MEMPHIS Albert Wagner Sends Home Re- port of Catastrophe Police Officer and Mrs. Tred Wagner, of 210 Glen street have roceived a long letter from their son, Aibert, Who was a member of the crew of the U. S. §. Memphis, wrecked at Santo Domingo harbor, in which he tells at length of the disaster. The local saiior writes in part as follows: Small Boat Capsizes. “We were laying about 750 vards out and we had a liberty parly (a rec- just sailor) reation party) ashore and had ‘kicker’ (or ashore to get the recreati»n party when a sudden tropical storm came up. We took down all awnivgs and put in the gun shutters. We were having a hard time and big six inch shells that had got loose were rolling around the decks under and over our feet as we worked, when we sighted the ‘kicker’ coming out of the river with a boatload of our shipmates. The little boat rode the first swell all right, but the second comber broke over it and then all we could see was a line of heads bobbing up and down in the green water. “The gunboat Castine, which had her propellers going astern at full speed without making any progress, turned to full speed ahead when the ‘kicker’ capsized in a vain attempt to save our mates. She threw all her life buoys over and lost all her lifeboats, but could save no one. Finally her steering gear broke and the boat had to turn to the open sea and be steered by the propellers. “To give an idea of the severity of the storm and the size of the waves. Every time the firemen down in the hold of the Memphis lighted the fires, big waves would roll over the ship, forcing water down the smoke stacks and drowning the fires. - The practice had been to keep No. 1 fire going all the time and to light the others only for emergency or when we wanted to No. 1 boiler was only sufficient to turn the engines over, so it was impossible to get under headway. sent a motor Ship Goes on the Rocks. “In the meantime we drifted toward shore and struck a rock which bent the scalding, escaping steam killing two and badly burning several others six of whom later died. The rest were and broke the main steam line, " Announcement!

All of the sailors attended the services and | marched down to the dock with the | bodies, the band playing the mourn- ful funeral dirge. The chaplain read | the service. As the bodies were low- | ered into a waiting barge to be taken to the Solace, a squad of men fired | three shots as a salute and the ship's | bugler sounded taps, “The Memphis went aground about 100 yards from shore and every swell carrled us in a'little and tipped her | over a little mor It was not until we had been washed in to about forty yards from shore that the old boat stuck fast, and then it was held there Dby two big pinnacle rocks, puncturing the bottom and going up through the sides of the vessel. When we finally succeeded in getting a flve-inch line ashore reverybody gave a big cheer of relief, even the natives. The marines did excellent work for us and the natives did too, getting us hot coffee and whiskey and all the cab drivers in the place were on hand to take the sick or injured to the hospital and others to the fort. Here is what the wreck did: Bight killed in the en- gineering force; thirty drowned from the little launch; five washed over- board from the Memphis and drowned and a number badly scalded and some may not live. Bryan Swims 5 Miles. The little steamer and “kicker’ that was tied to a boom alongside the Memphis when the storm broke had to put right out to sea with its full crew, nine men all told. Young Har- ris Bryan of New Britaln among them. Four of the men saved them- selves by swimming ashore. Only the more husky men could do this as is was a five-mile swim. Young Bryan was one of this number and he was picked Up on the beach some distance up the coast and carried into the fort by a friendly native. He was badly battered by the sea and rocks and his head was cut and one arm badly bruised. He has been sent baclk to the States on the Solace. Becker was saved without a scratch and so was Tom. Our admiral was on shore when the storm broke and when he saw his ship drifting towards the It’s Wonderful How Resinol Stops Itching To those who have endured for years the itching torments of eczema or other such skin-eruptions, the relief that the first use of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Boap usually gives is incredible. ~ After all the suffering they have endured and all the use- less treatments they have spent good money for, they cannot believe anything so simple, mild and inexpen- sive can stop the itching and burning INSTANTLY! And they find it still more wonderful that the improvement is_permanent and that Resinol really drives away the eruption completely in a very short time. Perhaps there is a pleasant surprise like this in store for You. Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap are sold by all druggists.

There were some exciting scenes along the shore and the marines say that the natives, always high strung and nerv- ous, went into hysterice and began to cry and tear their hair when they saw the ship founder. “Other New Britain boys on the boat send word that they are aill right.” SLATER | New York, Boston, Provi- | Have opened the Largest Shoe Store in Connecticut at 843-545 Main Street, | Hartford, Everybody Is Slater’s Great Carnival. | A Colossal Shee Sale I The Greatest We Have Ever Held.
