APPEARANCES DECElVING
TO NAVY tMPL0YEs
Thought They Sighted Submarine A
Story That Sounds Fishy But is
Founded on Real Facts.

Great excitement prevailed at the
Naval Experiment Station, opposite
the Naval Acadmey, few days ago,
when a number Of employees were on
the wharf awaiting the launch to
transport them to~the Annapolis side.
One of the number saw strange
object some distance out in the Sew
ern River that looked suspiciously
like the periscope of U-boat. He
said nothing, but kept his eye on it,
as it bobbed to the surface and then
went under.
Surely" he exclaimed there can
ltot be German submarine so close
to home" and great visions of the
Reina Mercedes being blown up, and
the Naval Academy torpedoed came
before him, while beads of cold per-
spiration stood on his brow
Now he saw that curious thing, then
it would disappear 1t seemed to
come nearer, and, as though realiz-
ing it was being watched, it went to
sea and dived under.
Finally Mr. White could stand the
tension no longer and he got a launch,
jumped in and set out to discover
what this red looking, bobbing up and
down object really was. He thought
he'd take the chances whatever they
were, anything was better than this
mental strain.
Going after the curious object
proved to be almost as futile as look
ing at it from the seawall. Ii was
like the ignis fatuus, for no will o.
the wisp could have been more elu-
sive.
The launch would get almost within
reaching distance, when under the
thing would go and out of sight it
would be for for minutes Then it
would bob to the surface again.
Recalling the old nursery rhyme.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try,
again." Mr.. White persisted in pur-
suing the elusive object. which he had
first thought to be periscope of
submarine. All things come to him
who wait. After much darting here
and there. criss-cross, up and down,
the Severn River, and with using
considerable diplomacy the elusive
object was at last caught, and the
catcher" after he recovered from
the shock of what the object really
was lost his breath for a moment.
The red object that bobbed up and
down in the water, and skitted about
like Hula Hula dancer on the sur
face OF the Severn, proved to the red
acorn-shaped cork of fishing line at
tached to which was the entire fish
.rg paraphernalia Except the rod
with two hooks Hanging from the
hooks as Mr. White pulled in the line
was a rock, measuring twenty-four
inches long and weighing two and "a
half pounds.
The rock fish had been caught by
the hooks, and his size and weight
probably broke the line from the
fisherman's rod The fish had been
disporting himself about in the waters
of the Severn with his accoutrements,
probably for several days
This story sounds ''fishy," but it is
founded on real facts.
Moral: In Annapolis you don't
have to go after the fish, they come
after you.

THREE KILLED; HURT
IN CRASH AT CAMP
-Four Other Men In Machine Jump
To Safety AT Severn
OFF FOR MEADE WITH PAPERS
Two OF Killed Men Philadelphians
One From Baltimore Watchman
SAYS He Gave Warning.

Three men were killed and four
others narrowly escaped a similar
fate at 6 o'clock yesterday morning,
when an automobile in which they
were riding was struck at the rail-
road crossing at Severn, by a Penn
sylvania Railroad express bound from
Washington to Baltimore The dead
are:
Irwin L. Fraustadter, "a years old,
OF Philadelphia.
Israel Hoffman, Is years old, S34
Willow street, Baltimore
Frederick Goodman, of Philadel-
phia.
Fraustadter and Hoffman were in
stantly killed and Goodman died at IL
o'clock at the Camp Meade Hospital.
The other four occupants, James
Jahss, Charles Milstun and an un-
known Philadelphian, and Frank
Klein, of Baltimore, leaped to safety
before the crash.
The occupants of the car were in
the delivery service of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger They were
bound to Camp Meade after receiving
daily shipment of papers in Balti-
more. Jahss, who was driving, con-
tends he did not see the approaching
express when he neared Severn be-
cause the crossing is hidden by steep
incline. According to the railroad,
Andrew Jackson, the watchman at the
crossing, attempted to flag the ap-
ahiRNor I,,4 Ia -. l..
were evidently misunderstood by the
occupants of the machine.
The crash threw the automobile a
distance of about 25 feet. Fraustad-
ter and Hoffman were terribly man
gled, but Goodman was still breath
ing when picked up near the wreck
ed automobile. Vernon l.. Harig,
2l16 Penrose street, Baltimore, pass
ed by in his automobile a few min
utes after the collision and he rush-
ed Goodman to the camp hospital
At the same crossing last Saturday
night two Camp Meade soldiers-both
hiladelphians-were killed in a SINH
lar manner. Following the accident,
Gen. Joseph Kuhn wrote a letter to
the Pennsylvania Railroad calling
their attention to the dangerous cross
| il gs at both Severn and Odenton,
where traffic has been enormously in
creased since the establishment of
Camp Meade.
An inquest will be held at o'clock
this afternoon at Severn Station by
Justice of the Peace Columbus War
