Corporal Inkster, son of Captain Inkster, of the Janie Seddon, was on the transport Marqnette when she was blown up. At. last advices he was at Salonika. He writes n, thrilling account of the sinking of the transport. He was appointed submarine look-out, but was off duty sick at the time of the disaster. He expresses some surprises at ihe number of lifeboats aboard the ship when she sank. "If we had been detailed to the boats (he writes) there would havebeen very few in the water for over six hours." With some literary skill Cpl. Inkster describes the final plunge of the Marqnette. The foulest part of the whole business was the cheering of.the submarine's crew at their ghastly work, while men and women were drowning all around them. Messrs. A. L. Wilson and.
