'BILLY' CARRIES COALS
TO NEWCASTLE AS HE
SERMONIZES AT SHORE
Correspondent Finds Sunday's
Audience at Ocean Grove "Cur
iously Mild-Looking"; Not
Sinners, Don't Need Saving
NO DEVILS THERE
OCIJAN Q HOVE, Sept. 1. Dally tho gale
of "Billy's" fierce eloquence sweeps over
tho vast audience In the tnbernacle, creat
ing scarce a rlpplo In that placid sea. A
curiously mlld-looklng set nre theso Ocean
Grove alnncra, whom tho Indefatigable Wil
liam has pledged himself to savol Seeking
devils hero Is like looking for wolves among
a flock of sheep. A fow flowing veils and
bright sweaters fleck tho crowd marking
tho frivolous summer girl, but for the most
part It Is made up of bent, bright-eyed, llttlo
old ladlca; of old men, tho kind soldom seen
except outside of a rurnl comedy, whose
greatest dissipation Is the weekly stocking
bag; of patient, stout, middle age a gather
ing frosted with snow.
Denied by tho strictness of their bollefs
the thrills of vaudeville, thoy aro frankly
delighted with "Body's" nttempts to amuse
them Indeed, the first part of the evening
la all comedy. The expoatulatlvc and apolo
getic ushers, the personal workers purvey
ing "Billy" Sunday hymnbooks all lend n
holiday air to tho proceedings. They chuckle
over 'The Brewer's Big Horses" nnd sing
with a whole-hearted abandon till nil tho
corners nro brightened, nay, burnished.
Even tho caustic admonitions rcgnrdtng
tho collection plate put no damper upon their
spirits. Beaming, radiating good humor,
they turn cxpcctnnt faces toward the pulpit.
Into this radiant ntmosphero of good humor
catapaults "Billy." all tho sinister figures
of tragedy behind him. Now the nlr Is
seared, Bcorched and breathless, relieved by
an occasional rlpplo of laughter, but soon re
turning to Its sulphurous density. Tense,
thrilled, spellbound, that unworldly flock
drinks It in ; takes to It as wo Co Hamlet.
"Sit there, you servants of tho devil !"
cries Billy threateningly. Abashed, shaken
by delicious discomfort, they sit. A bent old
man In the front row leans forward, hla car
cupped In his hnnd, his eyes snapping to
hear "that the vermin creep forth at night
and all the demons of the pit hold high car
nival I" For the good aro over curious and
tho bad ever interesting, nnd the bad as de
pleted by Mr. Sunday would make the devil
himself tremble
Tho granlto-faccd elders, tho keen-eyed,
bewhlskered and bespectacled preacher, la
"Billy's" goat. Ills Adam's applo rises and
falls conclusively behind the four sizes too
stiff collar as "Billy" relentlessly bears
down upon him. He wishes now that he
had not accepted that platform seat, and
casts apprehensive glances behind him as
tho boards shako under "Billy's" fervor, as
lie thunders:
"ou can't put It ovor on God I"
And yet, on the whole. Ocean Grove Is not
displeased with "Billy" Sunday. Warmed
by the comedy, thrilled by tho tragedy, be
wildered by their newly acquired wicked
ness, these good people go solemnly homo to
talk It over In a pleasant state of mental
excitement. It Is the nearest thing to a
worldly experience that many of them will
ever get
But, nevertheless. Ocean Grove Is aroused,
and will be saved. B. P. T.

CARLISLE, Pa., Sept, 1. -"Getaway"
Day at the forty-third annual Grangers'
picnic at Williams Grove was marked by
a rush of exhibitors to strike their tents
and get their equipment on cars and to
their home towns or other fairs before the
threatened railroad strike goes Into effect
Monday, To thia fact was ascribed by
officials the early closing of the picnic,
which usually runs over Into Saturday.

