AMERICAN SAVED
BY SUBMARINE
Chicagoan Tells of Being
Picked Up at Sea.
TREATED WELL BY GERMANS
Arrives In United States After Adven
turous Voyage Abosrd British Supply
Ship Which Was Sunk—Given Food
and Clothes Aboard the U Boat and
Later Sent Ashore.
Landing In New York with $1.10 in
his pockets from Liverpool. John D.
Harrison, a high school graduate of
Chicago, told a story of having been
pulled aboard a German submarine In
the bay of Biscay after the ship on
which he was steward had been sunk,
then cast adrift on a life raft, to be
picked up two hours later by a Scotch
patrol boat and finally landed at Fal
mouth, wearing a rough suit of clothes ,
which was given to him by the Ger
man submarine commander.
Everything he owned went down in
the bay of Biscay, off Finistere. '
France, when the English ship Margam
Abbey was sunk on April 10. Through
the United States consul, Lortn A.
Lathrop, of Cardiff. Wales, Harrison
has filed a claim with the British ad
miralty for $250 for the loss of his ef
fects, but, as he added nonchalantly:
“Only the good Lord knows whether
I will ever get it"
Cheered as Ship Sank.
“The commander was very polite to
me,” said Harrison. “He spoke Eng
lish, and he asked me to go up on deck
with the officers, and there we stood
until the Margam Abbey took her final
plunge and disappeared beneath the
waves. The Germans all took off their
hats and cheered.
“We reached Madeira," he continued,
“and after staying four days went to
Bordeaux, where we landed a big cargo
of flour for Verdun. We received or
ders to proceed to Cardiff, Wales, where
were the offices of the owners of the
vessel. Two days after leaving Bor
deaux, while we were at the head of
the bay of Biscay, the first mate at 3
o’clock in the morning of April 10
sighted a submarine off the starboard
bow. We immediately put on steam.
The German boat was about two miles
off. She chased us and began firing
explosive shells, and one rendered us
helpless by carring away half of the
propeller. Before that, however, we
were in a sinking condition, for fully
fifty shots were fired, and many struck
us below the'water line. The only man
on board to be hit was the chief engi
neer.
“We carried two lifeboats. One bad
twelve holes shot through it. but they
were plugged up. The captain ordered
them launched, and we left the ship.
One boat pulled toward the island of
Ushant. France, about sixty miles off,
while the captain's boat, in which I
w’as a passenger, turned toward the
coast of England, about eighty miles
away. After rowing for about two
miles the submarine disappeared. The
Margam Abbey was half submerged,
but the captain suggested that we go
back, believing we might stand a bet
ter chance to be picked up. The cap
, tain and I went aboard to get some
medicines from the cabin when the
submarine emerged 300 yards away
and fired two more shots, one passing
; over my head In the cabin. 1 ran out'
| on the port side and Jumped into the
water, while the captain jumped in on
the starboard side, where the boat was,
and was picked up and the sailors
rowed away, but not before the Ger
man commander had called out that he
would pick me up. 1 had on a life belt
and was supported by some planks. I
was In the water twenty minutes when
the submarine came alongside.
red by the Germans.
“The first thing I told the submarine
eommande. was that I was an Ameri
: can. He asked me a lot of questions
about the ship, where we were bound,
what our cargo was. Then he took me
down the conning tower and told the j
steward to give me some breakfast. I I
had hot coffee, ham and bread, and It
surely tasted good. I uever saw so
much machinery In so small a compass j
before as in that submarine. She was I
a big boat. 300 feet long, carrying two ;
six pound guns fore and aft and with j
two torpedo tubes. The crew numbered
about thirty men, all young, fine look
ing fellows. I asked the commander If
I could take off my clothes to dry
them, and he ordered some dry ones to
be given to me. I was surely treated
very well, and everything about the
submarine was in neat order.
“The submarine had In some manner
picked up our life raft and was towing
it The commander and his officers
held a consultation, and I was asked
to go on deck. It was then that we
saw the Margam Abbey sink. We
stayed around the place about an hour
and then the commander said he was
going to set me adril't on the life raft.
He said I would soon be picked up by
, one of the English patrol boats, for he
said they had been hunting for him for ,
a week, ‘but tell them from me.’ he
added, ‘that we are still here '
“Well, they put me on the ralt in my
dry German suit. Half of the crew
were on top of the submarine watch- i
lng me, and they waved their caps and I
all shouted In English, ‘Goodl y:’ The
submarine moved off and soon sub
merged, and that was the lust I saw
of her.”
