About 1885 Captain Stone came to
Boston and has lived here ever since.
In the % years that has made this
city his home he has done a great
deal of submarine work at many
points along the Atlantic coast as far
south as South Carolina and through
out New England as well.
Captain Stones life has been filed
with hairbreadth escapes from death,
but the nearest that he ever came to
losing his life under water, he says,
was while working on the wreck of
the steamship Moravian of the Allen
line in the year 1884 off Mud island
in the bay Of Fundy, near Yarmouth,
N. s.. with four or five other divers
in the dead of winter.
The ship lay in about 20 feet of wa
ter, with the upper deck above the
surface. and on this the air pumps of
the divers were lashed The two men
tending the lines for Captain Stone
were stationed on a raft constructed
within the ship, about at the level of

In some way his air hose became,
entangled and was broken short off
from the air pump on the upper deck.
Away below in the black depths of the
water Captain Stone heard a sudden

large cap is snapped on a gun.
He made leap for the combings
of the BOBBY hatch, so as to pull him
self up; but he failed and fell back

of his heavy diving suit upon him.
His tenders on the raft were in
ignorance Of what had occurred, ana
ne couldn't send signal to them, be-
cause his signal line had gone up with
the rope used In hosting the cargo
he was sending up. But word was
soon sent TO them of the nature of the
accident and they quickly got to work.
Captain Stone had made another eff
fort to catch the combings of the
hatch when he felt himself being
hauled upward by his tenders.
Although fast losing consciousness
through lack of air. he kept his left
arm extended so as to feel for the
stanchions and push himself away
from them in case he struck any, for
he was still in total darkness. But he
was hauled up safely and escaped any
more serious consequences of the adj
venture than swallowing quantity OF
salt water that had found its way into
his helmet while he was struggling for
life.

 Springfield

Springfield, Mass, Aug. 29.-The Mechanics bade farewell to Spring field for the season here on Saturday. making their departure after winning and losing one. The Mechanics play ed like pennant winners in the first game taking away victory 6-3. Their second performance was reversal or form, the Ponies winning easily 11-4, the game being called at the end of the eighth because of darkness.
 Chief" Snyder was on the slap TOT the Mechanics in the opener, pitch ing his first game in weeks. Though he parted with nine hits, he kept the bingless we'll scattered, the Ponies get ting in a telling blow only in the final inning. Christopher, who IS destined to go higher up, started the game for the Ponies but gave way during the fourth inning to Case. In that, stanza McCann's invaders gath cred five runs on Jackson's single, Ladd's crack to center for bag, a pass to Miller, Crooks double SCOT ing Jackson and Ladd, Kecher,s triple scoring Miller to Crook, walk to Snyder, and a double steal exeeu- ted by the latter and Kocher.

 Wednesday the Mechanics invade New Britain for two more games.
 It's life or death for McCann's crowd this week. If they can do better than an even break with the Aviators, the fans will be willing to concede theR a look in for the rag.
 Waterbury received a severe set back Saturday by losing double bill to the White Wings, but they re- gained little prestige yesterday by taking two from the tail enders.
 By the way have you noticed how the White Wings have been playing. Their win yesterday over Springfield was the eighth straight. Should they win today from Hartford and the Mechan- ics dron two to New Britain, which I've hope is the wrong bunk, the Wings will be but five points behind the locals.
 Pitcher. Hardy had nothing on the ball Saturday which Skipper" Eley could not see. The blonde one walk ed on his first appearance at the bat and for the next three times .con- nected for a triple, double and sim gle, a perfect record. fs
 Jackson played his 18th game Sat urday and still his average hovers around the 200 mark.
