NE day in the winter of 1917 the men on a ship

of the American Navy looked out over the gray waves of the Atlantic Ocean and saw a lifeboat tum

bling about in the stormy sea. They lowered one of their boats and rowed out to the tossing lifeboat. There was only one man in it. He was a Chinaman, and he was half dead with cold, hunger, and thirst. He was the only man left alive from a ship that a German submarine had sunk.
