TORY Of
CHICAGO GIRL DESCRIBES HOR-
ROR OF THINGS SEEN AND LIV-
EI) IN LAST MONTH.
Athens, Greece, Feb. 2, via London.
—“There is no way to tell you so that
you would understand the awful hor-
ror of the things that I have seen and
lived in the last month,” said Marie
Lemons of Chicago, one of the Red
Cross nurses who survived the sink-
ing of the Italian steamship Brindisi,
which recently struck a mine in the
Adriatic. She continued:
"The hideous rapidity of the sink-
ing of the steamship Brindisi with her
decks covered with dead; the Aus-
trian aeroplane attacks on San Gio-
vannia di Medua and Durazzo; th.s
ghastly sight of hundreds of Serbs
falling exhausted and dying from hun-
ger and cold along the road of their
retreat through Albania—it does not
seem believable.”
Miss Lemos is 22 years old, with
broad features revealing her Bohe-
mian extraction. High laced boots, a
short klmki skirt, a jacket embroider-
ed with the Red Cross insignia an.l a
flannel waist constitute her only out-
er garments.
“We struck a mine at 3 o'clock in
the morning and the Brindisi began
to sink immediately,” said Miss I.e-
jnos. "Two hundred of the 423 Mon-
tenegrin reservists on board, who w >re
unable to swim, said they would not
die by the enemy’s hand. They sang
their national anthem and then one
squad shot the others and finally kill-
ed themselves. The decks were cover-
ed with dead and awash with blood.
As soon as the persons rescued
were safely ashore at San Giovanni di
Medua the Montenegrins lined up and
rosang the national anth,em. While
they were sin,ring an Austrian aero-
plane squadron bombarded the town,
killing eighteen of those who had just
been saved.
"FYom San Giovinni we walked to
Scutari and sought to join the Serbian
staff at iPlavnica, bat six days later
the evacuation of the town took place.
'King Nicholas of Montenegro
brought us to Scutari in his boat. He
is a kindly and democratic old man.
Prince Peter says he wants to give up
the struggle and again begin life as
a private citizen, preferably in Amer-
ica.
“From Scutari we walked five days
through sleet and snow over detest-
able roads along which the hunger-
weakened Serbs died like files.
"Reaching Durazzo several pursuing
Austrian aeroplanes bombarded the
town where tile remnants of the Ser-
bian army were so crowded that they
were unable to escape the missiles.
Many were killed and others wounded,
and owing to the lack of medical
stores, the suffering was frightful.
“From Durazzo we accompanied th.a
Serbs to Avlona and Corfu and thence
to Athens.”

ber of the crew of the Dutch tank
steamer Artemia, torpedoed in the
North Sea by two German torpid:
boats, which put two officers and two
men on board, examined her papers
and ordered the captain to steer for
Zesbrugge. The captain replied that
he did not know the course.
“Drop anchor: you have five min-
utes to leave the ship,” was the reply,
the seaman declares.
The crew of the Artemia ran to the
lifeboats, but before they could be
lowered, the narrator assorts, a tor-
pedo crushed into the Artemia near
