tho U boat that a few minutes beforo
torpodood tho Urltlsh steamer Duns
loy, and bcllovod it was tho sumo sub
marine. Thoy agreed that tho Arabic wan
lent to tho bottom without warning.
Throo things, tho pnssongcra agreed,
provonted a larger loss of life. Thoy
woro:
First, that tho sua was calm; sec
ond, that lifeboats had previously boon
Bwung out to meet such an emergency,
and third, that thcro was no panic and
tho crow displayed good disclpllno in
getting over tho boats.
Little Confusion Shown.
Prom tho moment tho heavy blow
struck by tho torpedo rocked the
Btcamor with a violent explosion until
Bho Bank beneath tho waves, thero was
llttlo confusion among either passen
gers or crow. Men who had passed
through othor disasters said that noth
ing improssod them so much as tho
calm, ordorly mannor in which tho pas
BongerB got over tho Bides within
eleven mtnutos after tho vessol was
struck.
Tho drowned woro in two boats
which capsized almost immediately
after thoy struck tho water. Ono of
.them was caught by tho llnor aB sho
rollod over in her death plungo. Somo
Df the occupants struggled to rafts and
clung fast until thoy woro picked up
by other boats. Thoso that could not
swim went down beneath tho wavos
rollod by tho sinking Arabic. Several
of tho crow, it is bolloved certain,
woro blown to pioces when tho torpedo
plunged into tho vessel's sldo.
Many Passengers Bruised.
Many of tho survivors landed horo
wero suffering from sovero bruises.
They had boon thrown about violently
when tho explosion shook tho Arabic.
Probably a scoro of women who es
capod in their night clothing wero still
under caro of physicians, suffering
from exposure Nono of tho Injured,

"Most of tho passengors woro on
dock or at breakfast when wo wero
struck," said Josoph O. do Lorrinior,
Montreal lawyor and son-in-law of a
former Canadian minister of marine
"Possibly fifty of tho passengors wero

watching wo caught tho faint sound
of an explosion, and took it for grant

"Our courso was taking ua over In
tho direction of Dunsloy. We prepared
for an attack at once. Tho crow ran
about distributing life preservers and

turned when I saw n white stroak
rushing toward tho Arabic, churning
up foam, nt n great rato. Then thero
was a tremendous explosion. Tho
ship stopped nlmost instantly. Sho
rocked from sldo to sldo nnd began to
keel ovor. Most of tho passengers
wero In tho boats in an Instant, aud
thero was not the slightest panic.
"I baroly had tlmo to mako tho last
llfobont. Wo woro launched success
fully, but hadn't got clear whon
the Arublc rollod ovor and went down.
Sho was half turned on her side, and
her starboard quarter struck our boat,
caving in tho sldo and throwing us
Into tho water.
Clings to a Raft.
"I thought it was all over, but I
finally enmo up and swam to a raft.
I don't know what happoncd to tho
others. Whllo I was clinging to tho
raft I saw another lifeboat about to
sink. Thoy called to mo nnd throw mo
a hawBor. I tied it around tho raft
nnd hung partly to tho hawser nnd to
tho raft until I was pickod up ex
hausted. "I counted ton lifeboats pulling
away. Ono of thorn filled with water
Just after it cloared tho Arabic's sldo
nnd sank. A woman, who I later
learned was tho sister of tho Arabic's
surgeon, wnB thrown into tho water.
Ono of tho Arabic's sailors swam to
her and tho captain of a French ship
thnt camo to our rescue dived off tho
deck of his vessel nnd helped get
her into a boat. It was n lino piece
of work."
Women Cool In Danger.
Stolla Carroll, a professional sing
or, who was among tho survivors, said
thero was no pnnic. Tho women, sho
said, wero particularly cool; hut sev
eral of them, very scantily clad, suf
fered from tho cold wind after thoy
got Into tho boats.
"Thero wero four women and 29
mon In our boat," Bald Miss Carroll.
"Wo got away safely, nnd wo saw tho
captain dlvo off tho brldgo as tho ship
settled under him. It seemed that
our boat drifted a long whllo before
wo woro picked up. When tho worn
on hecamo greatly distressed I sang
'It's a Long Way to Tipperary' to
choor them up."
D. Curry, tho assistant purser, and
sovoral othor officers and passengers
who woro on deck whon tho Arnblc
was hit corroborated tho story told
by Captain Finch.
"I wns on tho brldgo at 9:15 Thurs
day morning, watching tho Dunsloy,
which appeared to have boon torpo
doed, when I saw tho white wake of a
torpedo 300 yards away," said tho
captain. "I saw no submarine Tho
torpedo struck about ninety feot from
tho stern on tho starboard sldo at
about right angles.
Lifeboat Splintered.
"A big stream of water spouted up
to a groat height, carrying a lot of
wreckage and splintering ono of the
lifeboats. Tho vessel began to scttlo
almost immediately.
"Tho greatest ordor prevailed. Tho
boats had provlously been swung out,
becauso wo know a submartno was In
tho vicinity, nnd 14 of thorn woro filled
nnd lowered in no tlmo. Two of tho
boats capsized for somo unaccount

this tli or o would havo boon scarcely
any loss of llfo.
"I remained on tho bridgo until tho
water was lapping at my foot, and
then dovo off. When I camo up my
head struck somo wreckage and I was
slightly injured. I swam to a near-by
raft, but was unablo to draw myself

