DIED LIKE SALVATIONISTS.
Ensign Pugmire, a Salvation 'Army officer, declares that all his comrades died like Salvationists. Commissioner Recs ran back to rescue his wife, and another Salvationist tried to save him, but failed. Major Atwell swam half a mile carrying his wife on his back, then when he was succumbing through tho cold and exhaustion, the wiPe kept her husband's head up. Both were _aved. Another Salvationist described walking down the side of tbo careened ship just as if he were walking down a sloping beach into the sea. There was no disturbance, and little panic. Once the ship turned sideways it was simply like entering the water" in order to take a swim.