THE PR 1 VATF. WAR"
1 BY IOUIS JOSEPH VANCE
Cir,rn:rt XXII .(Continued).
THEY produced an effect whose counter
part I had never befora Imagined some
thing nlmost theatrical, as t set scene on a
stage, Inclosing that little spaco, of water,
perhaps two square miles In extent, wherein
this deadly combat was being wnged
Tho Mynsotla was not In sight: only tho
Asp, the Vistula and tho Clymene occupied
the stage.
Tho two destroyers rode somowhat astern,
approximately half a mile o port, with pos
sibly n llko distance between them, Both
were wrapped With smoke as with shrouds,
through which little, spiteful tongues of
flamo spat Without Intermission The thun
der of their quick nnd rapid firing 12
pounders waa like tho long roll beaten upon
somo inonstor drumhead, while the racket
of the 3 and G pounders, a shrill, chattering
undertone, llko a regiment of Bnnre drums
tn full blare. A horrid tumult of warlike
sound, nnd one to stir tho blood, It waa that
drifted donn to ua with tho penetrating
reck of burnt smokeless powder.
Of neither could we see overmuch ; al
though the more distant, the Asp, was the
more distinctly visible; nnd from a leaping
nnd dying glaro of light amldshlpa oil her
decks, I fancied her afire. The Vistula waa
sheering grudunlly away, either In order to
continue the cngngement at a more respect
ful distance, or to close In upon us nnd nil
minister a coupe do grace with less annoy
anco from the withering English rlilo
practice.
But the Asp wn3 pressing on bulldogged
ly, with tho nvld British appetite for hand
grips. And so they bore down upon tho
Clymene steadily, nt quarter speed, growling
and spitting for all the world like cinbnttled
cnts absurd ns tho simile may rscem.
Then, without warning, out of tho west
u furious shower swept hissing, nnd for a
llttlo while Its shining battalions of lances
hid tho combatants from lis ns with n
curtain.
Tho rain pelted on, nnd over the Clymene,
sluicing her decks with a swirling torrent,
and so out to tho east. Wo were scarcely
conscious of Its passago : weary, sodden to
the skin, a prey of terrors no less fantnstlo
than this wotrd sen fight Itself, wo forgot
ourselves and our painful fatigue and hung
breathless upon the lasuo of tho battle.
I fancied how truly I waa not to know
for mnny long , dnys that Mio Asp was
getting tho worst of It ; nnd that Impression
seemed to communicate Itself simultaneously
to every Englishman and English-speaking
man In tho crew. Despite that wo had In
tho Asp a foo scarcely less to bo feared than
the German dostroyer, "our sympathies went
out to the mon of our own blood and
race
I heard nn oath behind me, followed by
a Bharp cry of command. It was Garvin's
voice. Instinctively I stopped back from
tho rail, dragging Sovrance with me. The
next moment tho 12-pounder belched fire
by our Bides, ItB naming breath Seared our
checkB, Its detonation all but deafened us.
Garvin had lost control of himself; his
mndness Infected tho remainder of the crow ;
tho men of the forward 12-pounder set to
work llko demons, An Incessant stream of
projectiles belched from the muzzles of tho
two guns.
Tho effect of this diversion was at once
apparent. The Germans awoke to tho fact
that, though Incapable of (light, tho Cly
mene had not lost Its sting nnd was still a
factor in the engagement. I saw a huge
hole appear battered by our guns In tho
thin flanks of the German destroyer Just
nbove the water line. She slewed about, aa
It fairly hammered from her course by the
weight of thoso repeated blows.
And at onco a return fire was instituted,
with consequences awful to us. At that
Bhort range they could hardly miss. Tho
forward 12-pounder was silenced In a trice
fairly blown out of tho deck and half
Its crew mangled beyond recognition. Our
remaining boat was shot to splinters. The
after smokestack crumpled In upon Itself
like a tin funnel struck by a brick; tho
bridge was reduced to a tangle of twisted
Iron rods, the binnacle and wheel mysteri
ously vanlahlng none could say how or
whither.
On tho aftcrdeck tho crews of the torpedo
tube woro struggling madly with an ob
stinate Whitehead, Somehow It seemed to
stick In tho tubo; nor wero they for many
minutes able to budgo It. Garvin raged llko
a lunatic. They wrestled with It llko so
many Imps fresh sprung from Inferno. Two
were killed simultaneously and by the same
shot. Servranco and I sprang to fill their
plnces, lending our nwkwardnesa to the
bathing task.
A gradual slanting of the deck told us
though we 8carce noticed It, nor cared
that the Clymene had been struck below
tho water lino and was slowly filling, sink
ing by tho head. I heard Scvrance mutter
ing some prayer about water-tight compart
ments as he struggled with the refractory
torpedo.
But no one else commented ; we bent our
sole endeavors, one and all, to the task of
revenging ourselves and our countrymen
upon the heads of the Germans.
And still the Whitehead Btuck ; the thing
obstinately refused to yield to the utmost
of our striving : we might neither withdraw
It nor yet ram It Into place.
A solid shot smashed the after 12-pounder

