The Seal G1. submarine boat, which received it's finishing touches at the Lake shipyards in this city, made a most creditabIe showing in the series of. government tests to which it was put during the past week and sailed into the local harbor last night about o'clock with happy and rejoicing crew. The boat had just completed a hour endurance test. Capt. Simon Lake, the inventor was with the boat when it came into, the local harbor and was one of the most pleased men abroad.
 The Seal was built at Newport News but finished in Bridgeport. Another boat of similar type was recently com
 deted at Newport News and is on the ways in the local yard This is called the Tuna. 9G2. When near At lantic City while on it's way to Bridge port, she went aground but was soon put af1oat again. The government. tests are regarded as having been highly satisfactory and it is expect t-s ed that the boat will be accepted by the navy depar tment.
