On board of her at the time was her
| inventor. John P. Holland: Chief En-
gineer Lowe. of the American Navy; Me-
chanical Cable Engineer Addison. Elec-
trician Myers and Gunner Linderman.
Mr. Lowe was on board in his official
capacity and will send report of the
trial to Secretary of the Navy Long.
At the time the Holland was running
in the water at depth of nine feet.
Above the water two small flags at
tached to iron STATS twelve feet high
marked the positions Of the bow and
stern of the boat. There was a trifie
of a sea on, and the waves washed over
the flags every few seconds.
From the Staten Island shore the big
three-masted schooner. Lois V. Chaples.
of New York, lumber laden. came
sweeping down toward the submerged
boat under full sail. Both the Holland
and the schooner were heading for the
center of the narrows. Those on the
schooner did not know of the presence
of the Holland and the crew of the lat
ter. sealed up in the boat nine feet be-
low the surface. knew nothing of the on
coming vessel.
The tug Standard. which was follow
ing the Holland with a number of In
vited guests. was headed toward the
schooner. The captain of the Standard
yelled to the man at the wheel on the
Chaples to go about. but the wind blow
ing hard against him, prevented the
words from being heard until the
schooner was within forty feet of the
submerged boat. The wheel was showed
hard a-port, but the heavily-laden vessel
did not respond quickly. Slowly her
nose swung into the wind. but she did

When it seemed certain that she
would run upon the fran craft. the Hol-
land suddenly appeared on the surface
Mr.. Holland. In the coming tower
heard the whistles of the tug and saw
the big, high bows of the schooner al
most over him.
The inventor signaled to Engineer
Addison to go ahead at full speed, and
turning his craft away from the ap-
preaching schooner, ran out of danger.
The escape was a matter of seconds.
The Holland left her anchorage ut the
loot OF Fffty-fifth Street, brooklyn, OF 2
p. m, and ran awash down the Eay
Ridge shore to a point OF Seventeen
Street. where. after her ballast vas ad-
