Headquarters Eighteenth
U. S. Infantry,
France, April 23, 1918.
Dr. J. H. David,
Dillon, S. C.
My dear Dr. David:
Your son, Lieutenant David, was
killed on March 1st, while com .Handing
a platoon of this regiment..
At a particularly critical time,
your son had been selected and sent
to command this platoon, which was
not his own, but which required the
services of a particularly good officer
at that time. Lieutenant David
was killed leading his platoon in a
desparate combat with * German
storm troops, a combat which ended
successfully for his command.
I have the honor to inform- you
that had your son lived through
this engagement, it was my intention
to recommend him for a captaincy,
as his record in this regiment was of
the best.
His death was worthy of the best

VICTIMS OF SUBMARINES.
uffered Many Hardships After Beirur
Adrift for Hnnn
Nineteen survivors and the crew
r the submarined steamship Caronu
were landed at Lewes, Del.,
uesday and brought a harrowing
tie of the seas, the news of the loss
r sixteen of their number and a relarkable
rescue of a girl while they
rifted helpless on the ocean during
severe thunder storm Sunday
ight.
Ten boats left the Carolina before
le was sunk by the German subarine
U-37. All passed through the
ime storm and the survivors at Lew
5 said they felt sure all were lost
hey expressed great joy when in>rmed
that most of the Carolina's
imp&ny had been saved.
The 19 persons landed at Lewes
ere brought in by a British vessel
tat picked them up more than 25
iles off the Deleware capes.
Acording to the survivors the Carina
was warned late Sunday afterson
by wireless to look out for subarines.
The steamer was advised
tat a three-masted schooner had
1st been sunk anrt w?s caiitlnned
it to 8how lights. At 6 o'clock Sun- i
ly evening a submarine appeared I
>ove the surface close tp the Caro- |
na. She was about 350 feet long,
irvivors said and later was identied
as the U-37.
The submarine signaled something
hich our captain could not make
it" said the survivor, "and then the I
-boat raised the German flag. We
ere ordered to heave to and the
iptain fearing that the submarine
ould shell the steamer if he did not
ley the order, signaled the engineer
i reverse the engines and stop.
"A German officer with an armed
jard came alongside and gave or
srs to our captain to lower all boats j
id leave the ship in twenty, minutes. |
f course it would be useless to say
tat none of us was frightened, for!
tere were more than 300 on a ship j
tout to be sunk there must be i
>me timid ones.' Good order was'
mintained, however. The sea wasj
nooth and there appeared to be no;
ew elements of danger.
"Nobody thought of a storm and<
le German officer appeared to show j
innidprntinn fr? tho naaaoniroru tra !
J "O
ley hurried to leave the steamer. In i
oing through the steamer the Ger-1
inns found a fireman who had been:
ft behind and he ordered a lifeboat i
> return for him.
"When this last boat was clear]
le Germans shelled the Carolina;
fven times. The she burst into)
nines, sinking slowly.
"After we had drifted for I do not'
now how long there were faint!
ashes of lightning on the horizon!
nd later when the puffy wind began !
? strengthen we instictively knew!
tere was trouble ahead.
"The storm came quicker than we (
ipected it. The wind blew like a j
lie and picked up a nasty sea. The |
jata pitched and soon became separ- |
ed. We, who were in a motor |
unch, seemed to be alone in the|
orm. Rougher and rougher became

: the thirty-five in her were thrown!
to the sea. She was righted and'
tpsized again while we clung to
?r. This occurred several times. The1
orm passed and the sea began to j
ilin. It was pitch dark.
"Finally we kept the launch right-j
I but she was full of water. "We
ung to her and bailed out the wat'
with our hands. Some could not

t go their hold and sank. It was
rrible. We baHed out enough water
i let one of us in. Then he bailed
iriously and enough water was
ooped out to permit a second to

the weight of a third mad fourth.
"Wo kept thia up all night. Whoa y
the last was hoi pod over the side wo .<
Found that there wore but nineteen . <
of us. 81xteen had goae.
"With the coming of daylight the
hopes of the survivors rose with the
sua. The sea had calmed, hut daylight
revealed nothing but the broad
expanse of the Atlantic. All hands
came to the conclusion that none of
the other boats had safely come
through the storm and that all in
mem muai nave perished.
"After awhile an object was seen
In the water. There was no way to
reach it, as the launch had lest her
gasoline and oars. The launch, however,
drifted close and the survivors
were startled to discover a girl alive
clinging to the bodies of two drowned
men. The bodies were incased in life
belts, but the girl wore none. She
appeared to be a good swimmer and
with her-own efforts and clinging to
the two bodies for support she managed
to remain afloat. The launch
got near enough to her to effect her
rescue and she proved to be Elona
Donato Vlnola, of Porto Rico. She 1b
one of the tw?~ women landed. She
was one of tl" .? in the launch and
became separated from it when it
capsised. The identity of the two
dead men is not known. Their bodies
were left in the launch and continued
to drift until Monday afternoon
when it was picked up by the
British vessel." ?