Into flinders. Those remaining of Its crew
followed the example set by the men who
had served the forward heavy rapid-fire gun
and sprang to the 6-pounders. The stac
cato chattering of these was llko the patter
of heavy hall upon n tin roof, Sharp and
loud against the background of Infernal din.
But of these, one waa almost Immediately
put out of action j Its brother talked on for
a little space, then, In Its turn, became mute.
Wo found ourselves fighting that torpedo
ns though It, In Itself, tangibly represented
our foca aboatd tho Vistula, My memory
of It Is like a nlghtmare a never-ending,
henrtbreaklng struggle with the lmmovnblo
demoniac, gigantic Inborlnga without rea
son or effect.
Abruptly the thing gave way, sliding
smoothly Into tho tubo aa though such had
been Its ultimate purpose and Intent from
the beginning. We yelped feebly at It and
leaped aside. Somebody standing Immedi
ately In front of me was suddenly crushed
Into n shapeless mass
A shower of red liquid drenched mc It
seemed ns nothing an Inconsiderable de
tnll. I wiped the blood from my eyes and
brows with tho back of a hand nnd turned
to view tho dcok.
It was nlmost tenantlcss, save for tho
huddled heaps of soiled and wot clothing
that had been men. I saw one or two stir
feebly. Another raised- himself upon his
hands and dragged himself with Intolerable
effort nnd ngony his lower llmba pnrnlyzed
over to tho ccuppera, that still swam with
rain water, wht.ro he fell upon hla breast
nnd drank greedily. A thin film of crimson
seemed to cover tho slanting deck.
Something struck the ship an irreslstlblo
blow near tho bows. She gave to It, cry
ing out in evciy Joint like a tortured animal.
Garvin cursed hla lurj, knelt ngaln, and
galn ndjusted the torpedo director.
Tho Vistula I turned loomed like a hell
ship, fairly enwrnpped with leaping fire. So
near was sho now that I could seo her mon
scrambling about tho deck, black Bllhouettea
appearing nnd disappearing against tho In
cessant flashes llko shadows In a shadow
show.
She, too, had suffered. I saw that two of
her four funnola were gone, the hole In her
gray flanks gaping largQr; Bhe reeled llko
a drunkard.
It became apparent that tho Asp possi

lay fully a mllo to port. The thought camo
to mo that perhaps she had drawn off with
the intention of torpedoing tho German.
However this waa will never bo known.
The Becret of that conflict until this moment
lies smothered with secrecy nnd red tape In
the admiralty cfllccs; tho English side of It
will never be told nor tho German, for
that matter.
Faintly, ns If from n dlstnncc, I heard the
dry, hacking bnrk of the Whitehead tubo at
my side. Gnrvln had given the word.
I fancied that tho torpedo took tho water

cagor and bloodthirsty. 'Wo all what
number thero were left of us clustered
at the rail, gasping with hope.
The seconds dragged, seemingly Intermin

sank. I heard a furious screaming behind
me, and, half turning, beheld the appari

tho slippery decks, leaping, Jumping, slid

His face fairly blazed with the ghastly
pallor of panic fear; his eyes bulged like
door knobs; hla mouth worked spasmodtc

us, leaped to the rail. Joined his hands as

In that flcotlng Instant I found time to
recognize him, to recall his distorted fea

Abruptly a sheet of livid flame rose,
flaring from tho Vistula to tho zenith. A
crashing as of a thousand thunderbolts
shook the firmament; u geyser of foaming
water, spreading out fnnwlse at its top,
rose to an Incredible height; In It, the con

poised for an appreciable moment, to Bpllt

of her deck fittings rocketing skyward.
The light died at once and without a
flicker. Intense darkness reigned over the
waters, and with a start I recognized that

