At any rate he reached the side of the vessel and explode. . torpedo against it. A frightful hole was. torn in the gunboat and 1t went down in less than five minutes. As the water at the point was shallow, nearly all of the men on the Ho--atonic escaped drowning by climbing the fnasts, the death list reaching only half dozen.
 But the Hundley never returned to her wharf. Tn the i--oment of her vtc- tory, her old weakness asserted itself and she went to the bottom with her loyal but fll-fated crew. Some years after the war had closed government divers who were clearing Instructions from Chareiston harbor. found the hulk of the Housatonic and very close to 1t was the iron shell of the Hund- ley. encasing the skeletons of her last seven victims.
 While the HundIey. wrought greater destruction among It's friends than its foes. 1t demonstrated the possibil- ity of a successful submarine for war use. The numerous successful trials of the boat showed what could be ac- complished under favorable conditions even with the crude methods that were available for manipulating the queer ship. The lack of facilities for stor- ing an adequate supply of air was proDdDly the Bredtest hanoicdp suhSr ed by the boat. The crew speedily weakening through the exhausting of the air supply, were without the strength to make fight to raise the bots when they discovered they were in trouble.
 Submarines were thought of long before the Hundley and tests had been made of several types, but 1t remained for the boat built at Mobile by the Confederacy to first try conclusions in actual warfare, and 1t Is unquestion- ably true that this craft paved the way for more practical results that have been obtained ---.ce.

CONFEDERATES BUILT FIRST
 SUCCESSFUL SUBMARINE BOAT
Story of the Hundley, or Fish, Can Be Recalled by Many of the Veterans Attending the Rich
 mond Reunion This Week.

History will credit the American civil war not only with the production of the nrst iron-clad warships but with the first successful war subma- rine. The story of the floating ar mored forts Monitor and Merrimac Is known of every school boy in the land. but the exploits of the Confed- crate submarine vessel Hundley, or Fish, as 1t was sometimes called, are not so widely famed though they were of vast importance.
 Many of the veterans who will at tend the Confederate reunion at Rich mond this week will recall the fame of the Hundley, and some of them may treasure among the memories of the war period a minds picture of the queer old craft. If they visit James, town they will have an opportunity to see the difference between the almost forgotten Hundley and the modern submarines, although the comparison must be through their recollection of the Confederate boat. for there is no model of 1t in existence as far as Ia known.
 Simon Lake, the inventor of one of the most promising of modern sub- marine war types, who has built number of these vessels for Russia and other powers. declares that no one factor played more prominent part in pointing the way to the mod ern successful submarines than did the performance of the Confederate ves- sel--tragic though it was from first to last, and intensely dramatic in It's finale. It was the Hundley that dem- onstrated to all men the possibilities that lay in vessels of its class. and, although 1t was crude affair at best, 1t gave such a creditable account of Itself that interest was renewed in a problem that had been engaging mans attention for years.
 It is a curious fact that the Con- federate government, whose naval es- tablishment of all its interests was the most deficient In resources. should have produced the first boat that was to any extent successful as subma- rinc, and when 1t is further consid- cred that today this class of ship lacks

laughed and scoffed went to,' the

opened and apologized are ready
and eager to get in on the ground
for 1907. At the close oflthe, SEES

speaker had kept the great assembly
listening, laughing and cheering for
two hours as he rnfolded the battle
between the idols of the hour and
the ideals of the ages. Some one
said, "This is like a revival The

replied, This is revival, social
revival" Every community needs
such social revival. The old Feast
of Tabernacies was such social re-
vival. Time turns backward in its
flight and for a few brief golden; days
we are boys and girls again. We
dream and laugh and cheer, and
spoon, and faith we need it, some
thing to break the nightmare Of
drudgery and monotony. It's a
