that Bradshaw was rescued by George
Woodward, of Destin, while Bradshaw
was floundering about in the breakers
IN which he jumped and attempted
to swim to the beach after the Bril-
liant had crashed on the beach and
was going to pieces.

NAVY Is PREPARED
SAYS CHAIRMAN OLIVER

Washington. Jan. 12.-Complete sat
isfaction with work of the navy's ord
nance bureau and its preparedness foy
the war, was expressed by Representa-
tive oliver of Alabama, chairman of
the House naval investigating sub
committee in n statement summariz-
ing the results of the ordnance inquiry.
The testimony has convinced the COM
mittee Of the prevalent opinion of the
navy's readiness is well founded.
says the statement
Among interesting facts brought ont
were disclosures that eleven hundred
merchant ships were equipped with
guns and ammunition by the navy
since March 14th last.
The report said the record attacks
on our merchantmen shows were
comparatively small percentage sue
Cessful and that chances of esca pc
when a submarine IS sighted before
she has time to fire n torpedo is very
highly due the efficiency of the navy
personnel. The committee IS supplied
with full information ON number Of
