I The troop ship was a member of a , large convoy approaching t lie English J coast. ~ -I The vessel was torpedoed 200 miles j from shore at 3 o'clock on Friday af-1 ternoon. The transfer or tne American ?6*>UU?ir?s from the troop ship to the de^ strovers. which swarmed around the i 'sinking vesseWas quickly made with out inj m to any one. ~ ] They all escaped injury when the torpedo exploded and they were soon on their way to a British port. There was no sign of panic on board and the admirable behavior of the men I was especially gratifying to ttfe of ficers. Many of the troops came from Chi cago ana Cleveland and a large per centage of them were factory hand^ of foreign extraction. Their behavior proved that they had assimilated the the true spirit of the American soldier. Several soldiers told the Associated Press that they saw the submarine lifted clear out of the water after one of t lie depth charges1 had been explo ded. ? Something had gone wrong with the troop ship's engines, which compelled her Mr a time to lag behind the rest of the convoy, but the trouble had been fixed up and she was fa**t catch ing up with the other transports when a torpedo hit her just forward of the engine rooms. The vesel at once oegan to sink by the bow. Many of the soldiers at the time were taking baths. They did not wait to dress, but made for the decks with what little hey could fyasUly lay their hands on. The water was rush ing in at such a rate that it , was thought the steamer would trfnk. It is hoped that the vessel can be saved. ?T T. List of Letteljjj, ? Following is a list letters re* mainlng in the post offtre af-TfcOiiisbur# X. C., not called for Sept. 13, 1318.
