CANTALOUPES BETTER
E. G. Emmons, eucceeaful
fanner, was among the crowds
thronging the city’s thorough-
fares Saturday, and stated hie
crop of cantaloups was the beet
in years. However, on account of
the failure of his frienda and
neighbors to plant an ample sup-
ply, and his cwn liberal inclina-
tions, the crop has not been a
very profitable one from a financi-
al standpoint.

Experiences Horror *
Of Torpedoed Vessel
Mr. and^ Mrs, A. H. White, Jr.
of Dew received the following
clipping from their son, Pvt.
Howard Zane White, who under-
went a terrifying experience on
a ship torpedoed in the Indian
ocean. Pvt. White completed hia
high school training here, and
finished one year of veterinary
medicine at A. A M. before en-
tering service.
This is the story:
Terrifying experiences befell
members of the crew of a freight-
ei when she was torpedoed by an
enemy submarine in the Indian
Ocean some time ago.
When the ship was struck she
was plunged into darknesB. Men
floundered about their quarters,
assailed by the fear that they
might be imprisoned and go down
with the vessel.
Many got away in lifeboats and
rafts. The submarine surfaced
close by, and stacked the ship
again. .'
The men’s- difficulties and
dangero were not over. For days
they were afloat under a pitiless
sun; for seven freezing nights
they were adrift, always at the
mercy of rough seas, f
Many suffered badly from the
effects of constant immersion and
exposure.
As- time lengthened, still with
no apparent hope of rescue, they
were forced to reduce water and
rations to the minimum.
Planes Search
In the meantime a comprehen-
sive search was being carried out
by both ship and land-based air-
craft and, finally, the castaways
were located after six days and
seven nights at sea. Bulk of the
survivors were picked up by a
corvette which brought them to
an Australian port.
They were indefinite aa to what
loss of life might have been in-
volved. From what they knew
two lifeboats still appeared to be
missing.
From survivors a dramatic
story of the events aboard ship
was obtained. One of them re-
called that the first torpedo struck
shout 10:85 p. m.
“I was asleep In my bunk and
the force of it threw me to the
underside of the deck above my
head," he said. “I fell then about
„
12 feet and something fell across
my foot.
“Then I was knocked out for a
few minutes after a second ex-
plosion. %
"When I recovered I groped
round trying to reach the stair-
way, but I think it must have I
been blown out. 1 finally found a
rope but couldn’t climb it because
it was covered with oil slick. I
got out in the end by clambering
up a ladder.
Sub Surfaces
“I made my way to one of the
life rafts and we floated off for
about 200 yards. The submarine
surfaced and we sAw her about’
200 feet away. There were 15 of
us and the aub passed close by
before moving nearer our ship.
Then he disappeared."
For two days, this survivor re-
vealed, they were within sight of
the stricken vessel. Then she
plunged spectacularly to her
grave.
In their precarious craft the
men were rationed two majted
milk tablets daily.
They never lost confidence that
they would be rescued and their
hopes were raised further when,
five days after the sinking, they
saw an aircraft which apparently
spotted some of the drifting craft;
hut the plane was at a great dis-
tance.
They lighted flares and sent up
smoke bombs. The plane came
nearer, then made for land which
they judged to be about 1000
miles away.
Planes subsequently dropped
extra rations to the castaways.
“Awful Hungry” 1 j
“I got awful hungry," the sur-
vivor remarked, “and thirsty too.
Water was constantly buffeting
ua to our hips and my feet and
Jegs became swollen bad, so that
I couldnt walk when they took me
r.board the corvette.”
Another of the rescued seamen,
who had similar experiences, said:
“I was lying in my top bunk when
hit and it came with such a violent
smack that I was thrown to the
floor. I was dazed and was pick-
ing myself up the second time
when another explosion occurred.
"This sort of ‘messed me up,’
For some time I did not know
what happened.
“However, I saw that water and
oil were starting to appear and I
set about getting out. Fellows
were hollering in the darkness and
some of them must have been in
a bad way.”
He learned afterwards that two
of the rafts had been blown away
Ky the force of the explosion and
were whirled away like balloons.
“I never dreamed there was so
much water in the Indian Ocoan,”
said this survivor ruefully as he
tenderly rubbed his still hadly
swollen legs.
