterets forest,
which has so far proved a stumbling
block in the road of the great turning
movement hinging on Soissons which
is in progress.
in mac case tne Americans are at a
point where desperate fighting is to
be expected, and their dash and eager
ness may well be of substantial aid
to the French in stemming this new
thrust to cut off Paris from the battle
zones of Picardy and Flanders.

ATLANTIC CITT, N. J.. June 4.
Captain Kenneth B. Lowry, of Brook
lyn, telling of the sinking of the
steamship Texel, 36 survivors of which
yesterday reached here in leaky boats,
said the submarine captain who board
ed the Texel spoke good English. After
the German had taken over the Texel
Captain Lowry reported that the cap
tain said:
'I hate like to do this, but we
have been ordered to get into action or
return home. We have been over here
for two months."
"Tnere was no attempt to get the
men. Captain Lowry continued. e
manned two boats and everybody was
saved. When we were leaving one
submarine nearly crashed into us. The
captain shouted and waved us back to
safety."
Captain Lowry is convinced that his
ship was sunk by one of the new Ger
man submarine cruisers and that it
crossed the Atlantic i and did not come
from a base on this side of the At
lantic. Six-Inch Guns Carried.
Information dropped during a con
versation with the German commander
leads him to that belief. A piece of
shell picked up in the engine-room in
dicated, the engineer said, that the
submarine carried at least six-inch
guns.
Twelve of the Texel crew were in
terviewed. Two said the submarine
was 350 feet long, and 10 ptaced its
length at least 300 feet. It carried
guns fore and aft. The Germans acted
with all the polite ruthlessness of
Western bandits, according to the
skipper, who is but 28 years old.
"At 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon I was
lying in a hammock," he said. "Sud
denly we heard a shot and a shell
across our bows. I ran to the bridge
and a second shot tore away the ham
mock. "Then the submarine rose and fired
two more shots. One of these tore
away part of the bridge and one went
through the engine-room, disabling the
machinery.
"Heave To" Orders' Obeyed.
"After the fourth shot the subma
rine ran up the German flag and an
officer appeared in the conning tower
and ordered us to "heave to."
"We 'hove' all right, and a boat put
off from the submarine and came over
to us. Up over the side sprang
young German officer. He was little
more than a boy.
"I had piped all hands to quarters.
There wasn't a trace of confusion. The
German commander came up to the
bridge and extended his hand. It was
certainly a funny way to capture a
boat, but he looked friendly and I
shook hands with him. He said:
"'I'm sorry to do this, captain, but
this is war, you know. Get your men
off as quickly as possible. We are
going to sink your ship."
"I gave orders to clear the boats and
meanwhile the German officer looked
on. He told me he had been some time
cruising around the Atlantic coast, but
that I was his first prize. He seemed
to be apologizing for capturing me.
All Take to Boats.
"When we were all safely transferred
to two lifeboats with some hard-tack
and water he asked me if I knew
where I was. I told him I did and he
expressed the "hope that we would get
safely ashore.
"He put off at the same time I left
in the second lifeboat. As he climbed
aboard his submarine he waved a
farewell and went into the conning
tower. A moment later the U-boat dis
appeared." A member of Captain Lowry's crew
said the Germans before leaving the
Texel planted three bombs around each
of the two-masts and placed some more
bombs in the engine-room.
The three boats, two from the Texel
and the one from the submarine, had
hardly cleared the doomed vessel
when there were five explosions in
rapid succession. The boat was fairly
blown apart and sank almost imme
diately. Meanwhile the crew of the Texel
started "to row west to the shore. From
5 o'clock Sunday afternoon until mid
night last night they rowed, the cap
tain taking his turn with the rest.
TEUTON DRIVE IS WEAKER

