Spy Ring’s Fast Work That Sank Ship Near British Port Bared Yeteran Seaman Suspects Fifth Columnists Aided in Torpedoings Off U. S. " By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—A British seaman, four times listed as dead, told calmly today how several ships were torpedoed beneath him and how a fast-working spy ring caused one ship to be sent to the bottom only 30 miles out of a British port. “I wouldn't be a bit surprosed if |" some of the present torpedoings so close to your shores were due to fifth column work,” said Chief Steward Allan Harvie of the British merchant marine, adding that his Mediterranean - bound vessel was sunk by a U-boat shortly after leav- ing port because of the inadvertent words of a shipmate to his sweet- heart an hour before the vesssel saileds The parting took place in a pub, Mr. Harvie said, and the seaman, who died in the torpedoing, told the girl the ship’s name, cargo and des- tination. How Spies Worked Is Told. It later_turned out that the bar- maid overheard the farewell and re- marked that it was “a pity such young people” had to face such dangers. “The cashier passed the informa- tion on to a man in a nearby movie house,” Mr. Harvie related, “and he in turn phoned some one up the coast, who signaled a sub from a deserted part of the shore. Eighteen men died because of a slip of the tongue and a valuable war cargo was lost. They caught the spies, hough.” ; Mr% Harvie, who was 26 yesterday, returns to his Vancouver home to- day after four years' absence to await a new assignment. He sald that of the eight ammunition ships on which he had served in the war two had been torpedoed by U-boats. “I was officially dead for several days after each of those boats was blasted from under me,” he con- tinued. “On one, a 5300-tonner, the messroom steward and myself happened to be at the ice box on the top rear deck when the tin fish struck us. We were blown into the water with a free lifeboat on deck near us and were the only two men saved. We were in the small boat for five days before a destroyer saved us.” Served at Dunkerque. Mr. Harvie told how the other ammunition ship was sunk in a convoy lasts summer when sub- marines got several vessels, includ- ing one on which American Red Cross nurses lost their lives. He said he saw the British shell the French fleet at Oran and was on boats evacuating troops at Dun- kerque, Narvik, Crete and Greece. His narrowest escape in these operations, he recalled, occurred at Pireaus when a German bomb blew up an ammunition ship and wrecked the harbor and the boats in it. “We were 3 miles off,” Mr. Harvie said, “and were late because we al- tered our course due to reports that a submarine was sighted. As it turned out, there wasn’t any U-boat. We were lucky, for as far off as we were we felt the draught of the blast and our ship got a good rocking.” War Punishment Favored By Archbishop of York - By the Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. 22—The Arch- bishop of York, who is prominently mentioned as likely to be the next Archbishop of Canterbury, asserted today there should be punishment of the enemy for war crimes, but not in a spirit of vengeance. In a presidential address at the Convocation of York, he said: “The Prime Minister undoubtedly was right when he included retribu- tion among our war aims. * * * Yet when we applaud the purpose that Just retribution means vindication of moral principle, we must take care that this is indeed the end we seek. “It is easy to slide from the obli- gation to impose retribution into a desire to exact vengeance and this Is & naked evil. * * *” "Examinations Slated For School Positions ¢ Examinations to obtain a list of | ;eligibles for attendance officers, cen- | sus enumerators and child labor in- spectors in the white public schools | will be held February 13 at 8:45 a.m. .at Wilson Teachers’ College.
