Tho blazo started from unknown cnuses while Mr. Dottroll was attending tho Shrlno party at tho Masonic temple. Insurance covered tho building, but tho furnlturo wns a total loss. According to Mr. Nixon, M. D. Enloo, proprietor ot tho Modern Garage, whero tho tiro truck Is kept could not bo reached by tolophono calls Bent In by peoplo living near the. Bottrcll house, for thirty minutes after tho flro broke out. After tho truck finally arrived, Mr. Nixon eays, tho hoso was found to bo too short and tho gnrago man wns ord ered to wait at tho sccno ot tho flro until more could bo procured. In stead of this, however, tho truck was driven back to tho garage, tho driver refusing to return to tho flro after Mr. Nixon had procured ISO feot moro hose. Another driver was found at Inst, tho poss'iblo spread of tho flro provented and tho truck was returned to tho garago nt 3 o'clock this morning. Sir. Enloo was Interviewed this morning and stated that ho had mado no agreement with the city to act as driver for tho truck, having refused to renew tho contract mado with Jl. H. Dcyariuond when tho .garage changed hands last spring . Ho de clared -that when he had gono out to tho flro last night ho had been instructed by Chief of Police Nlxen to remain until Night Officer Frank Culp appeared, and that ho had fol lowed his instructions. Afterward, ho said, ho had been called up by Mr. Kulp, who ordered him to bring tho truck back to tho Are. Ills question as to tho reason for tho order was answered In- an Insulting manner by tho officer, ho said, and because of this he refused (o mako the second trip.

The flddlcy Is a shnft that runs from the main deck of n ship to tho engine room. I looked nrnmni n bit anil saw n German standing not very far from the flddlcy, so I asked him If wo would bo given shoes. IIo said no. Then I asked him If wo had to fire In our faro feet and ho said yes that we did not need shoes. Then ho went Into the engine-room. I looked nt the narrow passage ho went through nnd nt tho narrow pas sago of tho flddlcy to tho main deck, and I talked to my feet like I used to' LIEUTENANT STOVER ARRIVES IN THE CITY Artillery Officer Discharged After Overseas Service Formerly with !Locnl Bank.

Also, by this tlmo somo of tho men hnd lost tholr lieiuln completely; In fact, hnd gono violently entity, nnd tho rest of us wero nfrrild of them. Wo wero nit thinking of the light tlmt might occur nny moment between tho Ynrrowilnlo nnd somo other vessel nnd we know wo wero III tho likeliest nlnw, for the vessel to bo struck. Even though we wero not hit amidships. If th ship wero sinking wo did not think tho Germans would give us u chnneo to escape. Wo figured from what they had Hald that wo would go down with tho ship. And going down on u ship In whtch you uro n prisoner Is qdlto dif ferent from going down with one for which you lmvo been righting. You arrive nt the snmo pluco, but tho feel ing Is different. Some of us thought of overpowering tho crow nnd tnklng tho vessel Into our own hands, nnd wo got tho rest of tho suno or nearly sane 'men together nud tried to get up n scheme for doing it. 1 wns Rtrong for tho plan nnd so wero several others, hut tho Limey of ficers who wero with m nd vised ngnlnst It. They said the Germans' wero. tnklng us to n neutral country, whero wo would bo Interned, which wns Just what tho Germans had told us, but what few of uh believed. Then somu others said Hint If we started anything tho Germans would lire tno time bombs. Wo replied thnt at least tho Germans would go west with us, but they could not seo thnt there wns nny glory in thnt. For my seir, i uiougnt tho Germans would not flro tho bombs until tho Inst minute, nnd thnt wo would hnvo n chnneo nt tho bonts before they got all of us nnywny. Thero wero only thirteen German sailors on board, besides their commander. This, last Hun was named Badewltx. So tho pacifist! ruled, because wu could not do anything unless w were nil together, nnd there wns no mutiny. They Bald we were hotheads, tho rest of us, but X still think wo could have made u dash for It nnd ovirnnwiril our sentries, nnd either gone over tho sldo with the lifeboats, or taken over tho whole ship. It would lmvo been better for us If we had tried, nud If tho pacifists had known what was coming to us they would lmvo flred tho time bombs themselves rnther than go on Into tlmt future. How ever, that Is