They had just attended a simple sabbath service especially held for them by their friend the padre, the Rev. Donald Grant, in the cottage of the village schoolmistress, Mrs. Isabelle MacIntyre, who had per- sonally cared for seven of the twenty survivors who reached the island, and who with Mrs. Grant, the padre's wife, were regarded by the men as second mothers. One of the five, Private Earl Gar- ver of Cincinnati, owed his life to Mrs. Grant who worked for five hours over him before he revived, and who was fighting to save Private Willlam Coney of Augusta, Ga., critically ill with pneumonia. For years Mrs. Grant was the assistant matron of a ' big hospltal In Glasgow and Dr. Hugh MclIntyre of Bridgend, who treated all the Otranto survivors, regards her as one of the most skilful nurses in Scotland. | Big Sergeant C. A. McDonald of Galesburg, Ill., was visibly affected over the handshaking, and he said to the Associated Press representa- n\e\ as they drove away to Bridgend, t's almost as bad as it was to save home.” | But neither McDonald nor any of his companions realized the extent of the sacrifice those two women had made for the American boys, or that of other of the islanders including a warmhearted shepherd named Mc- Phee whose two sons, Ronald and John, rescued five men and took four of them to their home. In order to provide for their guests, the Grants Mrs. MaclIntyre and the McPhees not only gave up their own needed cloth- ing but cheerfully used every scrap of food they had to supply the hungry survivors with meals, and were them- selves literally starving when Ameri- can Red Cross officers by accident discovered the situation and drove twenty miles to a country store to buy provisions to replenish the larder of the good samaritans, One of the Red Cross officers in recounting to the correspondent the relief work of the islanders concluded by saying: “The people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to the people of t island that can never be re d. The Otranto was | sunk in collision with the steamship Kashmir off the Scottish coast with a loss. of 357 American soldiers. United States army officers have been so greatly impressed by the | kindness and hospitality of the is- | landers that they made a special re- quest of the Associated Press to car- | ry a list of the names of those whose | service was particularly notable. From the Laird of Islay, Hugh Morrison, and his wife, Lucy Mary, down to the humblest peasant, the islanders have | done everything in their power to | comfort the survivors and help to re- | cover the dead. In addition to those already named, the army officers’ honor list includes | David MacTaggart, a farmer, and his | wife and son. MacTaggart, who is the | chief of the island’s volunteer coast lifeguard, led the rescue parties when the survivors began to come ashore. Standing up to his armpits in the dangerous surf, he pulled out four drowning men, three of whom were soldiers and the other a member of the crew. All of these, with four oth- er survivors, were taken by MacTag- gart's young son to the family’s home at Kilchiaran, several miles distant, where they werc taken care of until a British destroyer took them to Lon- donderry. Another lifesaver was Andrew Stev- a seaman who holds a Car- negie medal for heroism. Others on the army list are Mrx. Sarah Hyland, Alex MacMillan, Miss | Jennie Killen, Captain Rob Lawson, Miss Mary N. Clarke, Miss Flora Mac- Alpin, Miss Eupemihe Currie, Donald | Gillesple, Hector Macfadgen, Miss | Kate Clark, Ronald McDugash and Miss Mary Maclntyre. Many of these already had earned American gratitude by their labors ' in connection with the Tuscania dis- | aster. Colonel Turnbull, head of the con- | stabulary of Argyll, is warmly praised by the army officers for his able ad- ministration of the work of recover- ing bodies. Sergeant of Police Mal- colm MacNeil, who led the Tuscania rescue work, is also commended for his tireless labors in recovering the Otranto bodles. NUT ORACKING BEE.
