way tried to cheer me up, and finding he
was failing on one tack switched to a new
one By calling my attention to particular
ship which was passing.
l scrutinized her, noting her graceful
lines and approaching that she belonged
TO the period when they built liner as
lady and not as freight house. There
was something strikIngly familiar about
her, and yet she couldn't be the ship /
thought she was, for that ship had been
one of Capt. Haddock's famous dummy
squadron and was afterward sunk for
breakwater. Puzzled, l turned to my
companion.
Eyes, it is she-the old =" He men
toned a name I'm not free to give.
But, good Lord, man. | exclaimed.
"You must be wrong! Why, only the other
day the New York papers had pictures of
her as she lay half sunken at Kephola
with bad list to port"
He laughed, or rather it was sort of
wise ehuckle. "Those pictures were taken
over two years ago. he said. THAT'S
she there now before your eyes, once more
doing her bit as effectively as she did it.
as dummy battleship and as break
wafer; smart piece Of work"
could hardly believe either my eyes or
ears, as I appreciated what frightful
condition a ship gets in after lying just
awash on the bottom for few years e1-
posed to all the fury of the elements.
Furthermore, l knew the dummies had
been filed with rocks and cement ere their
seacocks had been opened and it seemed
unbelievable that such solid weight had
ever been got out of the old ship without
destroying her.
Il was at Kephola right after she was
refoated," my companion said, "and l
never saw more dilapidated spectacle.
In making her into a dummy Haddock had
built on wooden superstructures here and
there and filled up well decks TO give them
a straight sheer fore and aft. This false
work, of course, remaining above water
the sea had pounded it till it chung TO her

nacles and sea grass covering her hull
nearly to the top, she really looked as if
she had the mango"
"But how in the name of Sam Hill did
they ever get that concrete out of her so
she'd fioatf" 1 asked, watching the friend
of my youth and wishing her luck on her
voyage over seas.
"By blasting"

course, they didn't get it all out, us Some
Of her deck beams, stanchions and riS=
were cemented in and TO blast round them
would be fatal. Yet they got most of it
out and I'd rather be on her when Fritz
was around than on most ships"
Naturally, l asked why and was in
formed that my old friend was now pretty
nearly concrete ship with an outer
plating of steel. And questioning the skip
per for further tales of salvage, learned
of the timidity with which certain fam
Gus ship had been foated.
/ have picture of her lying Oh her
side, half out of water, and can see the
shell holes in her deck, made by the
cruiser which finished her meteoric career
as raider. That she was ever righted
and floated after lying there filling up
with sand as the surge of the sea and the
fury of the elements beat upon her for
three years is hard to understand.
In the first place the boilers had to be
gotten out and the engines as well, for.
never meant to be suspended in space at
80 degree angle, they had broken from
their bed plates and become a jumbed
mass on the side which was bottommost
Through the upturned side they had to be
hoisted, and as that side was frequently
like half tide rock, never clear of the
sweeping seas, caisson WAS built on it
to protect the wOrkmen. And sometimes
for days during gale men would be
marooned inside the caisson wondering
at what moment their barrier would he
smashed around them or, as once occurred,
U-boat would appear and land well
directed shot in their vicinity.
Yet they plugged away and one day
turned the big ship over on her own bot
tom, foated her and started her on her
thousand mile tow through the Danger
Zone to dry dock, only to lose her
when complete victory was nearly theirs.
The feelings of every man who had risked
his life and suffered hardships to salvage
her were such that any one Of them would
gladly have throttled the U-boat COM
mander who was SO unsportsmanlike as to
fire the fatal shot. Though she is lost now
beyond recovery, the unbelievable had
been done and there's some comfort in

The acquisition, successful transporta-

time and money.

DIG game hunters, uaturalists and
ID others, as well as the members, have
shown great interest in a recent important
addition to the exhibits of the American
Museum of Natural History. A specimen
received and set up last week completed
a habitat group of the white rhinoceros
of Africa that had been in the course of
collection for several years.
OF chief interest in the new group are
8 splendid bull rhinoceros from Central
Africa and a cow Of the same species
The exhibit has been placed on the second
floor of the museum, along with num-
Der of authenticated photographs showing
native African porters bringing the skin
and skeleton from the jungle. The record
bull has two horns, the longer of which
is forty-two inches from tip to base, the
shorter about thirty inches. The female
