YOUNG OFVKER WITH BOTH EX
GIN'KKMt WRITEH HOME OF HIS
EXI'ERIKXCE IN THE RECENT
TERRIBLE DISASTER
The terrors' of the sinking ot the
Tuscanla are brought close home to
the people of Klamath Falls In a let
ter just received by Mrs. D. W. "Pat"
Parker frosa her husband, who was
one of the survivors.
No sign of the submarine was ob
served by anyone on bosrd, imd It
was Just before dark on the night be
fore they were to lend, the boys were
congratulatlng-themselves on the fact
they bad crossed the ocean In safety,
when the toraedo smssbed Into the
side of the aalp.
Instantly the lights on the boat
went out and the men were summon
ed to their stations on deck by mega
phone orders, of the ofgeers. Parker,
.who U.a.ssaVad lieutenant la the
Tweatleth Engineers, soon found him
self In a leaky lifeboat with thirty-
nine otbera in too freeslag cold. He
says be thought about tbe folks at
home In Klamath while getting Into
the boat, and wondered what they
were doing about that time.
After being tossed around by tbe
waves for sis hours, the boat was
picked up by a small steamer and the
passenker were Isnded on tbe Irish
coast eight hours later.
The unusually fine reception and
treatment given them by the Irish
people during their stay there is
dwelt upon by Lieutenant Parker
with great emphasis, and It Is evident
that tbe kind acts performed for the
worn-out men will live long la their
memories.
