Nevins, one of the crew of the U. S. coast guard cut- ter Seneca, and a son of Mrs. Eliza- beth Nevins of 10 Sixth street, went to a hero's death on Sept. 16 off the British coast is told by Frazier Hunt in a cable to the Chicago Tribune under date of Sept. 21. Young Nevins was one of ten men of the crew of the Seneca who were lost | ridi in an attempt to bring into port the British steamer Wellington, which had a gaping hole in her bow from a tor- pedo fired by a German submarine. Carl S. Newbury of New London was another one of the ten lost. Only one of the bodies of the ten was recov- ered, In part the story of the Wellington and the attempt at rescue by the Sen- eca was told as follows: The torpedo struck in the forward hatch, cariyng away some 30 feet of the ship, so that the waves beat against the thin bulkhead. The crew of 36 men took to the life- bodts, while the coast guardship stood by to help and try to get the sub. As in all such cases, the remainder of the convoy put on full steam and went ahead to get out of the danger zone. Less than 30 minutes after the torpedo struck the survivors were pulled on the American ship, but even before they were taken aboard a young Amer- ican officer, Lieut. Fletcher Webster Brown of Brockton, Mass, received the permission of his captain to call for volunteers to go upon the tor- pedoed ship. True to the traditions of the ser- vice, every man on the ship volunteer- ed, but Brown chose only 18. One of them was a smiling, popular 17 year old lad named Jimmy Nevins, from Norwich, Conn., who Insisted upon go- ing. Lieutenant Brown refused him permission half a dozen times, but he pleaded so hard that the officer finally consented. Jimmy was one of the ten who never came back, and last night | over in the barracks -where the ones who did come back were gathered the talk was mostly about this brave lad i | who pleaded to go to his death. On the same lifeboat that the Brit- ish crew had rowed to the rescuing ship the 18 American sailors and offj- 1565 | cers returned to the torpedoed freights er. The British captain accompanied them, and a few minutes later 11 more of the British crew followed in a emall oat. ‘On boarding the abandoned ship two of the bluejackets were stationed to man the aft gun, another as passenger on the bridge with the officers, while a fourth took charge of- the deck. “Sparks” Mason, a volunteer wireless operator, hurried to the radio room, while the remajning 13 went below to the boiler and engine rooms. The water gauge of the boilers showed no water, and any second the tubes might burn out, but the hoys “stuck,” and began filling the boilers With sea water. Then tkey buflt up the fires which now were low. and in a few minutes the ship, with its prow blown off and the bulkhead open to the sea, was doing five knots. “We will make it all right,” Lieut. Brown radiced to his ship, and it ad- swered back: “Very well, good-by.” Then it was off to join the blg con- voy, where it was badly needed, A little before midnight the seas battered their way through the for- ward bulkhead and the Wellington was - doomed. All hands were called on deck. The British captain ordered the lifeboat lowered from the davits and a crew of eight men to man it and take all on board. Lieut. Brown, howeer, de- cided to stay with the ship and chose feur Americans and four Britishers who volunteered to stick with him. Eight men got off in a lifeboat and were picked up by a destroyer that came rushing in response to 8. O. S. calls. Just before the great ship had turn- ed over and made its last final plunge to death most of the 20 men left dived overboard, holding to some bit of wreckage. Most of the men had left the ship now, and slowly it began turning cn its side. Lieutenant Brown and_the sturdy young coxswain, Jameés Clar- ence Osborn, from Homer, Ill, who enlisted with the Coast Guards from Chicago, slipped over the side and stood on the ship’s propeller. Then the great boat shook, lunged and went ow Here, on the propeller, Osborn threw off his life preserver, fore off his clothes, and when he ‘ived int6 the water was naked.. It was 4 o'clock now and still dark, and he swam around, calling through the darkness from one shipmate to another. Half an hour later Osborn was rid- ing the waves on a small improvised life-raft. Suddenly he heard some one calling for heilp. Swimming in that -direc- tion with the raft, he reached Cox- PRIV AVETNCRING VRIS SR TAFTVILLE The death of Deo Dion, son of Mr. and Mrs. Philias Dion of Merchants' avenue, occurred early Sunday morn- ing at the Backus hospital.

Due to the fact that pro- the bleseing, ducers are ot able to meet the re- quirements of the navy, several hun- dred quarts of milk are being brought into the county daily from outside sources, a mark right at our door: which we are not able to s It is proposed to co- operative milk plants at Norwich and New London which will be equipped to turn out products meeting the re- quirements of the government and also will be able to handle all the surplu product for 4ts members. A co-opes tive association of producers, proper managed, will not only enable its members to market their product un- der the new regulations but 11 be one of the best means of solvi acute labor shortage that confronts at the present time. By collecting the milk at the producer's door, ling it to the plant and dis one central point, the time of many men, most of them the most valuable on the farm, will be saved. In Newport, R. I, 17 men are re- quired to distribute 8,000 quarts per day from such a cd-operative nt established last March, which gets its supply from 150 producers, Previous to the establishment of the plant it fair to assume that at least 100 of these farmers peddled their own milk, taking one-half day out of their time off the farm, and accomplishing only the work that 17 are now doing, to say nothing of the time of the teams or trucks. Besides this great saving in time, the plaxt paid its producers nine cents per quart at their doors all summer, with the exception of two months, when eight cents was paid. How many produc: in Norwich and New London received that much at their @oors last summer? Lieut. W. E. Purrington United States public health eervice and County Agent F. C. Warner of the New London county farm bureau are assisting the producers in securing estimates on the probable cost of es- tablishing these plants and. as soon A_brief and timely talk was given by Leohard O.

IMPROVING ON NATURE Your grandmother, in her day, would have told you that it was impossible to improve on natural butter made from sour cream in the farm dairy—but niodern ce has found a way. Bene- fit Brand “Sweet Nut,” made from the most delicate and nutritious elements of the crisp white meat of the tropical cocoanut, churned . with pasteurized milk, is Tully equal to the best butter, both' in flavor and quality. It is de- licious with bread or biscuit, cannot be distinguished from the best dairy product. Try it just once and you will be convinced that it is _a_real table iuxury, and_ also one bright spot of economy thrift in a new arucie vi food that is really better than the old. It costs 32c a pound and is sold only at the Direct Importing Co’3 yellow tront store, 227 Franklin square, Nor- wich, where Benefit Brand Teas, Cof- fees and Grocery Specialties are Te- tailed at wholesale prices.
