father in the retail grocery busi
ness, one of Cairo’s pioneer con
cerns.
Mr. Muggridge was a Mason, a
member of the First Methodist
Church and the William Powell
Bible Class. Quiet and unassuming
by nature, he was sincere and rug
godly honest-a loyal husband,
father and friend.
The esteem in which he was held
was clearly evidenced by the Surge
crowd that gathered for the last
rites at the graveside in Cairo cem
etery Sunday afternoon at 4 ’clock.
His pastor, Rev. M. P. Wefcb, was
in charge, assisted by Rev. W. E.
Smith, of the Second Baptist
Church here, and Forsyth 'Bros. Fu
neral Home. Pallbearers were Dave
Bowen, Luther Dollar, Curtis Gan
dy, Willie H. Strickland, -Aris Mix
on and Walter Williams.
Immediate survivors include his
widow, a daughter, Mss Sara Mug
gridge; a sister, Mrs. Frank Key,
Cairo; and six brothers,’W. L., C. R.,
C. N., J. Y, P. C. and S. A. Mug
gridge, all of Cairo.

daughter, Mrs. C. H. Sawyer, 1200
Woodstock Ave., m Anniston,
Thursday, March Hth, and was laid
at final rest there last Saturday.

life at Brewton, Ate., where he was
born, and was a leader in affairs
at Brewton until his retirement
some years ago when he went to
live with his daughter. He was
Clerk of the Court and
at Brewton and was a delegate t®
the Democratic national Conven
tion during the aaiministration of
President Grover Cleveland.

B. E. MALOY SURVIVES AN
ATTACK BY SUBMARINE
IN ATLANTIC.
Barney E. Maloy, a native of
Grady county, and a son of Mrs. I.
E. Maloy and the late Mr. Maloy,
returned home a few days ago to
tell a thrilling story of how he, as
a member of the U. S. Merchant
Marine, survived the torpedoing of
his ship and a 14-day journey in an
open lifeboat in the South Atlantic.
Mrs. L. W. Rigsby, of Miami, for
merly of Cairo, first gave The Mes
senger the news but publication
was withheld pending approval of
the story by the censorship author
ities, in compliance with the regu
lations.
Seaman Maloy has visited Besse
mer, Ala., where he was living
when he entered service, and the
Bessemer Tribume^Advertiser tells
the story as follows of how his ship’s
crew of 77 officers and men was set
adrift in two open lifeboats when
the ship was sunk by an enemy
torpedo, 'thus netting the stage for
an a dven1aire ctfE 14 days which end
ed successfully 1,200 miles away
and the 36 survivors a

bunk. I grabbed a raincoat and a

statiaHL _ There was no panic. Every
maT) "knew what had happened and
what he was supposed to do. Only,
ifenow how it had hap
We were to find out soon
j j enough. On.heck there were 77 men,
&e rcrew We got two boats
f away; ^e-with 40 men aboard, and
j tbe 0 ^ her j n which X went with 36 .
In puffing -over the second boat the
forward fall released, but the aft
fall heM fast and the boat’s rudder
, was damaged. ^Finally, we got away
from the ship, rowing hard to put
distance between us. One of the
men ldt <nut a yell and pointed. He
had sighted the periscope of the
sub that got us, and presently the
craft came to the surface some dis
tance away. From its conning tow
er an ofSioer hafted us, and soon
a boat was coming out with an
other officer and several men. They
wanted our captain, who was in the
other boat. The submarine officer
spoke English almost! without an
accent, and be kept .asking ques
tions. Somebody spoke up and said
the last time 13ve captain was seen
was right after the ship was hit.
We were sort of worried, because
the captain was in that other boat
and we knew it, but nobody intend
ed for the sub crew to know. It
took them until ten o'clock to de
cide that we were telling the truth.
Meanwhile nean vnue > the the men men fmm Irom the the sub
marine managed to salvage a name

in S on a hfe , raft after the ship
went down
l(A Alter -, a while, Maloy , went on,
“the two boats were allowed to*
pul1 away and hoisttheir sails - The
men in them knew the y wer « f ^ing
a terrible ordeal, with perhaps
death waiting at the end of hope
less days, or maybe just over the
crest of the next wave. There was
still no panic, for panicky men don’t
go to sea in wartime.” One of the
officers in Maloy’s boat had served
aboard a sailing vessel, and he
knew the seal and navigation. He
set a course and held the boat to
it.
“And that,” said Maloy, “was
about all.”
And that was about all. Fourteen
days of short rations, varied occa
sionally with a diet of fish caught
overside. Fourteen days of eye
straining search for a shadow on the
horizon or a plum.' of smoke in the
sky. Fourteen days of waiting. On
the last day land a as sighted. That
officer was a good navigator, and
he brought his ship into port. It
wasn’t much of a ship by then, a
dirty, battered littl - life-boat with
a sail, but the men it carried were
still fighting men, ; ad as you read
this, it may be th; some of them
are at sea again, : canning cargo
boats on the South Atlantic run, or
in a convoy bound for Russia.
The other. boat? Nothing much
happened to them either. They
landed in nine days.* Maybe they
were just lucky.
