IT'S A REAL PHANTOM SHIP.
Smoke Screen i'm Moment Is Among
New Marine Aids.

Sydney, N. S. w, May 9 (by mail)
Striking examples of marine inven-
tionS performed during the last days
of the war are demonstrated on the
steamer Bembridge which is in port
here.
Her foremast is placed several feet
starboard of the keel to mislead sub
marines, and her funnel, much shorter
than that of the average steamer of
her tonnageh, is over the keel so that
it is impossible to tell by looking thru
the periscope of a submarine which
way the steamer is proceeding.
Smoke may be diverted from the
funnel to passageway near the wa
terline so that the vessel may make
an effective smoke screen in emer-
gencfes
