chlorine from the main section had
already begun to filter through the
cracks. However. this compartment
was soon filled with the poisonous gas
and the men had to leave il to avoid
aSphyXiaton. Orders We're then given
To retire TO the only chamber left, that
at the bow, where new and frightful
tortureS awaited them.
Just as soon as the officers and sail
ors had shut themselves up in the bow
the electric current was cut off, lcav-
ing the submarine still submerged and

meant certain death. The commander
exhorted his men to continue in the
dark their work of calking up the
compartment to stop the thrush of
water and gas, which continued to
spread throughout the boat, The hull
was laying at a depth of II meters. in
a bed Of mud.
At Work in Darkness.
Each man worked ut random In the
dark; several of them were almost
overcome and their strength had be-
gun 10 leave them. but their discipline
was not lesscned for one moment. The
only pump available drove the water
| the hope of rescue which these in
trepid sailors had in their hearts.
The air was well nigh irrespirable !;
their pulses beat with fury. But. In
spite of ALL each man was perform
ing in the dark the task assigned him.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, six
hours after the sinking. the crew
heard the clatter of chain that was
being cut. They knew then that eff
forts for their rescue were under way
and ut the same time that these ef-
forts were being frustrated. The sub
marine, after the chain was cut, had
/ remained in position with her stern
somewhat raised
Meanwhile, in the world above, the
disappearance of the H-3 had become
known and all elements of rescue
We're set TO work and succeeded in To-
eating the position of the submarine
from the indications of tugboat
which had accompanied the submarine
up to the moment of the accident
Various other submarines and tugs
placed themselves about this point
and two heavy cranes with chains
were set up in working order.
A diver who went to the bottom re-
turned saying that the H-3 was lodged
in the mud in dangerous position
and that the telephone buoy was en-
tangled. After a little continued eff
fort the telephone apparatus was
Strengthened out and communication
with the crew of the submarine re-
established. When questioned the
commander replied with stoical valor
that it would be necessary to raise the
boat as soon as possible to save the
lives of the crew. These words, said
without anxiety. without fear in the
presence of such. catastrophe, are
worthy of the tradition that Pratt set
down for our navy, when seeing that
his old wooden ship was about to be
attacked by a powerful enemy of

mark of ownership. My eyes were In

hat first instant of horror l hurled

murder committed on board, and the
fellow I had struck down was seeking

what about the light in the cabin? 1t

stateroom. Did this mean that the
slayer had an accomplish? If so, then
the killing was not the result of a
mere personal quarrel amidships, or
IN the forecastle, but the result of
some conspiracy. I thought of San

Nothing came Of my thought-only
confusion; nor did l dare investigate
for fear Of becoming more deeply in

nothing to be done; my safety, and
the safety of the girl depended on our
apparent ignorance Of what had oc'

washed the blood stains from my
hands and lay down in the bunk fully
dressed to await my call.
When called l exchanged but few
words with LeVere. He went quickly
to his room. Nothing of Importance

QUEUE IS SIGN OF BONDAGE
Remarkable That Chinese Have Come

gree Of Pride.

II the Germans had won the war,
would they have made us wear pig
tals-in order that they might have
something to yank us around byf Aud
would they have applied their eff
cheney to a new system of punishment,
perhaps with different number of
yanks for each olrense against our con-
querlng masters? The zeal with which
patriotic Cinnamon cultivate the
queues that they consider sort Of ma
tlonal distinction, and the fact that
those Cinnamon in other countries who
discard them are forever considered
outcasts Is indeed paradoxlcal. For
the plgtail is n sign of bondage, the
earmark of II conquered race. Cen
turies ago ancient China had clvlll-
zation all It's own. But on every side
she was surrounded by warrior hordes
that covetcd the riches and luXuries OF
the more advanced people and
harassed them continually. Finally
overcome by barbarian host. the
Chinese were reduced to n state of
servllity. one Of the eyactlons Of the
conquerors was that the men grow
long queues, by which, ms they few

hold of the helpless creatures to swing
them before them to the saddle or to
