man Submarines.

Base American hotillas in British wa
tiers, Nov. IA Correspondence of the
Associated Press Irish fishermen along
the coasts where the U-boats operate
have made some remarkable catches dur
ing the past year. The story of the
fisherman who found $4,000 box of
diamonds from the Lusitania in his nets
one day and whose honesty in returning
them TO their rightful owners was re-
warded by check for $1,000, is well
known. There is another fisherman who
came home from a fishing expedition
with a fine new American automobile
lashed to the deck of his little trawIer.
There are hundreds of fishermen who
have made modest fortunes out of sal
wage of one kind or another. Wheat,
-four and coal salvage are all profitable
businesses in the coast towns nowadays.
The story of the man who came home
from the sea with brand new automo-
bile is household fayorite in the Irish
ports. Accompanied by his son he was
mackerel fishing when he was aroused
by the report of an explosion. On the
horizon a cargo steamer from America
was settling by the stern. It had been
torpedoed The fishermen headed for it
and soon met the captain and crew in
two open boats. "She's loaded with
American automobiles. You might get
one before she goes under" said the skip
per jokingly as he and his shipmates
passed on toward shore.
The torpedoed ship was still well above
water when the fisherman came along
side. He at once sent his son on board !
to look around The lattef found the
hold full of automobiles. Run one out
through this gangway,' directed the fa
ther. With the aid Of some tackle the |
machine was dropped into the fishing
vessel. A few moments later as the |
trawler steamed away the ship disap- |
peared. The fisherman with an automo- |
bile is now the envy of his village.
Many torpedoed vessels manage to |
reach shore, where they are usually /
pounded 70 pieces on the rocks But be

PLAY PRESENTED IN

Good Gracious Annabelle Very Pleasing
to Only Fair Sized Audience
Last Evening.

Good Gracious Annabelle, Glare Kun
mer S sparkling comedy success, attract
ed only fair sized audience to the Au-
dltorlum last evening, although it was
the same production and same cast
that appeared in New York and Boston

A young woman, Annabelle Leigh, has
husband somewhere whom she has seen

but not all she thinks she needs. Anna
belle has in her possession two shares
of stock which are valuable as they are
needed to give the control of a valuable
property to two rival owners She hv-
pothecates the stock to fill her emptied
purse, and the play tells how she re-
gains control of il. In the course of her
adventures, she finds her husband who
| is not as bad as she thought he was, and
all ends happily.
Marguerite Risser, who plays the part
| of Annabelle Leigh, was a dainty lit
tie package of femininity, as charming
as she was original Her work stamped
her as an actress Of, the first rank, and
She spoke the lines of her part in way
