New York, Oct SILT has been dem,
onstrated now beyond all doubt that the
new submarine signaling system which
the Cunard Steamship Company In.
stalled recently on the Lusania Is a
success and il will soon be- put ON all
of the Transatlantic steamships. The
trial was made ON the last eastward
trip of the Lucania. The liner came
into port last night and today Captain
J. b. Watt reported to the officers OF
the company.
The submarine system is the simplest
of all wireless communication between
vessels at sea. II consists Of two tanks
two sixteen.inch tubes--one on each
side of the bottom OF the ship. The
tubes are connected with transmitters.
From tha tanks, one ON the star.
board side and the other on the port
side, there is wire running up to the
bridge OF the officer ON watch. lie can
put over his head the same Kind of u
receiver n the telephone girls Use in
the central Office.
Ii vessel is approaching another
and both have the system working, each
can locate the other without atmos.
pheric interference.
At present the lightship at the ap'
proach OF our harbor are fitted up with
the system. as are also the ones in
Liverpool harbOr. II was the last trip
to the other side that the I.ucanta had
her first chance to test the bells in the
lights at the mouth of the Mersey river.
We got the first signal" said Cap.
tain Watt today, about ten miles from
the light. IL was very faint on the
port side. Then We swung around about
two points and got better results on
the starboard side. That proved be'
yond all doubt that the system is a
success.

New York, October Sl.-Almost craxed
by the narrowing experience with hun
dreds Of rats which besiegd them dur.
ing voyage from Java to New York.
fifteen men comprising the crew of the
steamship Sabine drew their pay and re.
signed today when the boat reached
port.
Timothy Pyecroft, fireman on the So.
bine, said the rats became so bold after
several days at sea that they attacked
the crew, and for two weeks the sailors
had nightly battles with the rodents.
He said the sailors finally rigged up
hammocks out of bolts of canvas given
them by the captain and by sleeping in
these managed to avoid the rodents.
This is the story Pyecroft told today.
we left Java with 5000 tons of
sugar. The rats must have come aboard
while the cargo was being loaded.
When we had been at sea several days
thE started crawling over US while
We were asleep. When the rats began
biting us We made a complaint to the
captain.
by this time the rats were over
running the whole boat and had even
got into the officers quarters. 1t was
almost worth a mau's life to 20 into
the hold. There were hundreds of rats
down there, and some of the men were
in fear least hole be gnawed in the
boat.
AS We neared this port the animals
becama a menace. We fastened the
matches and even burned charcoal, the
fumes of which kept them off the deck.
