Capt. Larin of the ill-fated British
collier Kirkwood, which the American
liner President Harding rammed and
sank in the mouth of the Elbe Satur
day during a heavy fog, today said he
and his crew owed their lives to the
presence of mind of Capt. Beebe of the
President Harding.
He described how Capt. Beebe, ram
ming his bow far Into the hull of the
Kirkwood at his stern, kept his ship
at full steam ahead for about two
minutes to give the Kirkwood a lateral
propulsion of its own, which kept it
afloat momentarily before it filled with
water and sank. The entire crew, with
the exception of one fireman, who was
drowned, were rescued.
Examination of the President Harding
showed that a hole seven feet long and
a foot wide had been tom In the
liner’s starboard side near the bow
about a yard above the water line. The
Kirkwood sank seven minutes after
the collision. The fireman, who was
lost, was unable to reach the deck in
time. He was 56 years old and his
shipmates said he had intended to re
