SUBMARINES DIVE.
Porpoise Sank with Officers and Crew
10 Depth of 12O Feet.

Newport, r. Naval circles are In
terested and thrilled by the story OF
the narrow escape of Lieut.. Charles
p. Nelson and Lieut. Lloyd Shapley and
the crew of eight men on the sub.
marine boat Porpoise off Brentons
reef lightship Monday afternoon.
Their battle for life at the bottom
OF the sea adds new and exciting
chapter to the brief history OF sub.
marine navigation.
The Porpoise was taken out to make
an attack upon the Stiletto and the
Peoria, and having run out submerged
she came to the surface to get her
bearings. She was submerged again,
the gauge being set at 20 feet.
AT this depth the valves of the trim
ming tanks closed as usual but they
continued to leak, and the tanks con-
tnuing to take in water the Porpoise
still settled. to the CONSERVATION of
those within her. till she had reached
a depth of 1870 feet.
At this uvpth -tho-Vro1ouro q" tho
boat was great and 1t was not long
before she began to leak at the seams
and in a little while the officers and
men were standing in water several
inches deep.
This rendered the situation very seri
Gus, but the officers and men kept their
heads, believing that they would yet
be able to control the boat.
How to raise her, though, was a
problem. as she was far below a depth
where hand pumps are supposed to be
effective, owing to the great pressure.
Lieut. Nelson ordered the tanks
blown out in the usual manner, but
owing to the leaking valves and the
great pressure this could not be accom-.
plished, meanwhile the leaking in.
creased until there was quite flow
of water in through the forward tor.
pedo tube.
Blowing out the tank in the ordinary
manner having failed, Lieut.. Nelson
ordered the last resort to the hand
pumps and they were worked for Is
minutes as they were never worked

greatest effort at the depth would
prove of avail in exerting sufficient
pressure on the water in the trimming
tank to counteract the external pres

Perfect system, though, still pre-.
vailed in the submarine prison and
finally the men were rewarded by
feeling slight buoyancy and then sud,
denly the boat shot upward making
the ascent of 1870 feet in less than a
minute, which clearly shows that the
work of the men must have been eX.
traordinary.

Harold Bolce, in the Book!ovcrs'
Magazine. says: "The Chnaman Is
the embodiment of the business spirit,
and the established principles of traffic
permeate even the soldier ranks. The
secret of Chna's inglorious military
career in recent years is that the rank
and file had not been paid. The China
mans ruling passion for business dis
played itself in the war with Japan.
A general in the Japanese Army told
me that after the first fire from his
regiment of infantry, the Chinese
troops arrayed against him disap-
peared like Il mist. Not long there
after they appeared in the rear of his
army, retailing vegetables to his SOL
diers. Nevertheless, ne was confident
there was no lack of bravery among
these thrifty deserters. Inquiry de-
veloped that they had not been paid
their wages, and that they lived in no
expectation that their miserable cash
allotment as heroes would ever come
their way. When they could coin an
opportunity into profit, the alternative
of ingloriously facing the firing line
without pay naturally failed to kindle
martial zeal"
