SICK MIDSHIPMEN.
Several Cases of Tonsilitis And
Mumps At The Naval
Academy.

Fifteen midshipmen are suffering
with tonsilitis and a larger number
are afflicted with mumps. This does
not represent the whole number who
have been i'll. as quite q number who
have been affected have so far recov-
cred as TO be able to be taken of the
sick list and each morning the sick
report receives new additions Ii is
quite likely that the cases of tonsilitis
were contracted at the Army Navy
game at Philadelphia last Saturday.
A number of the patients are in the
hospital and others are in their rooms.
Some of the tonsilitis patients are
affected so lightly that they are allow
ed to continue about their regular
work. In none of the cases is there
any element of danger.
Medical Inspector II. Z. Ames said
in regard to the cases that they had
arisen from the lack of poper sanitary
conditions at the Academy or from
any cause that could have been pre-
vented. The climatic conditions of
late in this vicinity have been such
as to induce many cases of the kind
not only among the midshipmen but
among residents of the Academy and
Annapolis. OF course a large number
of persons in close contact as is the
case with the midshipmen lends itself
readily to the extension of any illness
of the slightest contagius nature.

DEERY IS A HERO.
The Torpedo Boat Saved BY
Boatswain's Swim of One
Hundred Yards In
High Sea.

Boatswain Deery has saved by his
heroism the submarine torpedo boat
Adder. /" responding to call for vol
unteers and swimming one hundred
wards with q line to the Adder"
from the naval tug PEORIA" which
was towing the torpedo boat and pull
ing the hawser after him. The "Peo-
ria'' and Adder" arrived at Norfolk,
Va, yesterday, but the Peoria" left
last night to aid in floating the No
cassin, y which is ashore at Currituck
high and dry upon the beach, and Is
slightly damaged. The Adder Is
leaking badly.
When Boatswain Deery responded
to the call for q volunteer to swim to
the Adder . thirty-four mile gale
was bowling and heavy seas crashing
over the Peoria, " burying the drift.
ing submarine boats beneath tons of
water Deery, with Q slender line,
fastened around his waist, plunged
into the ocean and battled with wind
and tide for q full hundred yards,
finally reaching the Adder" and
gaining her deck. There he hauled a
thick hawser aboard by means of the
life line and made it fast.
At this time the Adder was Delng
tossed about like cork one minute
and driven far beneath the surface the
next, rolling and wallowing in such q
manner as to make it impossible to
retain a position upon her scanty
decking, but Deery held on and ac-
complished his work. Then he went
back to the tug boat hand overland
on the hawser. 1t was said that Boat
swain Deery will be commended at
once to the President for bravery.
The Adder is leaking and her cleo
trical machinery is badly damaged.
Lieutenant English, commanding
officer of the Peoria. - says the little
boats towed very well indeed until
they were just off the Virginia Capes.
There the heavy seas running at the
time proved too much for the frail
towing bits of the Adder which
was towing her, following the tug.
They snapped short and the two sub
marine vessels went adrift.
