TURK SUBMARINE COMMANDER
SHOWS UNEXPECTED HUMANITY
A. P. A. S*' vie*.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—That the
Turks, despite tiieir long established
reputation tor brutality are never the
leas capable ol' allowing a quality of
mercy exceeding that of their German
allies is disclosed in the story told by
Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Eagan who ar
rived from the Orient on the New York

According to the story told by Mrs.
Kagan, the British passenger steamer
liarulos on which she was a passenger,
was stopped in the eastern Mediter
ranean in the vicinity of Crete by a
Turkish submarine and after twenty
live persons had been drowned in the
panic which followed the appearance
of the under water vessel, the Turkish
ship aided in the rescue of many of
liie two hundred and titty passengers
who had tlu'own themselves overboard
in a vain attempt to escape.
i relating the incident, Mrs. Kagan
siates that the submarine ship made
no attempt to harm the tiarulos on
t iling that she was a passenger ves
i- and after doing everything possible
i save the passengers struggling in
water, retired. “On the deck of
the submarine,” said Mrs. Eagan.
I saw a number of men with an of
ficer who was directing the work of
rescue of tlie collapsible life boat be
longing to the submarine. The sub
marine crew were working heroically
to save tlie passengers and after pull
ing them out of the water landed them
I on their own deck At intervale taw
I officer raised his hands shouting te
the people in the water to be <sltu and
they would he saved. By this tune the
Haruios had launched a number of
boats and these assisted the Turkish
boot in (ticking up the remainder of
the passengers, and returning them to
the steamer While the excitement
was at its height and the people were
throwing themselves over the aid* I
heard the officer shout In perfect Sag*
lish,” For Clod's sake, go back te
> our ship, we are not murderers
When the last passenger had bee*
placed aboard the Barulos the sub*
marine pulled in her boat and wltb
*
drew.”
