 Under cover of darkness Admiral John Benway's fleet, consisting of one unarmOred scow, mounting one four pronged spear aud bamboo fishpole, glided stealthily ont iuto the Housa- tonic river off the Fred Gillette Banks. Tuesday night.

The craft flew the flag of the Allies and her stealthy action was taken on the report that fleet of submarine German carp were at that very hour in- tecting the turgid waters of the Housa- tonic.
 Halfway across the river the enemy was sighted-a big fellow of 25 pounds displacement-lying a fraction of a iathom beneath the surface and evi- dently about to charge the shlp. Ad niral Benway lost no time. He un- .imbered the spear. took deliberate and careful aim and let 'er go, with excel ,ent effect. The German monster was Corpedoed abaft the boiler room just back of the starboard gills and it re- 4uiTed the combined strength of both admiral anG crew to hoist it upon deck
