But this is not the hardship it might seem,
since the bad air produces seasicknes with
many and with others an overpowering drow-
siness. The German commander says he has
had new men who did not eat for the first three
day out because they were unwilling to Lose
that time from sleep. No wonder, then, he eN-
plains, this submarine existence is fearfuly
trying on the nerves, and every man does noI
stand it."
Day after day" he goes on "in such cramped

there is tremendous strain on the nerves
have sat or stood for eight hours with my eye
glued to the perscope, and have peered int

ached."
THE INVISIBLE SPECTATOR BEHIND
THE PERISCOPE.
A word about the periscope. This consists
of vertical tube which extends from above the
surface of the water to few feet within the
submarine. At the top of the tube is an object
glass; at the bottom an eye piece. Two re-
lecting mirrors, one at the top, the other at
the bottom of the vertical tube, cause the
image to be transferred from the object glass
to the eye piece. The operator can turn the
periscope so as to sweep the whole horizon,
and he has view as clear as if he were at
the surface looking through an ordinary field
glass.
1T gives one a peculiarly uncanny feeling
beneath the water to see and not be SEEM
remarks Commander Hansen. II have passed
near ships and have seen the officers on the
bridge and the people oE the deck. They had
not the slightest idea that there was anything
like submarine in the vicinity"
This sense of power derived from invisibility
is really the only compensation which the SUBJ
marine service offers for the hideous risks in
herent in it.

man9uvring with a squadron of Kure in the
forenoon of April 10, 1910 Commander Sa-
kuma wrote letter while he and all his men
were awaiting inevitable death, letter which
was obtained by the wreckers when the boat
was raised too late to save her crew. This is
a part of what he wrote:
1--WE were making a dive when the subma-
rine sank lower than was intended. We tried
to close the sluice valve, when the chain I'M
fortunately broke. therefore closed the valve
with my hands, but it was too late to avoid dis
aster, and the sea entered the rear of the boat,
which sank with list of rs degrees. We have
worked hard to pump out the water, but the
boat remains in the same position.
"A word to His Majesty. I respectfully
beg to say that it is my hope that Your Ma
jesty will see to it that the bereaved families
of the crew are provided for. This is foremost
in my mind.
"The air pressure is becoming so great that
feel as if my eardrums were breaking.
1T is now 1890 p. m. My respiration has
become difficult and more and more painful. 1
thought would hold out against the gas, but
now 1 am intoxicated by it. E..
1T is now 1910 p. m and"
There the message ended. The submarine
was raised after some days and towed to Kure.
MEN ON F-4 WERE PROBABLY SPARED
DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION.
Possibly some such pathetic and heroic doc
ument will be found ,Jhen the F4 is finally
lifted to the surface and the bodies of Lieu
tenant EIDE and his men are reco""red In any
event it is highly probable they were spared
lingering death from suffocation by the per-
meation of the chlorine gas.
Navy men suppose the accident to the F-4
is a duplicate in its inception OF one that hap
pened to another boat of her class. In the lat
ter case the sulphuric acid from one OF the bat
teres was itself found to be leaking and caus-
ing a corrosion of the hull, which under pres
sure from submersion would have meant the
forcing of the corroded plate and bad intake
of salt water just where it would prove most
dangerous But this lea, was discovered in
time and remedied whereas the one in the F-4,
it is supposed went undecided until the dive
off Honolulu harbor and the consequent punct-
ure of the hull made discovery too late to pre-
vent the death of the crew.
A miraculous escape from chlorine asphyxia-
ton is told of the commander and crew OF
nineteen of the Russian submarine Minoga
which, in April, 1913, while manruvring off
Libau took a sudden plunge and remained at
the bottom nine hours.

These are a disavowal of the sinking,

repeated and proper reparation.