And In a breath I was fathoms deep In
tcy Inky waters, drawn downward by the
maelstrom of the sinking ship as by a
strong hand.
I realized the fact but barely. Already
my lungs wero partly filled with water. I
have a faint recollection of struggling a
little without hope, of beating against the

Liquid fire seemed to be calcining my

Gradually a faint warmth diffused Itself

suffering. Without consciousness or com

such a. pass or where I lay, yet by some
strange subliminal action I flguratlvely
Btood aside and noted the process of my
recovery.
My feet nnd legs, hands nnd arms felt
aa though pricked by a million white-hot
needles; my heart labored mightily, aching
as though it threatened to burst: a terrlflo
ringing, as of an mnnlte concourse of
church bells, sounded In my ears; my head
swam nnd ached : my lungs moved un

teeth ; a great, resonant sound vibrated
through me I moaned nnd shook my head
In enfeebled protest. Why could they not
let me die? My eyes opened mechanically.
I caught a transient gltmpso of nn un
earthly acene, lit by a dazzling glare of
light.
Against n dense background of unbe
lievable blackness, a number of figures of
men stood out as sharply as so many statues
exhibited against n curtain of black velvet.
Far, far above their heads a tiny light glim
mered, swinging erratically. It held my
gazo for a moment, until a clearer con
sciousness returned to me, when again I
looked about.
My first definite recognition was of Von
Holzborn. It seemed that tho dead glare
of tils lusterlcss cyea was tho first Im
pression I received upon recovering par
tially my consciousness.
I seemed drawn by them, quite fascinated,
nnd stared back, look for look, but half
awaro and wholly lndljtrrcnt to that ha
bitual. Intolerant sneer that curled In the
lines about his full, cruel lips.
Ho stood squarely facing me, leaning a
bit forward, hands clasped behind his back,
a long, frogged overcoat falling In straight
folds from his broad shoulders to his knees.
Behind him glowed tho lighted window of
n deckhouse: his shadow fell nthwart me,
cold and black.,
The profound, brooding, enigmatic regard
that he bent tpon me Bet my poor, be
wildered wits uwHJrl. A violent storm
of rago seethed within me, for all that I
lay there helpless. Inert, flaccid limp as
a Jellyfish no more able to move than
to fly. Yet I longed consumedly to get at
him, hungering for his life, torn by a
maddening desire to rise nnd take htm In
my two hands and savagely to rend him
limb from limb,
And the greatness of my rage sapped
every other faculty. I felt myself sinking,
slipping away from sentience, sliding back
Into n darkness an cold and forbidding as
the Bhadow of him who towered above
mo whoso shadow. I thought, forever was
to fall athwart my life and destiny.
My last thought was of him ere I lapsed
Into the long sleep that held me dreamless
for many, many hours.
I awoke confused, conscious of Btlffness
and n cramped feeling In my llmba. It
waa barely daylight ; jibove my head a
faint glimmer filtered through the bullseye

having been picked up by one- bf th yacht's

of the Clymene'a wreckage.
For a long while I lay there without

coherent fragments bf my memory of tit
last day's events, which rose to the surfae
of my consciousness as driftwood rises tV
tho surface of a river,
Bit by bit It came back tor roe. The
continuous story of that Incredible day
played Itself over again before" mjf mental
vision. In retrospect It seemed Outrageous
and Improbable: and, from the languor
that possessed me, and the feeling of
wenkness, together with n certain and
qulto Indefinable sensation of giddy

bound with bandages that were stiff nhd

been wounded how severely I could not

After some time I lifted up my Voice
and called and the strength of rny accents
contrasted with my physical sensations,
which I may only describe aa making mo
feet as though emaciated both bodily and
mentally, was a surprise to me.
But I received no answer,
I could hear tho chug-chug-chug of the
engines In tho yacht's hold, and the smack
and hisa of the waters outside the porthole.
Overhead, from time to time, would come
the clatter of hurrying feet; and once I
henrd a long-drawn howl of command,
hoarse and deep-throated, as one of the

In time there came from the apartment

I estimated, since now the light was dying

I had noticed abovo my head an electrlo

I reached up and turned the key. Radiance
flooded the room and enabled me to dis
