Thirteen men were rescued from tbe slnktog Teasel by tbe Ley land line steamer Battonlan, bound from Manchester to Boston, and 11 by the German tank steamer Mannheim, Rotterdam for New York. Fiveothers who had been drawn down to the vor- rex into which the British King was engulfed were picked up by tbe Bos tonian from a frail bit of wreckage which they had grasped after a des perate struggle for life to tbe whir pool.

In the darkness the British K’ng, wh.cb was then waterlogged and helpless, pluoged to the bottom. For three days her captain and crew, working against uncoi qu rable odds, had tried to prevent, or at laast postpone, their ship's destruction. Barrels of oil and wreckage forming Into a powerful arm, were dr.ten down upon ber sides with c usbing force, opening up tbe vessel's plates and al towing the water to pour toto hir holda. The extent of tbe leak was not un deratood until the fjllowlrg day, how ever, and then, although all hands were placed at tbe pumps, the water gained considerably. The fins had been extinguish* 1 and the engines rendered useless by the rising water. The only r< mady at hand lay to jre palrlrg the damaged colons, and while personally superintending bts work, Capt. O’Hagan sustained a fractured leg and internal R Juries.
