Here are some particulars j ?aling with the plucky deeds per >rmed by officers and men belonging > all branches of the sea services, aval and mercantile. The first case is that of a passenger :*amer which had been torpedoed on Monday, without warning, as usual, * ? or^A .n 1 ? ? v I I tlie Atiannc, O?U Hints uum muu. I he chief officer took charge of No. I lifeboat, which had on board 31 per- 'j ms, including two women and a baby ' >ur months old. j Bad weather prevailed all that day nil throughout the night, increasing le plight of the miserable people. Pro- ! isions, too, were scarce, but what exited was taken charge of by the chief [Ficer, who doled out half a dipper mlf-pint) of water to each person ight and morning. They had beon barely twenty-four ours in the boat when the horrors of le situation were added to by inadoss. On the Tuesday the cook lost 3 - ? n AC/1 O TT O is reason, ituu uu mc >? tuucsuu^ ied. That night witnessed the insany of the storekeeper, who had to ,b? jshed dowr- On Thursday he too ied. On Friday an A. B. expired. Water Begins to Get Low. The water was now beginning to ive out and the boat's company sufsred from intense thirst./ A fireman was found dead in the ottorn of the boat on Saturday mornlg, and the third-class pantry boy ied during the day. On Sunday the cattleman tried to ump overboard three times, and sue- eeded at the fourth attempt. The surivors were in too feeble a state to .-.T'a him ?it-hnn<rh thev turned the oat round and searched for him. The rater gave out on Sunday. There were occasional showers of ain, but everything was saturated nth salt, and the little water they got ras undrinkable. They licked the woodwork, hoping to gather up the aindrops Then the$ broke up the water keg. tnd licked the inside, which they found ;aturated with moisture, and delicious. U 3 p. m. on Monday land v^as sighted, )Ut it was a long way off, and by the ime they drew near darkness and a leavy northerly swell made a landing mpOSSlDlO.

At daylight on Tuesday they were >ighted by a couple of fishing boats, vhich towed them into port. The baby iveri for some time after being landed. The linen keeper died as he was being ifted from the boat. Two of the crew efused to leave tbe boat, having gonQ nad. A trimmer died from gangrene ;wo weeks later. The chief officer remarked: "I would ike to testify to rhe excellent behavior if tbe boat's crew throughout our period of eight days' hardship and exposure." The second case'-deals with a Britsh oil ship which bad been torpedoed without warning. The torpedo struck t between the two forward thinks, and t was burning furiously. Its engines ,vere still running, because it had been rapossible to reach the engine room ifter the explosion on account of the lieat. Visible for iuilos through the larkness. it looked like some fiery penT;int Ann? across the face of the nisht. Ml the holds had caught and a continuous stream of oil kept feeding the ire. Crouched up in the peak, which was lie only part not yet alight, were about hirtv Chinese, all who remained of Lhe crew. Death by fire or by water >vas only a matter of lime; that seemed .0 be a certainty. Sighted by Patrol Beat, r"' * -i- -- 3 .

He ran his vessel close past the oiljr's stem and as she passed rafts lifex?iits and lifebuoys were pitched overward by the crew of the patrol ship, flie Chinese wen- told to jump over loard. This was repeated throe times. By that ti?ne all boats bad been lowered to pic!: up the men in the water. There now r? mained nirn* men in the filer's peak, but there was no more lifesaving apparatus <>n board the patrol vessel.
