MOST THRILLING
Tale as Rescue Told by
Engineer Kimball.
IS HARRIS BLfIiViRLEBS?
Public Urged to Suspend Judge
ment for the Present.
Philadelphia, Nov. 22. -
j Granville Kimball, chief engin
neer of the U. S. S. Leonidas,
which was convoying the crui
ser Maria Teresa when the lat
ter was abandoned on Nov. 1, ar
rived in this city today.
He spoke in high terms of the
efforts of Lieut.-Con’d Harris to
s£ve the Maria Teresa, and also
of his work in saving the crew
when he found it was necessary
to abandon the ship.
“It. may be al! right to talk,”
said Kimball, “hut when an of
fiver sees the water gitting into
his ship and putting out the
fires, with no means of further
protection, the winds and sea
increasing in fury and night
coming on, Le will do just about
what Cenimander Harris did.
‘ One human life is worth far
more than that old scrap heap,
for that is all that the Maria
Teresa was. It will be on’y fair
for the public tc suspend judge
ment until the court in inquiry
hears and decides the caso.”
Kimball tells the following
thrilling story of the storm and
its’Consc quences :
“Toward morning of Nov. 1,
the sea was high and the stiff
breeze developed into a gale The
heavy sea caused the Teresa’s
upper plates to work loose and
the water leaked through. The
water washed the fine dust coal
from her bunkers into her bileg
es an 1 this clogged the strainers
of the pumps. The water came
in faster than the pumps could
free it, and the crew proceeded
to abandon the ship.
“Harris ran. the American en
sisn to the mainmast of the Ter
esa, which was a prearranged
signal for us to come within
hailing distance? ft was ex.
tremely dangerous for the Leon
idas to turn about and get into
the trough of the sea, but when
we saw through our glasses that
the men were jumping overboard
from the Teresa’s stern we de
termined to go back,even at the
risk of losing our ship.
“We did go back and circled
around the Teresa’s stern, Mean
time the Merritt had dropped to
the Teresa’s stern to save the
crew. We could render no fur
ther assistance than to proceed
to the windward of the ship
and pour several barrels of oil
on the water. After we had cir
cled the Teresa thsee times and
had got ahead of her again, she
signaled to the Vulcan: “Tins
boat load will be the last to
leave ; as soon as we leave h< i
you may ‘cast oft.’
“Shortly afterwaid the \ ul
can cast off the lines/’

stocks of various corporations
for the account benefit and profit
of M. 8. Quary.

fully buy and sell stocks, know
ing that the said Hopkins was
cashier of the People’s b.u.k.
The third indictment charges

Quay and Richard R. Quay with
conspiracy to convert to their

Senator Quay, with his s< n,
Richard R. Quay, arrived here
from St. Lucie, Fla., today, to
which place they went over a
week ago. They declined to dis
cuss the indictments found
against them.
The senator and his son were
for some time closeted with their
counsel and it is probable they
will appear in court tomorrow
to plead to the charges contain
ed in the indictments, and as
District Attorney Graham will
press for an immediate trial,
tnere is some likelihood of the
case being called for trial on
Wednesday.