LESSON FOR AUGUST 29
GOD'S CARE OF ELIJAH.
LESSON TEXT-I Kliisn 17:1-10.
OOLDKN TEXT-Custlnc nil your nnx
Icty upon hltii, bcciiUHo ho cuiutii tor you.
I l'ctur 6:7 It. V.
Wo now skip thirty to forty yours
to consider tho first ot thoso great
prophets whpso lives aro recorded at
length. Samuel aud David fought unl
mnls, armies nnd giuutB, but those mon
fought engagements In the moral uud
spiritual realm of equal nnd greater
importance. KmphusUo Elijah ua a
real live Heali-and-blood hero. His
work was with tho northern kingdom
and ho probably first met A hub at Sa
maria, his enpitnl in 912 II. C. (?) Tho
Moublte stoiiu (A. D. 18(18) is n re
markable confirmation of tho lllblo
story of this purled.
L The Challenge, v. 1. Tho lesson
la a great Illustration of fulth. Sin
had ugalu mndo vuBt inroads ukiii the
peoplo (eh. 10.30-33) uud this "man of
tho hour," wIiohu mime laenns "Julio
vnh My Strength," (1) b.iw the condi
tions; (2) responded to tho need, uud
(3) had faith In his cuubo because It
wns that ot Jehovah. Tho source of
his faith was the word of tho Lord
Ood (Dcut. 11:18; 32:20). Ho that
"llveth" and before whom tho prophet
Btood in dally, hourly communication.
Elijah was u niuu with u mlsslou
(Matt. 2S:19) who trusted In Uod and
considered it safe to obey. Ills power,
"according to my word," wns In rntlo
according to his llfo of faith (Horn.
10:17). Ho wus also u man of prayer
James 5:17) uud showed his fulth by
hlB works (James 2:17, 20, 2G).
II. The Command, vv. 2-7. Elijah's
faith wus not audacious. Ho took each
stop as commanded by God (v. 2).
Thero is a tlmo for seeming retreat
as well as for tho spectacular chargo.
Elijah's first placo ot testing was
"Cherlth," a gorgo to tho east of tho
river Jordan. This command was con
trary to human reason. "Would it not
soon bo involved iu his prophesied
drought?"
Again, ravens frequently feed upon
carrion, and ho know all tho regula
tions regarding cleanness. Thus to bo
secluded would prevent his observing
tho effect of tho drought upon both
king and people. Still tho command Is
explicit. It was "there" (v. 4), aud
thero only, that Jehovah wus to savo.
The miraclo of saving was to be
wrought undor tho most udverso cir
cumstances and by tho most unlikely
means. "So ho wont." Having faced
the peril, God bid him to presorvo him,
and at tho proper tlmo God also re
vealed him (ch. 18:12). It wns a dally
testing for Elijah ut Cherlth, thus to
bo fed and to seo tho wator evaporat
ing, but it was a tlmo of communion
and after the brook wus dry tuora
camo a now command (vv. 8, 9).
III. The Continued Deliverance, vv.
8-16. Zarephath wus (Luko 4:20) iu
tho dominions of Jezebel's father, on
tho coast of tho Mediterranean soa be
tween Tyro and Sldon, a dangerous
Journoy for Elijah through Abab'tl
kingdom (ch. 18:10). Tho word Zaro
phath means "smelting furnace," and
It too was suffering from this samo
famine. Commanded to hide in Cherlth
Elijah Is told to "dwell" in Zarephath
and that a widow was to bo tho agent
to supply his need. Again Elijah's
prldo had to bo ovorcomo for thero
wero abundant reasons for disliking
such a Journoy, such an abiding place
and such a dependenco Uo:i a poor
widow. Elijah, however, "arose und
went," a contlnuanco of his llfo of
obedience. Ho 11 rat asked for water
and as sho went ho added his request
for food. It was a particular widow to
whom ho wastscnt (Luko 4:25-27) and
through her God wus rcudy to work a
miraclo of salvation on his behalf.
Though about to preparo what Hhu
thought wus to bo hor own and her
Bon's Inst meal (v. 12), yet sho at onco
proceeds to obey tho command of tho
man of God as it was conditioned upon
tho word of Jehovah (v. 14). God,
through his prophets, has commanded
us, given us ussuranco and promised
to sustnln (Phil. 4:19), yet wo hesi
tate. "Sho went and did" tho seem
ing impossible, but according to tho
word of command, und those of "her
house did eat many days." Obcdlenco
saved her own, her son's and tho
prophet's lives. Thcro is sound philoso
phy In Prov. 11:24 which found its
complcto fulfillment In Jesus who
"camo not to bo ministered unto but
to minister." Head carefully Prov.
3:7-10 und II Cor. 9:0-11. As with tho
Israelites in tho wilderness tho supply
was only from day to day (v. 1G) noth
ing ahead, no, accumulation, yet a per
petual supply becauso based on "tho
word of tho Lord" (v. 1C).
God worked this miraclo: (1) to up
hold und to presorvo his chosen mes
senger for his great work in iBraol;
(2) to show his loving kindness and
sustaining graco to tho poor; (3) to
strengthen tho faith of his prophet
against his spectacular conflict on ML
Carmel; (4) to tho cud that ho might
show Israel and all others down
through tho ages a great object lesson
of his sustaining graco and providence.
Tho widow's "two mites" aro filling
church treasuries today, and Mary's
box of ointment has filled all Christen
dom with its aroma and fragrance.
Providence la progressive.
