When your Children Cry CHAPTER XIX—PART I The first real rescue in which I par- ticipated was when I was master of the President Roosevelt. The vessel was bound from New York by way of Channel ports for Bremen. The S O S call from the British freighter Antinoe THE FEVENTNG STAR. WASHINGTON. D. C.” MONDAY. MARCH 18, 1929. “My Thirty Year My chief radio operator, Mr. Upton, was stationed at the radio compas getting a bearing of the Antinoe every 15 minutes. These bearings indicated | that her position was about 50 miles lin error. Following the course of this | o= | | | 1arge ice box had been carried from its | regular place and in some way jammed | the steering apparatus, | "1 asked the Antinoe's master if he | | wished to abandon his ship, how many | | were in_the crew, and if they had life | belts. He answered that he wanted to | be given a little time, as they were en- deavoring to secure No. 3 hatch and | repair the steering gear. They were | having difficulty in keeping the steam up because water was entering the fire | room. The cargo of grain had shifted | | to starboard, but the captain hoped to | | keep afloat until the weather moderated. | ""The President Roosevelt stood by. Fuel oil was pumped overboard to calm | the seas, at the rate of about three tons | an hour. Maintaining a position about | 400 yards to windward, the results were | very satisfactory.

Her warning lights | were extinguished and her radio be- came silent, Several hours later the | weather again moderated. Attempts to communicate with her by wireless | failed, and as visibility increased it was | apparent we had lost her. I did not | know whether she had gone down with all hands or whether she was drifting | helplessly without steam and no means | of communication.

We took a position this time 200 yards on her port beam, and again | pumped fuel oil overboard. which undoubtedly were slippery be= cause of the oil. The master at arms, Wirtanen, seemed to have taken hold of a line on ihe stern of the boat and it appeared to me that he was trying to drift the boat and steer it with his powerful | body toward the Antinoe. He got within | about 50 feet of the disabled ship, and then left the boat to swim the short distance. But he missed the life line thrown to him and was. carried away. That was the last seen of him. ‘The other man, Boatswain's Mate | Heitmann, probably was knocked un- | conscious against the side of the ship | and he disappeared. It was dark now, visibility was poor and the storm was | increasing in intensity. We used the searchlight to see if we could find the | lost men, but we could get no trace of | them. We found the lifeboat and got directly alongside of it, but there was, no trace of any one in or near the boat. | I continued the search for some time, but finally had to abandon it as it was hopeless. 1 maneuvered back again in view of the Antinoe so as not to lose sight of her. She was lying dead in the water. Again we took a position to the windward and once more pumped oil over the water.
