Good Spirits,

Coco spirits don't all come from Ken

aIAN SHOT FROM TORPEDO
TUBE
One Body Missing From the Wreck
ed Submarine Boat.

New York. April IA special cable
dispatch from london to The Sun says:
The Portsmouth correspondent of The
Daily Mail sends a circumstantiaI &c
count Of the raising Of the submarine
boat A T.. which was recently sunk
with all on board by being run down
while submerged by the steamer Ber-
wick Castle. off the Nab l~ightship. The
fact that the BOAT had been raised was
in several papers on Satur-
cay and yesterday. but il was officially
~contradicted.
The News correspondent reafirms
that the boat was raised, and gives de-
tails OF an examination of the interior
OF the hull. He says il was known
thaT eleven men were on board when
the collision occurred. The divers on
Friday night u only ten bodies.
Naval officers are inclined to think
that the eleventh man was placed In
me torpedo discharging tube and thus
released, the object being to have him
regain the surface with the view TO.
getting aid to rescue his companions
from the sunken vessel.
According to the correspondent the
boat was raised and emptied of water.
IL was then found that a value In her
side was leaking and that she was
gradually refilling. She was remove
10 shallow water at a place called
the Ledge. of Bembridge, and was al
lowed to sink to the rocS bottom. The
cover of the coming tower had been
previously removed. and the defective
valve was repaired by a diver of the
name Of Karissen. who made three
visits TO the sunken vessel.
II had been suggested that there
would nave been an explosion had the
water come in contact with the gaso-
line. Karlssen states that there was
no explosion The water-tight doors
had been closed. and the crew were en-
closed in the secondary chambers. II
Is surmised that IL was impossible for
them TO work the apparatus and regain
the surface. The correspondent pro-
| ceeds:
1T will be remembered that the A. l..
was defective In some respects, espe-
ciaHy In her diving and rising mechan-
ISM 1t is evident that water must
nave percolated into her inner compart-
ment, as small fishes and erabs also
were found therein. The bodies were
recognizable. but had suffered from
being eaten by crabs. In the last visit
or the diver IL was a~scertained that a
message written on a sheet torn from q
notebook a been left by the crew.
The wording OF the message has not yet
been made known"
During the manoeuyres Of the United
states submarine boats off Newport
dogs Were shot out of the torpedo tubes
and came to the surface alive.

High Pressure Days.

Men and ONE alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never were the
demands of business. the wants of the
family. the requirements of society,
more numerous. The first effect of the
.praiseworthy effort to keep up with
these things is commonly seen in q
weakened or debilitated condition of
the nervous system. which results in
dyspepsia. defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete p~rostratjon. It is
clearly seen that what is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone to the nerves. and keep the diges-
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge
we can recommend Hoods Sarsapariila
for this purpose. 1t acts on all the vita
organs, builds up the whole system
and fits men and women for these high
pressure days.
