3 CAPTAIN AND SON SAVE SHIP FROM U Angio-Californian Reaches Queens- town with Dead Aboard After Attack by Subsea. COMMANDER FALLS AT WHEEL QUEENSTOW July 6.—With nine dead :allors stretched on its deck, eight men lying wounded be- low and its sides riddled with shot and shell, the British steamship Anglo-Californian steamed into Queenstown harbor this morning after having withstood the attack of | a German submarine for four hours The ship's escape from destruction was accomplished with no other means of detense than the Indomitable spirit its captain and crew, combined with masterly seamanship, which enabled it to frustrate the efforts of its assailant | ) torpedo it | Son Takes Fath Place. The story of how Captain Parsloh stood on the bridge of the Anglo-Call fornian, amidst a rain of shot and calml tirected the movements of his ship until he was killed by a shell, and of | how his place was taken by his son | ntil British destroyers appeared and the submarine was compelled to flee, was told by the survivors The Anglo-Californian left Montreal for the British Isles on June 4 The submarine was sighted at § o'clook last Sunday morning. Captain Parslow or- | dered full steam ahead and wireless calls for assistance wers sent out T'he submarine on the surface proved | t be a far speedler c(raft thar the steamer and rapidly overhauled it, mean- while deluging it with shells. One shot put the wireless apparatus on the Anglo Californian out of uction. Finding he could not escape by running for it, Cap- | tain Parslow devoted his attention m‘l maneuvering his hip to prevent the sub- | marine from using torpsdoes effectively. n Brave Man.

All the while the underwater boat continued to rain shot and shell upon us and at times was so close that it was able to employ its guns effec- tively. At st one shell blew the captain off the bridge, killing him outright and terribly mutilating him. Just before that he had given orde:a to launch the boats, but this was very difficult under the shell fire. Several men were struck down while working at the davits. Ul- timately four boats were got overboard and were rowed away urtil ploked up.” RUSSIAN LINE -AROUND WARSAW IS HOLDING FIRM 4 (Continued from Page 2:\-.)“‘_’— Ven ashore on the island of Gothiand shells had been tired into it within '~ three-mile Mmit. | French Offtolsl Report.

After the tlow of blood had been checked and the wound bandaged, the keeper and Warden Fulse searched for the pencll They found it on the cot.
