propriation bill as agreed upon by the
senate naval affairs committee today
carries the provision for the establish
ment of a submarine base at Tongue
Point, near Astoria, as nassed by the
house. The house appropriation of

extensive deep-water nayal base on
San Francisco bay. and .authorized the
appointment of a naval commission

Two X'ocatloiui Considered.
The committee also voted to appro
priate Jl, 000,000 for the preliminary
wetfi of the commission, which will
. -be instructed to confine its selec
tion of a site to one of two locations,
Hunter's point, on the San Francisco
side of the bay, and Alameda. The
ultimate cost of the proposed base
has been estimated at from $40,000,
000 to $75,000,000. It would replace
the Mare Island navy-yard as a dock
ing point for capital ships. The Mare
Island yard would be used in the fu
ture as a construction yard and a
repair depot for smaller vessels.

nia, stated that the Alameda or Oak

had been offered to the navy depart

committee to further explain pro
visions in the appropriation measure
for enlarging naval facilities on the
Pacific coast. He was heard in execu
tive session, after a brief open meet
ing during which he urged an in
crease in the appropriation for the
training and development of the nava

To be wounded four times by the
explosion of a torpedo fired by a Ger
man submarine, to be adrift for five
days and nights in an open boat and
carrying a silver plate in his right
wrist as a memento of the occur
rence, were experiences of Captain
James Doyle, master of the steamer
Otho, which is loading flour at the
Port of Astoria terminals. The ex
plosion happened on the morning of
July 11. 1918, about 500 miles from
the French coast, and 11 men were
killed, while many others were in
jured. In relating his experiences
this morning Captain Doyle said:
"We sailed from Seattle April 22,
1918, on the steamer Westover with
a cargo of flour for New York. I
was execufve officer and Captain
Ogllvie was master. We put into
Norfolk for orders. While there Com
mander Cirough came on board and
asked for volunteers to join the navy.
Of the crew of 39 men, three of us
joined. They were Captain Ogllvie,
myself and J. J. Gatdsick. A crew
of 96 navy men were then assigned
to the vessel atjd we proceeded to
New York, discharged our flour and
loaded army supplies for France. We
sailed from New York on June 27
with 22 other steamers, convoyed
by two battleships and two destroy
ers. On the second day out we de
veloped engine trouble and dropped
behind and from that time ran alone.
Hole Torn In Starboard.
"About 7 o'clock on' the morning
of July 11 as we were making 11
knots and with a high sea running,
a torpedo struck us and exploded
under No. 3 hatch. It tore a big hole
in the starboard side of the vessel
near the bridge, destroyed a part of
the bridge, threw the chart table
through the partition and set fire to
the settling tank containing 216 bar
rels of oil This blew up and set fire
to . 600 sacks of paper mail and 700
mattresses, which were stored on the
shelter deck, and these in turn spread
the flames everywhere.
"We immediately turned three lines
of hose on the fire and kept going
until the second torpedo hit the after
magazine, which contained ISO shells
for 5-51 guns. These exploded, set
ting off 600 tons of T. N. T. in the
after hold. This explosion blew the
stern off the steamer and split her
in two for a distance of 200 feet. The
big gun aft was thrown high into
the air and coming down killed six
of the gun crew of eight men. The
ship then went down rapidly and was
under water within 13 minutes after
the first torpedo hit her.
Lifeboats Cut Loose.
"We had cut the lifeboats loOEe
and when the steamer sank, five of
the seven small boats were afloat
and we swam to them, all but 11
members of the crew getting on
board. The latter included the chief
engineer and paymaster, who were
among those killed by the explo
sions. Within a few seconds the sub
marine, which was U-51, came to the
surface and ran alongside us. Her
commander, who -spoke good Eng
lish, ordered me on board, but I re
fused, as I was badly wounded. He
then let us go, after giving ub a sup
ply of bandages and saying he was
sorry anyone was killed. It was an
unusually humane act for a subma
rine commander, and it was his last
one, as the U-51 was destroyed the
following day by the destroyer
Whipple.
After five days and nights in an
open boat we reached Brest in safety.
we were passed by the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and Leviathan.
but they, of cdnrse, could not stop
ror us. i was in the hospital at Brest
for 16 days, when a call for volun
teers was made and I was sent to the
steamer Concord to tow disabled ves
sels in. Later I was In charge of
five piers at Brest harbor until I was
finally sent to Brooklyn hospital for
treatment."

Efforts to Adjust Differences
San Francisco Yards Fail
to Brins Peace.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. An
nouncement that they had been un
able to reach an agreement with the
shipyards of the San Francisco bay
district to end the strike that began
last October was made here today
by James O'Connell, head of the metal
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor, and eight other
national officers of metal trades
unions who had come here for the
purpose of ending the dispute If pos
sible.
They said they were returning to
the east with the Intention of prose
cuting. the strike more vigorously
than before and urged that the men
stay out father-than accept the so-
called "American plan" under which
the shipyards reopened after the
strike had been in progress many
weeks.
The officials said they proposed
that the men return to work under
the conditions prevailing September
30. just previous to the strike, after
which the unions would officially de
clare the strike off and that .a board
of six men le created, three from
each side, with jurisdiction over all
disputes, thus preventing strikes or
lockouts.
The California Metal Trades' asso
ciation replied, according to these
officials, that if the strike was de
clared off they would after two or
three months consider the question
of meeting the national officers for
the purpose of drawing up an agree
ment. This proposition the union
leaders declared was unsatisfactory.
