OCEAN VESSEL,
 CARRIES ''SUB" TO BRIDGEPORT
Re- Registered Steamship Ramos Said to Bear L.-4's
 Equipment.

The ocean-going steamship Ramos formerly the British steamer Foxhall of NeWcastle-on-Tyne, but which was changed to United States registry in 1912. arrived in the harbor of Bridge port this morning with a cargo of en- zines and equipment consigned to the Lake Torpedo Boat Go. Though no report of the vessels clearance from New York was made in the maritime records this morning, the Ramos is said to have left there last night. It is believed that she is under charter from Norfolk.
 Little information could be obtained at the Lake Torpedo Boat plant which is partly closed today, as to the nature of the cargo. It is understood there that the full equipment for the sub amrine L-4 and other boats of that class being built for the United States government is included in the cargo.
 Toole & Sunder1in's derrick was en- gagged in Tightening the cargo as the Ramos is of such size as to prevent her coming within, the harbor beyond the confines of the 23-foot channel. She is the first foreign built vessel to enter the harbor in many years and one of the first ocean-going steamers to come within the breakwater within five years.
 On a recent trip from abroad the Ramos is said to have been attacked by g., submarine, but to have escaped. The maritime records show her to be 19O feet in length with a gross tonnage of S43 tons.
 A rumor about the waterfront credits her future course as direct from this port to San Francisco with parts for the submarines now being built by the Lake Torpedo Boat Co. in California. This could not be confirm ed todav

MAKES
 FOURTH RESCUE
 AT WATERFRONT
Dives After Drowning Man With Rope That Has Fig
 ured in 15 Such Feats.

A thrilling rescue Was effected at the Wall street dock this morning when man describing himself as Richard Drake of Highland avenue fell into the water and after being carried under the dock by a. fast flow ing tide was pulled out by Frank R. Bernier of 352 Warren street., who plunged in after him.
 The rescue was the fourth that Ser nier, who attends to the schneider news store, has made within a. year and incidentally the rope used in pull ing both men from the water is one which has been used in rescufng 15 others in a like manner.
 It was shortly after 12 o'clock when cries resounded from the foot of Wall. street. The loungers had seen Drake plunge backwards over the foot-rail of the dock. Bernier grabbed the rope hanging in the shop and made for the dock. He could not see Drake, who was then crying lustily from under heath the planking.
 Divesting himself of his hat and and coat and throwing an end of the rope to two bystanders, Bernier drop ped overheard. Drake was sinking below the waters surface. Bernier dove and pulled him up, then made the rope fast. Aid was given and both were pulled to the dock. While awaiting the ambulance, Drake was rolled over a barrel and much of the water taken from his lungs. Later he was transferred to St. Vincent's hos pitaI.
 Bernier has had several similar ax- periences. It IS said that he ia usually the only one in the vicinity who haE presence of mind to act with celeritys
