STRANGE STORY OF
THE GREAT CONFLICT
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON, Feb. 5.-—A story that
rivals fiction has reached London
from a remote section of the Shetland
Islands:
A mother, watching over her sick
child in a oottage on the shore of a
sea inlet, saw a German U-boat sub
merge in the channel way. During
the day the doctor had called saying
that a British warship was exjpected
to anchor in the inlet before mtfhy
hours. This meant peril to the 800
lives of the crew of the battleship.
Leaving her child alone in the cot
tage, the mother made her way to the
postoffice and reported what she had
seen. Returning quickly to the side
of the child, she found it dead.
Before long a British mine sweeper
entered the inlet. As it did so the
submarine came to the surface.
There was a sharp fight The mine
sweeper gave a plunge and went
down. Boatmen from the shore res
cued the drowning crew.
The submarine prepared to depart.
When- it reached the outward head
land it came face to face with the
| British warship. Another battle en
sued and the submarine was damaged
and captured. On board the U boat
was Mangus Laurensen, husband of
the heroic mother whose baby had
died. Laurensen had been captured
! the day before when the submarine
sank his ship.
Laurensen and his wife that same
afternoon sat in their cottage brood
ing over the death of their child, yet
happy that the father himself had
been spared. A knock sounded at the
door. The captain of the battleship
was ushered in. He warmly congrat
ulated Mrs. Laursensen for her hero
ism, asking:
“Will you accept an immediate in
stallment of your reward?"
“As you please," she answered.
The captain turned to the door.
As He did so, a British jacktar enter
ed holding at arms length a flaxen
haired, blue eyed infant.
“Will you adopt him ?" asked the
Captain.
The husband and wife readily and
willingly assented.
The child, concludes the story, had
been rescued from a British steamer
which had fallen prey to a submarine.

NEWS NOTES
When F. H. Bailey and George
Richardson left Seward on the Ala
meda two very fine boys were lost to
Seward, at least for a time. The
reason this is said is to make public
the feeling of the people of this town
that the Railroad Commission seems
to have had an extraordinary knack
of getting rattling good fellows on its
staff.
A racing man has now arrived in
the city and has made the suggestion i
that the Johnston ranch at Mile Six
be purchased and converted into a
field for sporting events. He believes
the population which Seward will
have in a short time would warrant
the transaction. The matter was re
ferred to this paper for mention
through a prominent business man
who does not wish to have his name
used.
Ernest B. Hussey, inspector gener
al of the Scottish Rite Masons, has
returned to Seattle from Cordova and
will not visit Seward this time. This
information came to the Gateway
after the publication of the news that
Mr. Hussey was in the territory.
Kelly Olson, whom Colonel Revell
describes as a prospector and guide,
arrived in the city last evening from
Cooper creek. Mr. Olson reports
plenty of moose on the lower Kenai.
The man with the extraordinary mix
ture of Swede-Irish names is a pop
ular oldtimer in several camps.

Charley Nutter has come to the city
from Mile 23 for a visit.

“Quality First”
A Strenuous
Objection—
If your coal dealer de
livered only three-quar
ters of a ton. of coal .
and charged you for a
full ton, you would ob
ject—and refuse "to pay
the bill. The same
principle applies in
the fuel consumption
of a heater—why use a
heater that wastes one
quarter of your
fuel?
Great Western Oalc.
consumes all carbon and gases-none es
capes up chimney. Scientific flue system
discharges heated air through slotted open
ings right over fire; and through mica door
you can clearly see the shooting flames —
representing the burning gases. In actual
use, you can feel the increased heat ——
and decreased amount of coal used Be
convinced by an inspection.
