DR. GliICK ON SHIP HIT By IN

Felt Like Somebody Kicked Boat From Under Him, He Declares. In his tfmarks at the formal farewen cixen South Fend soldiers list nikt. Pr. A. I F. Cammack letaiicd a ::umbr of interesting exj.erinp es whicli fell to his lot during Iiis fourteen months in the xar zone. "It felt like someone had kicked the t-hip out from under me," explained. Dr. Gamfnack In .peaking of the time a ship on which he was detailed was struck y a mine. "Theie was a tremendous roar as a great column of water thundered on the deck. It was an. appalling .sound. Fortunately xx e found mi investigation that the ship Avas not in immediate danger ot sinking-. 1 Are Killed. "The mine had exploded ju.-t 111ler the fo'c's'le which were oc1 npied by an oriental crexv. Nineteen of the poor fellows were killed. Some of them, apparently uninjured, ' were pinned under the wreckage in their quarters. I took charge of nie man. xvho riad both feet Moxvr: off. I learned later that his injuries did not prove fatal. The captain succeeded in le-aching the ship and we were taken off hy destroyers. As for myself, 1 didn't even get my feet wet. "So far as I know. I never went through a submarine attack. F.ut there was one incident that may interest you. While on a certain ship, I was called to the hridge by t'ne captain's orders ami asked by him to help him watch for bodies. He said that in the last half hour he passed several, ami that as it was his luty to make it report of all such incidents, he wanted me to watch with him so that if we passed any more I could es'imato how bin; they had been dead. Fa-s Halt Load of Dead. "We must have passed a score of odies in the course of the next hour, but all were Moating face down and I could form 110 opinion as to how long they had been in the water. Finally, we sighted a raft, and on drawing up to it saw that 'im it were the bodies f from IS to I'O dead r.egroes. I later learned that the ship in which they were being transported had suffered damage in a collision. 'There was one puzzling incident that I went through. An object scraped along the ship from bow to stern. The scraping had ceased but a moment before there was a terrilie explosion about :H feet to the stern. A column of water shot up iOij feet into the air. It was follow I by- a big smoke column. "Well, what has happened? It couhi not have been a shell, for there were no guns near. It couhl not have been a mine, for a mine would have exploded hefore it had scraped the entire length of the x'es-cl. For obvious reason?, it could not have been a torpedo. The only conclusion we were able to reach xxas that we had collided with a mine layin submarine and that I by bumping into the rear of the i submarine, we had exploded the j submarine's mines and blown up ! the F-boat."
