POOR DOZEN
 IN 'fCOMEbACK''

It looked as though the good old days of horses had come back this morning when a young ster from Long Hin crossed Main and Fairfield avenue astride a pony.
 He had come all the way from the center of Long Hill and said it took him about 45 minutes. The young brown pony looked rather fatigued and the driver stopped in front of the Royal IsInch to give him @ rest.
 People who saw the sight stood in amazement and pinched them selves to see if they were alive, for it is very seldom that a boy aStr1de a pony crosses Main street and Fairfield avenue. Now that automobiles are in vogue it is rather risky to travel from Long Hill asxride a pony but the regular little farmer this morning did not seem bit abaShed while he was the source of wonder at Main and Fairfield,

gong. lie hOllereQ Dack Br1QSe- port, if the torpedo tubes at the other end of the boat are open With a little longer he might have made it at | that"
 Was there much excitement?" the Times reporter asked the narrator. Well, not a great deal when you consider ali that was happening. Gus Appleburg made a remark at the time that sounds funny now. He said Boys your life ain't worth a dollar. The jokes on him, though. He set tied with the insurance company for $10, so I hear.'
 How did you actually get the boat up so that the bow was above the water, just how did you do it?. the Times man again asked
 Well, it's like this, in the operat- ing department and the torpedo room we carried about nine tons of pig lead which was used as a temporary ballast. Bill Walsh came up from the torpedo room into the operating room and said to Captain Austin, Cap tain, I have a scheme I think if we drop enough pig lead down through the sounding machine we can at least get the bow above the water and this will leave one of the upper torpedo tubes sticking out and we can send someone out that way to get help. " Submarine Rises
 The sounding machine is a small tube located in the torpedo room through which a small lead weighted
  to take soundings. To pass a bar of pig lead through this tube required that the outer door be closed, the in ner door opened then bar of lead into the tube. The inner door was then closed, the outer door opened and then the lead dropped out by the force of gravity.
 and done by one until about nine tons were passed through the tube the op- eration was repeated. After a rev hundred pounds of pig lead had been passed out, the upward incline of the vessel was quite noticeable and final ly it was decided to make a test to see if the tube was above water. The test showed that it was.
 The next thing for consideration the tubes and out. The torpedo room being the station of the gunner gang, it was agreed that one of them be the first out and as Pete Dunne was anx- ious to make a try at 1t, he success fully negotiated the slippery sides of the tube.
 Upon reaching the top of the tube he had to swim around to the other side of the boat where he could make his way to the deck. He, in turn, was followed by other members of the torpedo gang. Mattresses and other combustible material were passed through the torpedo tube and bon fire was started.
 The bonfire attracted the attention of a Standard Oil tug. which rescued the entire crew as they made their way, one by one, through the tube. Captain Austin was the last man to leave the boat. conforming to the fin est traditions of the navy and the sea-
 The tug was unable to land the crew in Bridgeport and they were carried to the Navy Yard in Brooklyn where some of them received attention as the hospital.
 It would seem that the entire crew did its duty with the result that all were saved and the boat later sal vaged.
 Captain Austin, Philly Marr, Jack Hansen and Bill Walsh, aas well as every one else who stood by and did his duty with a minimum amount of excitement.

It Does Not Pay
 To Be Too Serious

London, Aug. 12.-Meeting Lloyd George at a banquet recently Dimi- trof Stanciof, Bulgarian Minister to London, expressed concern over the welfare of Bulgarians in Thrace and begged the British Prime Minister to place that troubled part of the Bal kans under British protection.
 Well replied the Premier with characteristic Welsh wit. 'ff you'll take over Ireland, we'll take Thrace off your hands. You have had much experience with Comitadjes and rebels and you'll feel right at home in Ire land. It's a fair bargain

Forshew pros pective executive officer; Lieutenant John c. Redman, prospective eng1- neering officer; Chief Torpedo Man Gain, Chief MachiniSt'S Mate Leon ard Kroner, Inspectors Thomas A. Rodden and Robert D. Wallenta.
 With the S-4S safely tied up at the dock the men have left the ship for various places ashore. Some of the men who were taking things easy after their strenuous labors during the day were calmly discussing the happen ings of the day at the Naval and Military club.
 Men Swap Yarns
 The trend of the speaking harked backward and the men were soon on the subject of the sinking of S-48 last
 sYou can say what you want to-" Charley Johnson said, "but believe me certainly do give credit to Cap tain Austin. He stood right up Tn the engine room while tons of water were rushing in and he made sure than everyone was out of the motor and engine rooms before he secured the ageous stuff it would have been a simple matter for him and Hickey to secure that door before we fellows from the motor room got through.
 And I'll never forget Jack Hansen, that fellow is sure a man. He stayed down in the pump room bai1ing water with a. three gallon coffee pot, all though the water was slowly creep
 eff the water ever got up to those ing Up to those pump motors
 pump motors knew the jig was up. He handled that three gallon coffee <pot as if it only held a pint, bailtng tossing it to the rest of us to pour into the auxiliary tank, from which it was blown out of the boat by air pressure
 ged up the strainers on the end of the pump line and the pump couldn't get suction and the water was gradually creeping up to the pump motors while Jack and his trusty coffee pot were busy trying to keep the water
 "You can tell the world it was some relief when we eventually heard the siss of the pump indicating that once more they were doing their duty.
 Credit to Philly
 "You can also give credit to Phi1ly Marr Why, when all the lights went out because all the leads in the motor room were short circuited, he grabbed hack saw, crawled behind the switchboard and sawed loose all of the cables leading aft and in that way we got our lights going again That boy can think quick and he can act just as quick; and if they were handing out medals, would sure pin one on him.
 Sure had to laugh at one fellow, though This was his first dive and he was in the motor room when he saw the stream of water coming into the engine room, he said, that that may be a regular thing but just the same I am leaving here.' When asked yuhara ha
