BENEATH SURG|NG WATERS
The Famous Submarine Popose Rammed the Government Tug
Nina at Newport and Came Out Practically Unniured.

then the tug began to list TO starboard
rushed into the hole made by the Por-
poise.
Chief Boatswaln's Mate Sullivan at once
gave orders TO prepare TO beach the tug,
while he signalled for full speed ahead.
The beach was only about 100 yards away,
and Sullivan fortunately made a sandy
place.
Those aboard the submarine had expe.
rienced about the same sensations as
those on the tug.
The shock OF the collision threw them
off their feet, but as soon as they could
regain their footing they responded deftly
TO Lieut.. Nelson's orders.
The Porpoise was up and her men OUT
side on deck before the Nina had been
beached
Commander Gleaves arrived from the
torpedo station with the tug Chickasaw
and the Vesuvius. Divers patched up the
Nina and she was pumped out as she lay
on the beach which makes out from Cod
dington point.
The Nina is OF 357 tons. built OF iron.
and has just been fitted out at the navy
yard al New York for use as a tender for
the submarines.
The Porpoise Is the best-known subma-
rine in the world and commanded by the
best known submarine officer In the
United States navy.
Ii was the Porpoise In which President
Roosevelt made his trip In oyster Bay
last summer, and IL was Lieut.. Nelson
who was in command.

Of expending the relief appropriation
OF S2,5o0,o0O authorized by congress-,