fpllt milk. Wo were not allowed to opcotho portholes while wo were In tho hunk ers, under penalty of death, nnd there In tho dark, In thnt stinking nlr, It Is no wonde,r many of us went crazy. Among us wns n fellow named Har rington, nbout six feet tall nnd weigh ing 250 pounds. IIo seemed to bo nil right mentally, but somo of us thought afterward ho wns crazy. Anyway, I do not blame him for what ho did. Harrington rushed up tho flddley nnd opened the door. Thero wns n German sentry there, nm Har rington mado a swing at him and then BndowlU, who begun mauling lilm be fore tho sentry nven hnd told his story. After n while Uadowlts quit puuuumg tno cook, nntl listened to tho sentry. Then Bndewlts said tho cook had put n nolo. In thu dlxlo before ho dropped It, so they bent him up again and put him In Irons. After that they sent tho rest ot tho cooks back, nud would not let them on deck again. They had plenty of ennned goods nnd meat aboard, but they would nut gtvo us nny. Five of thu men worn Inirlixl nt urn that day, Moro men wero milnir mnil every minute, nnd It was n terrlblo pincu; pitch dnrk, grimy, loose conl underfoot, coal-dusty nlr to breathe, uody-lltth everywhere! Homo of tho crasy men howled like dugs. But wo wore not us much afraid of these ns wo wero of tho others who kept still, hut slipped n round In tho dark with lumps of conl In their hands. Wo got so wo would not go near each other for fear wo wcro running Into u crnsy man. Thoso of us who wcro anno collected ns near tho flddley ns wo could, nnd wo would not let tho others get near us, but shoved, them back or shied lumps of conl nt them. And every onco In n while somo ono of us would begin to net queer. May bo ho would let out n howl suddenly, without nny warning. Or ho would Just quit talking and begin to sneak around. Or ho would aauat down nnd begin to mumble. Wo could not tell SIX NEW FLU CASES REPORTED AT CAMP Total of 22 Now BcIiir Treated, Says J. D. Donovan DIseuM! Appears In No Other Part of County. Six now cases of Spanish Influenza were reported at Brooks-Scanlon logging camp, No. 1, by J. D. Dono van, director of tho Lumbermen's Hospital association. Tho total at the camp is now 22 and most ot thoso suffering from tho disease have an excellent chanco for recovery, Mr, Donovan states. No othor outbreak of influenza in tho city or county was reported. "Feet, Do Your Duty." at Dixmude. I said: "Feet, do your duty." They did It and I flew up tho flddley. I never wanted to see that stoke hole again. I sneaked up to where the rest of the fellows wero nnd tho iruards drilled us Into No. 4 hold. There wns nothing but ammunition In it They battened the hatches down on ui. which made tho hold waterproof. And as that mado It practically airtight tho only nlr the 580" of us got was through the ventilators. That hold was cer tainly foul. They next day come of the men had got cigarettes somewhere. In u few minutes, they as well as tho rest had lit up and wero puffing kwny in great stylo. I divided a cigarette with an other fellow. Beracmber, wo wero sit ting und standing on ammunition nil this time. It shows how much wo cared whether school kept or not The Germans saw tho sraoko com ing out of tho ventilators und they wero crazy with fright A gang of them laid below and rousted us out with whips. They lined us up on deck and read ns tho riot net They drilled us down into tho conl grabbed his baronet Tho sentry yelled and somo others camo down from the brldgo nnd shot Harrington through tho hand. After they had beaten Harrington pretty badly, tho bull of the bunch, Ilndewltz himself, camo over and hammered Harrington all around tho deck. Then they nut , him In Irons and took him to tho chart I Will. Tho next day wo were sitting In tho flddley getting warm when tho door J opened and there was Budcwltz, Ho 'yelled "HerauMl" und began Hrlng nt i us with n revolver, so wo beat It back onto tho coul. Pretty soon tho door opened ngnln. But It wns only a Ger man sentry. Ho throw down n note. It was written In English and read, "Pick out eight men for cooks." So wo picked out eight men from tho vn rlous vessels and they went on deck and rigged up u galley aft. But wo did not recelvo any knives, forks, spoons or nlutes. Tho first meal wo got was nothing but macaro ni, plied up on pieces of cardboard boxes. Then wo appointed four men to servo tho macaroni, nnd they got