British Craft Going to Rescue of the Liner Nicosian Flew American Flag. An astounding story of alleged high handedness nnd almost unbelievable cruelty on the part of llrltlsh seamen during tho shelling of tho Leyland liner Nicosian by a German submarine on April 19 was told to-day by Dr. C. 11. Hanks of Memphis, Tenn., who arrived In New York to-day on tho steamship I-aplnnd. Dr. Hanks, an American veterinarian now In tho service of the llrltlsh Gov ernment. was a passenger on thn Nicosian.

Whcl she got near, according to his story of tho sea trogedy, ahe low ered the American flag and raised thn llrltlsh Jack. Then tho submarine, a monster In size, began shelling her. The patrol boat replied and sank the submarine, but tho eighteen Ucr mans on board got out through tho conning tower and began floundering In tho water. It was then, according to Dr. Hanks, that the Englishmen on board tho patrol bout, thoroughly en raged by tho shelling of tho Nicosian and tho uttack made on them, ntood on deck and fired with rifles on the Hwlmmlng Germans, all of whom sank. "I was on board tho Nicosian when slio left New Orleans for Queens town," he said. "At 2.30 o'clock on Aug. 19 wo were stopped by a Ger- mun submarlno off tho coast of Ire land. Instantly tho Captain of tho Nicosian aent out a wireless call for help. Tho submarlno mcantlmu kept ciccplng up on us, and tho Captain of tho Nicosian ordered full epeed ahead. "The commander of the submarine warned us that If wo did not stop ho our lifeboats and at tho name time would lire. We then began manning tho submarine began shelling us, About forty shots were flrod and be fore the bombardment was over tho Nicosian began to alnk. "In tho midst of tho shelling we saw a boat approaching. Sho una flying thn American (lag, but as she got nearer wo rocognlzod her as a craft which beforo thn war had been a Urlt ish tramp steamship. As she came up cloio the American flag was pulled down and the llrltlsh ring run up "Right at that time the scene was a wild ono, Tho submarlno bogan sholl tug '.he patrol boat. All of those from tho Nicosian wore drifting about in llfo boats. "Tho mon on the patrol boat seemed to bo In a white heat of fury. With tho comparatively small arms on board thoy lot loose at the big sub marine, and down sho went. Thon persons on the llrltlsh boat began tiring on the men In tho wntcr. I must say I felt little pity for the Qormans, who had only a short time beforo had boon seeking our lives."
