HOPE EBBS FOR U-BOAT VICTIMS

71 Survivors Recall Days Of Horror; Fear 250 Shipmates Lost.

SAN JUAN. P. R.. Jan. 29 (U. P). —The 71 survivors of the torpedoed Canadian liner Lady Hawkins, grateful for what they regarded as their miracluulous preservation, gave up their 250 shipmates as | definitely lost today. | Dispatches from Canada and the | United States confirmed their fore|bodings that the two other life | boats known to have gotten away from the Lady Hawkins had not 'surivived. If no more survivors are found, th: Lady Hawkins is the worst tragedy of the current German submarine war along the Atlantic coast and one of the worst of the war.

Most of the 250 missing were civilians, including a large number of women and children. Among them were American construction workers, mostly from the vicinity of St. Joseph, Mo. Attacked in Moonlight

The survivors told in detail today of the torpedoing of the Lady Hawkins and of their personal ordeals through five days and nights crowded in one life boat. The submarine sneaked up on the Lady Hawkins in a soft, moonless tropical night. It must have known she was defenseless, because it broke water 100 yards away and turned two lights Upon her, A minute later, it sent ‘a torpedo smashing into the Lady | Hawkins’ No. 2 hold. A second exploded in the No. 3 hold.

200 Pitched Inte Sea

The ship heeled violently over, i pitching 200 sleeping persons into {the sea. | Then the Lady Hawkins caught | fire, and burned for 25 minutes be|tore sinking, while 78 survivors pulled away in a lifeboat, with drowning men, women and babies around them begging for help. The seventy-one survivors were landed here yesterday by the S. S. Coamo of the New York and Puerto Rico Steamship Co. They said the Lady Hawkins was torpedoed at 1:50 a. m, Jan. 19, and they were rescued after five days in the lifeboat. Five of the 76 persons in the lifeboat died and were buried at sea. The struggle for survival became so grim that it was a choice among the children aboard and the older persons, and { Chief Officer Percy Kelly, in comi mand, reserved his one bottle of | brandy for the children and let their elders take their chances. Five Buried at Sea “Five people died in the boat of exposure and were buried at sea.” Kelly said. “That was our worst time. It was awful to see those people go. I might have helped

But I knew that I must keep that to use it where it would do the | most good, especially for the chiljdren. They still had long lives ahead of them and I wanted them to get their chances.” The other survivors said Kelly was a hero, that they would never have lived if he hadn't been with them to ration out the water and biscuit and keep up their courage. Kelly said one of the real heroines was little Janet Johnson, a chubby little girl, two years and eight months old. Brandy for Fever

“She spent all of her time in her mother's arms and got a thrill out of every waking moment,” he said. “She was soaked for five days, but we heard hardly a whimper from her. One night she had a little fever and we gave her a spoonful of brandy. It pulled her through, but for a time it made her laugh so much that the whole boat laughed with her and we were all immensely cheered.” All spoke solemnly of those catapulted into the water by the tor-

pedoes and those who died in the | lifeboat, two of whom were elderly. | “The worst thing was seeing | those people die while we were in | the lifeboat,” Charlie Reed of St. Joseph, Mo., said. “Some of them were out of their heads. They plucked at our clothing and kept calling for hot water and coffee. “When we were pulling away from the Hawkins I heard a girl and a baby calling from the water in the darkness, but I couldn't find them. Neo Offer to Help

“The U-boat surfaced again. after it had attacked us, and | played its lights on the water. The | Nazi skipper made no offer of help of any kind” Janet's mother, Mrs. Maude Johnson, who was saved with her hus- | band, said the ship listed to port ‘and the lights went out after the ! first torpedo struck. Mr. Johnson took the child in his arms and Jumped overboard. Mrs. Johnson followed him. They swam to the lifeboat, and were pulled aboard, but Mrs. Johnson said it was so crowded that the survivors had to stand to breathe. She said daily rations were one | biscuit, one-quarter cup of water land two teaspoons of condensed {milk for each person in the boat.

“You Should Help by Giving

MORE than USUAL

® ALL OF US who are holding good jobs at good pay should be

willing to give more than usual to the Red Cross now--at least

five times as much as usual—to help our boys who are risking

everything for $21 a month.

Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson says: “In the face of ac-

tual peril to our nation, the Army has asked the Red Cross to move

with traditional swiftness in meeting the emergency on all fronts.

Everyone at home should contribute generously to the Red Cross

$50,000,000 War Relief Fund.”

Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox says: “It would be hard

to comprehend a war without the Red Cross fighting by our side.

In every Pacific and Atlantic outpost of our Navy, the Red Cross i

is on the job. All who believe in America should give their sup-

port to the Red Cross.”

The War Fund quota assigned to Indianapolis is $350,000.

We'll go over the top if everyone does his full part. A Red Cross

War Fund worker will call on you soon. Be prepared to give much

more than ever before—and show your patriotism.