uur )m-i'i's ui woou, mo cicanesc wo could find, which was not very clean at mat, ana tliey dug around In tho macaroni und divided It up und put it in our hands. Wo had to eat It nftcr that from our grimy fingers. Thoso who wcro helped first had to go farthest back on tho coul to eat it, and thotio who wero helped lust got less, because tho dividers got moro careful toward the end nnd cava smaller portions. But wo did not get macaroni -very long. A cook from the Voltaire was cleaning a copper dlxlo thnt tho mac aroni had been cooked In, nnd ho was holding It over I ho sldo when tho ves sel rolled heavily, and dromx-d tho dlxlo Into (ho briny. A sentry who waw mm riron it forced lilm tin to Nono or Us Was Much Better Than a Dealt Just when n man hnd begun to loso his mind. He would seem Just llko tho rent of us, because nono of us was much bettor than n beast We coald not tnko turns sleeping and standing watch against tho crazy men, becnuso when we talked nbout it, wo agreed tlmt nono of us could tell whether or not Uio sentries would go crazy while on watch nnd hnvo tho rest of us at their mercy. It was aw ful to talk about going crazy In this way, nnd to flguro that you yourself might bo tho next.'nnd that It wns al most sure to happen If you did not get somo sleep soon. But It wns worso to And n man near you going, and hnvo to boot him nut with tho other Insntro men. . Tho days passed llko thnt, with nothing to do but suffer, and slarvo and freeze. It got colder nud colder, nnd all wo could wrap ourselves In wns the coal. Wo hegnn to Hpecnlato on where wo were. It wns not till later than an old skinner In our hunch told us that wu had rounded-tho north ern coast ot Iceland. Finally, ono day, n lad yelled down "Land!" and wo nil dovo for tho fld dley llko wild men, und thoso who could get near enough looked out, and suro enough! thero was the coast of Norway, very rugged nnd rocky nnd covered with suow. Wo thought It was all over then, and that we would bo landed ut Bergen sure. Then thero was tho umuuI runnliiL' around and yelling on deck, nnd wo wero not so suro wo would bo landed, nnd very suddenly it got colder than over. I wns In tho flddlcy, aching to get out, nnd ready for anything that might happen, when tho door opened suddenly nnd Ilndewltz grabbed me, and asked mo in English If I was u quartermaster. I nuld yes, und ho pulled mo by tho arm to u cabin. I did not know what was going to hap pen, but ho took an oilskin from tho wall and told me to put It on.

Tho consideration was not given, Mr, Todd plans to huva n lady attendant shortly td assist In tho work, scared, loo, because 1 TTiouglit maylio they wero going to throw mo over board, though what that had U do with being a quartermaster I could not Rce. But Oioy drilled mo up onto tho brldgo nud told mo to take (ho wheel, What their Idea wiih I do not knew, lWllily they wanted u iioncomlmtnut nt tho wheel In case they wero over hauled by n neutral vessel. Wo weru going full speed at thu time, but ns soon as 1 took tho wheel sho cut down to halt speed, nnd stayed that way for half ait hour. Then up to full speed ngnln. Pretty soon there was n tramp steamer on tho starboard how, und nl most before I saw It, therti weru two moro sentries on each Hide of me. prodding mo with their revolvers and warning ma to keep cm tho course They hnd civilian clothes on. Then wo went through tho Skager Back and Cuttcgat, which nro narrow strips of water leading to tho Baltic, nnd wo wero only u mile from shore witn vessels nlj nbout us. It would have been an ensy thing for mo to signal what our ship was and who wero aboard, but they hud six sentries on my neck all thu tlmo to keep mo from It. I never wanted to do any thing worso in my life than Jump overboard or signal. But 1 would hnvo been nhot down before I hnd moro, than started to do either, so I Just stayed with the wheel. Wo wcro nearlng one of tho Dan ish islands in thu Baltic when wo sighted n tug. Shu began to smoku up and blow her siren. Tho sailors got very oxcltoq nnd ran around In crnay style, and Budawits began shoutlug moru orders than they could get nwuy with. Tho sentries left mu nud run with tho rest ot tho Frltxles to thu boat deck urtd started to lower ono of tho lifeboats. But Badowltx was right on their heels and kicked tho whole bunch around In great shape, roaring llkn u bull ull, tho time. (To Bo Continued.)
