CHOICE MISCELLANY


During the recent muueuTers be

One OF the most successful was the
building OF an exact replica OF the
coming tower and II short length of
the top OF the submarine OF canvas
material. This was painted the same
color ms the submarine and was at.
tAched TO the top OF the craft. The
submarine then Travelled toward one
OF the hostile vessels. and when with
In range. and MS conspicuously rs posi-.
Bile, the canvas structure was released
1t Immediately toated to the surface
OF the water. Directly the submarine
Ind discarded the mock structure Il
sunk again and, completely altering its
course. approached the vessel from
another quarter.
This canvas affair, being Conspicu-
GUS, Immediately attracted the war
ships attention, and a severe FIRE was
directed upon It. While this firing was
In progress the submarine arose again
TO the surface on the opposite side Of
the warship and succeeded In launch
ing torpedo unobserved and nj close
range. The ruse was therefore com.
pletely successful