Verneuil and Dormans, the enemy con
centrated several of his best divisions,

of prisoners, that an attempt to cross

shoulder to shoulder in an attack near

mans back with severe losses and cap

LONDON. June 4. The military cor
respondent of the British wireless serv
ice writes:
"Between the rivers Aisne and Marne,
while the fighting continues all along
the line, the operations may almost be
said to have ceased to be a German
advance and to have subsided into
fights for local positions. Thus, while
the enemy claims to have taken Chau
dun and the heights to the west of
Chateau Thierry, the French have re
taken the village of Faverolles and the
Mont de Cholsy. But except on a large
scale map the change in the line is
scarcely perceptible.
British Advance Line.
"On the rest of the new ground there
have been no changes except for the
operation by which the British ad
vanced their line locally at Thlllois to
the southwest of Rheims. The moment
has evidently arrived when the Crown
Prince's army must appreciate that
they aloho can achieve no decisive re
sult and the German higher command
must make decisions of great moment.
"Meanwhile on the northern sector
west of Armentieres the British have
not remained passive, but have car
ried out a remarkably successful raid
at Merrls, capturing 288 prisoners, 30 J
machine guns, several trench mortars
and an anti-tank gun."

Members of Congress, who conferred

a demand among the people for the re

If so, the German effort to crush
United States participation in the war

conspicuous than a triumph our ship

"It was because German submarines
of about 800 tons could remain at sea
only a short time, were very uncom
fortable and the conditions were very
telling on the nerves of the crews that
the enemy evolved a larger type mod

"What is the truth about the German
submarines?" he continued. "These
cruisers displace not 5000 tons, but
about 2000. They ar not 450 ftet long,
but less than 300 fe4t. Their speed on
the surface is not 2S knots, but about
12 knots. When submerged they do
not travel at the rate of 15 knots an
hour, but approximately 10 knots or so.
"It happens that we have heard more
about the operations of the German
submarines than about the British,
simply because the enemy offers few
targets for our submarines, while we
offer the enemy thousands of targets
every week. The percentage of hits
by our submarine is about three times
that of the Germans, which in Itself

many years was associated with the
late Frances K. Wlllartf. founder of

perience with Tanlac Mrs. Stone said:
"I think it is the duty of everyone
who has been relieved as I have to do
what they can to help others; there
fore it Rives me much pleasure to tell
of the benefits I have derived from the
use, of Tirnlac.
"I was a great sufferer for many
years with nervous trouble, which be
came so bad that 1 had to take to my
bed. where I lay for six weeks entirely
helpless and unable to move. The least
little noiBe would upset me and I was
not allowed to see anyone for fear it
would excite me, and I was told that
my entire nervous system had suffered
a total collapse. You see. I had passed
through the great San Francisco fire.
In which I lost everything" I possessed,
and the experience was a severe shock
to my already overwrought nerves.
When at last I was able to Ret out of
bed I would have such awful dizzy
spells that everything: in my room
seemed to spin around as though I
was in the center of a whirlpool. My
stomach was so weak and my appetite,
so poor that I hardly ate a thing:, and
what little I forced down toured and
formed bus that pressed up into ray
throat and in my chest and maiie m
so hoarse that it was an effort for me
to speak. I also suffered much pain in
the lower part of my body from this
same iras pressure. My liver, too, was
all out of order and my kidneys save
me no end of trouble.
"When my son-in-law saw that tho
medicines I was takinjr were doing mo
no Rood, he Induced mo to try Tanlac.
as he said it had done him so much
Rood he believed it would help mc. too.
To obllRe him, I Rot me a bottle and
the first few doses soon convinced me
that It was Just whrt I needed, and my
first bottle put me rlRht on my feet. I
am now on my second bottle and am in
splendid shape, for my nerves are prac
tically in a normal state for the first
time in all these years, which I con
sider a remarkable thins. I have a fine
aDDetite and can eat most anything; I
want without sufferinR any unpleasant
ness afterwards. Tanlac is fast help
Inn me to overcome my troubles, and I
feci that I am Retting on Just fine ever
since I beRan takinR it."
