carried our blue lights and a lantern I suggested making for the forerlgglng When we got to the saloon deck forward the water was just creeping- up on the deck aft and the stern was sinking rapidly The Incline of the deck was so steep that It was like climbing a steep hill to make our way forward and we had all wo could do to keep from slipping back The water climbed up right after us at our heels g I saw Mr Williams catch at the port rail and hang on half over tho i side I took to the rigging and climbed up as far as the masthead light about 100 feet The sill was standing with her nose

IHere Ire the accounts of the two men who kicked the Republic
away from under their feet as she dropped into her final resting place itBY CAPT WILLIAM SEALBY
I dont went to say anything about the collision Itself or the happen-
ings
¬
oftiT except In a general way Others havo told those things But I
can tell just what happened on hoard tho Republic as she went downI Mr Williams anti I hail arranged to stick to the ship until she should
sink or be beached Tho derollct destroyer Seneca the revenue cutterGresham the steamship Itirncsala and the tug Scully were standing bytheSeneca and Oreshnm towing All four vessels had their searchllghta trained-
on the Republic It was very dark anti somewhat foggy
Mr Williams and I woro on tho bridge We were quite comfortable
with our overcoats and blankets anti really did not think the Republic wask
going down BO soon Doth of us were tired out and somewhat stupid from
loss of sleep There was same wind and Quito a little sea
PELT VESSEL SINKINGSuddenly wo heard a terrible rumble amt crack aft and below The
stern began to go down rapidly Then I think I turned to Mr Wllllami fi
and asked him what he thought about it
Well Captain he replied I dont think It will be a long run Lcta p
make a sprint for 1trt VAr f
All right said h When you are ready let her go rLet us burn a blue light said Williams This I did Then I fired
five shots from my sUcliambeied revolver to attract tho attention of those
on the neighboring vessels In case they should not see the blua light t
Then Mr Williams nail I ran from tho bridge to the saloon deck i
making for the foremast We carried our blue lights and a lantern Isuggested making for the forerlgglng
When we got to the saloon deck forward the water was just creeping-
up on the deck aft and the stern was sinking rapidly The Incline of thedeck was so steep that It was like climbing a steep hill to make our way
forward and we had all wo could do to keep from slipping back The
water climbed up right after us at our heels g
I saw Mr Williams catch at the port rail and hang on half over tho iside I took to the rigging and climbed up as far as the masthead lightabout 100 feet The sill was standing with her nose out of the water and r
the foremast was at such an angle that If I had dropped I would havelanded about amidships of the deck
COAT WAS 1IFRPIU SERVERI rested at the masthead light a moment while I took another blue
light from my pocket and tried to light It The light was wet Then I firedthe last shot from my revolver just as the water swirled up and caught me f
under the armpitsFortunately I had my coat buttoned and my revolver and my binocu-
lars
¬
In my pockets kept the skirts down The water forced air up under thecoat and It acted like a lifepreserver
1 was afloat spinning around like a top for a little bit f Then theship went under and I went down in a whirl of roaring seething waterIho noise anti power of the whirlpool were terrible But I shot to the
surfiee pretty soon and tried to get my coat off
I came up In a mass of floating wreckage out of which I managed to
catch a couple of spars Then I got hold of a large hatch and pulled my-
self
¬
up onto it where I lay spreadeagle fashion
The search lights were directed on the spot where the Republic had
gone down and everything about mo was light as day Hut I was too low In
the water for tho search lights to reach for any length of time anti the men-
In the boats dirt not set me After what seemed an Interminable time I v
felt myself getting numb and Indifferent hr
WAVED TOWEL AS SIGNALI roused myself got out my revolver loaded It with greased cartridges
and fired It again Just then I saw a towel float by I grabbed It andwaved It aloft and the searchlights picked It out and It showed like a signalA few minutes later a boat from thaGreshani picked me up 1 found they
