Escape
BY Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH, England, Oct. 16.--
The crew of sixteen on board the sub
marine boat No. had remarkably
narrow escape this afternoon. The boat

Head and was submerged when water
leaked through the exhaust pipe and
caused an accumulation of gas. A
slight explosion followed, demolishing
the machinery. The crew, however.
managed to raise the vessel, which came
up stern first. A government gunboat
near by went to her assistance and
saved all the crew. The submarine was
towed in here for repairs.
