SIX CHEAT FIRE AND DROWNING DEATH AT SEA Five Men and Woman Are Saved as They Float in Tiny Dory. BY DELOS SMITH rnited Prei* Staff Correspondent CAPE MAY, N. J., Aug. 18.—The sea, lapping over these sandy shores, today sang its same sweet j song for five men and a woman j fresh from as terrifying an experience as the great wilderness of ; water ever devised for her stalwart followers. The six were aboard the fishing schooner Hilda Marie that burned j to the water edge twelve miles off 1 Cape May Wednesday. They had the choice between death in a raging fire or death by drowning. Their chances seemed one in a hundred, but they took to the sea. A few minutes later a friendly sail showed itself on the horizon. The Hilda Marie, Captain Edward Brex commanding, Mrs. Brex aboard, was manned by a crew of five, sailed from Cape May for the Five Fathoms fishing grounds, twenty miles off shore. The sea was calm. The w’atches passed uneventfully until a little before dawn, when a heavy fog settled down. Seaman Raymond Klien w ? as at the wheel. He sniffed the damp air. “I smell smoke,” he said. “Yer smellin’ things,” said Seaman William Burton. But he took a “look-see” anyway. The room containing the little auxiliary engine was on fire. In an instant, all hands were on deck. “All right, sailors,” shouted Captain Brex, “think how’d you look as a heap of ashes, and turn to.” He grabbed up a bucket of sand, filled his lungs with fresh air, and

dived into the engine room. He came out a moment later, puffing and coughing “Do you want to live?” Captain; Brex barked at his crew. “Then pump faster, lads.” The old pump fairly sang and water poured into the engine room. But it was too late. The flames spread, and in an hour the poop deck of the Hilda Marie was a mass of crackling, roaring flames. The dory was sw r ung over the side and launched in a calm sea. It leaked. The men set to bailing, but how long could they keep it afloat? They drifted away from the Hilda Marie and soon she was lost in the fog. At that instant a breeze sprung up. The fog grew gradually thinner. A mile from them was the smoldering hulk of the Hilda Marie. “Look! Look!” sobbed a sailor, “A sail! A sail!”' It was the sails of the fishing schooner Bob Jack, out of Newport News, and for the six in the dory , there never was a more beautiful ship.

BULGARIA FETES U. S. ENGINEER IN KINGLYFASHION Railman Goes Back to Old Home and Is Stunned by Welcome. By United Prett NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Augustus Phillips, an immigrant boy who “made good,” has returned from an Arabian Nights adventure. A railroad engineer in Fall City, Neb., he was treated like a visiting monarch in his native Bulgaria. He was received in private audience by King Boris, flowers were strewn in his path, pretty girls kissed him, and orchestras played sweet serenades each evening under his window'. “I can’t understand it,” he said, on his return here Wednesday. “It might have been that letter the mayor of Fall City wwote to the mayor of my native village. And maybe they thought a railroad engineer w'as someone really important.” Phillips was born in the village of Altos, Bulgaria, forty-five years ago. He migrated to the United States at 14, to escape compulsory military service. Determined to make good, he studied English and took correspondence school courses. He became an American citizen and advanced slowly from waterboy to laborer to section gang foreman until he became engineer of a crack Missouri Pacific train. He married a physician’s daughter and was a solid and substantial citizen. “Then I got to longing for my home village,” he explained. “I thought maybe they would remember that compulsory military service, so I asked the mayor of Fall 1 City to write a letter ahead of me.

I certainly would like to know what he wrote.” He was in the midst of enjoying princely entertainment, when the fiat royal arrived from his majesty's summer palace on the Black sea at Vaman. King Boris had heard of the visiting Bulgarian who made good in America, and nothing would do but that he see him. So he dispatched the royal car. King Boris and Phillips were in close conversation for several hours. He was entertained at the palace. “The king is a nice fellow,” said
