11 DAYS,
SAVED BY LINER
Eleven Survivors of Aug-j

Nearly Starved at Sea
iB DAYS WITHOUT FOOD

siased and Believe Captain
1 and 13 Others Perished
Cast adrift on the open sea In a small
boat after a German submarine had
bombed and sunk their ship In mld
Atlantlo, eleven members of the crew of
the Norwegian steamship Augvald, who
were picked up eleven .days later, half
famished, by a liner, hae arrived at an
Atlantic port.
The sun-Ivors of the submarine vic
tim brought to port a harrowing tale of
the sea.
Hailed by the U-boat in mid-ocean on
the afternoon of June 23, the ship was
baited when a shot passed over her bow.
An officer and several sailors of the un
dersea boat boarded the vessel and Com
manded Captain Kgge and the crew of
twenty-seven to take to the boats.
Captain Kgge and thirteen members
left the ship in one boat, and have not
been heard from since. It Is believed
they perished.
The other fourteen members of the
ew put off In another lifeboat, and
three days later, durine r stnmv fh
boat was overturned and three of the
original fourteen drowned.
Food taken from the Auwald went
overboard with the occupants of the
capslred lifeboat, and for eight days
follc-wlng the eleven men who were able
to get back Into the boat drifted about
the sea, getting weaker from hunger and
thirst each day. Rainwater caught in
their hats was the only water the men
had during the eight days.
When the lifeboat was picked up by
the liner on Independence Day the men
were huddled In the bottom of the boat,
II hope for rescue gone. A few mem
bers were able to move about, but the
remainder were so weaWthat they were
virtually lifeless;. Under treatment on
the liner they rapidly recovered strength
and all were In good condition upon
their arrival here.
According to members of the crew
the Germans tide bombs to the ship's
ides, attaching time fuses, and a few
minutes after they had pulled away
from the ship an explosion occurred
which shattered the vessel.
The Augvald was formerly the steam
ship Alala and was built In Sunderland.
England. The vessel registered 3406
tons gross, 2098 tons net and was 340
feet long, ,4S feet beam and 1B.3 feet
depth of hold. Aktlss Augvald, of
Hagueeand, Norway, was the owner.

FIRE IN BELTING PLANT
' Blaze at Third and Market Streets
Damages Leather
Fire of unknown origin In the base
ment of the building of the Edward It.
Ladew & Co., leather belting manufac
turers, 14 South Third street, caused
considerable damage today.
Members of the office force discovered
the fire when they were forced to the
ntreet by dense olumes of smoke which
suddenly filled the office.
A'n alarm was given promptly, but
owing to the fact that several of the
downtown flre-flghtlng companies were
si me swiii nre, it was necessary for
distant companies to respond. They
quickly extinguished the blaze, conflglng
It to the basement.
An official of the company said sev
eral thousand dollars' worth of leather
inciting was htored in the basement but
the amount of damage could not be de
termined until stock had been examined.

MITCHEL'S BODY PASSES CITY
Funeral Party Not on Train With
Casket of Aviator
In a casket Inclosed In a plain white
pine rough box, draped In a large Amer
ican flag, with no floral emblems, the
body of Major John Purroy Mitchel,
former Mayor of New York, passed
through West Philadelphia early today,
en route to New York.
The body arrived In New York at 7:30
o clock this morning.
Major Mitchel, who was a member of
the American flying corps, fell to his
death from a height of 800 feet at

.Saturday morning.
He slipped from his seat In a one-
Hi-aieu scout macnine wnile making a
long nose dive. Major Mitchel was an
instructor for young tilers.
Kven the conductor ot the train car
rying the body did not know that the
plain white box in the baggage car car
ried the remains of the former Mayor

the aviator, was not on the train, so far
as could be learned, and neither was
the military escort from Lake Charles

Could Sol ReUraln Tears
'Mothers, sisters and sweetheartt had
stood for more than an hour awaiting
the saying of good-by, and cheerful faces
of persons pressing as near the confining
ropes as possible gave hint of gathering
tears.
A courageous effort to keep back the
tears passed wave-like through tho
throng, and a happy looking young
woman, wearing the uniform of the Na
tional League for Woman's Service, had
begun to say, "People certainly arc
brave about saying good-by to the
boys: they used to bo so different," when,
hn changing mood, tears that stood In
women's eyes began to descend. Also
with one accord handkerchiefs were ex
tracted from masculine pockets.
Few tears were shed by the boys who
aro lealng to do their bit oer thitre
It was nn eager crowd, and tho largest,
said the trainmen, that had left the
station at ono time
A tall boy, we.irlng the Jumper that
had been given him by the Kmergency
Aid and carrying a comfort kit. hod
dashed through the gate with his com
rades to ascend the train step when he
turned for a second lock at his home
folks. Quickly ho darted back and, peer
ing under the wide hat which covered a
blond, curly head, said, "Aw, what are
you crying about? Here, now, for
heaven's sake, don't cry. I'm coming
back."
A huge banner led the procession -of
Incoming Twenty-second district men. In
big black and red letters It held the
legend. "Oood-by, Phllly. Take care of
the folks at home."
Three mammoth flags followed, carried
In the hands of advancing draft men
with the reverence that spells devotion to
Uie Allies' cause.
When the big crowd fell back to give
place for the men who followed the flags
a shout of applause went up as the
words "We have 1276 men In camp" were
brought forward.
The band dispersed as the men entered
the station.
Farewells were the. order of the day.
Alt Claes Prenent
It was a valiant throng; one that Is
determined on sending forth men to vic
tory. There were mothers with stiawls '
over their heads and carrying babes;
Kray-halred women bent with toll:
women In silken gowns who had stepped
from their limousines long before the
boys arrived and waited In the crowds;
all had the same look of pride, earnest
withal and marked by the depth of
seriousness, bill
tragedy.
uroiners kissed each other on the
cheeks, cheerfully promising that tcry-
iiiuiK wouiu oo nil right.
It may have been a sister ind hmihr
who stood with arms entwined near tho
ironi oi me crowd, though with this
crowd their Identity mattered llnlo. If
Uhoy were lovers nobody marveled. The
crowa simply Faw and passed on,
, .iubi Dciore tne last man filed through
I the gates, as the first contingent mount
ed the train steps, one of the number
I stepped back and, with all hla heart In
his throat, sang a splendid song of fare
I well. The notes rolled richly through
. the throng of men and women, llaml.
kerchiefs paused en route to eyes that
were again welling over. And smiles
of tenderness were exchanged from one
mother with another. Simply and mod
estly as he had sung his song, tho young
man darted through a nearby gate and,
with two small boxes under his rm
and a comfort kit In the other, hurried
to his train as a shout from a thousand
throats went up.
Under the spell of his song, with the
music of his own heart soothing the
sadness of all the rest, the train pulled
out of the station. Arms waved out of
the windows, and hands reached through
the gates to wac back again.
But with the passing of the song and
tho departure nf the train, rose a sob
from many throats. Tears fell unheeded
and the arms of those younger or more
strong to bear, stole comfortingly around
the ones whose cross was heaviest
Daughters wiped the tears from mothers'
faces that had worn a smile as long as
son was there to see. And this throng
stepped back to give place to the mem
bers of other draft board followers who
came.
"Well, they're mighty brae when its
time to be brave," said a trainman. You
hardly ever see a woman give way to
tears as long as there's a man around
for her to cheer up. They neer cry till
the fellows are gone That's the "kind
of spirit that's going to win this war
It's a 'nevcr-say-dle spirit, I'm thinking."
