 "All the 30 or more men who had met death in the Fish were volunteers, but Dixon had no difficulty in finding another volunteer crew ready to take the same risks. They were Arnold Becker, c. Simpkins, James A. Wicks, F. Collins, Miller and Ridgeway, all of the Confederate navy, and Captain C.. F. Carlson of Captain Wagoner's con- pany of artillery, it was a little before 9 o'clock on the evening of February IF, 1864, when Master J. K. Crosby, officer of the deck of the Housatonic, detected the torpedo boat, scant 100 yards away from the ship.
 "'It looked to him. he said, like a plank moving along the water, and be- fore he decided to give the alarm. he had lost the seconds in which he might have saved his vessel. When he did pass the word, her cables were slipped her engine backed and all hands called to quarters, but Dixon had closed on her and fired his torpedo on the star board side, just forward below her wa ter line and she went down in four minutes. Five of the Housatonic's peo- pie were killed by the shock or drowned the remainder took refuge in the rigging from which they were rescued by other vessels of the fleet. But the victory of the Fish was fatal to herself and her crew. Whether she was swamped by the column of water thrown up by the explosion, or was carried down by the suction of the sinking Housatonic will never be known but she went un- der never to rise again, and the lives of all on board were sacrificed

Many interesting facts concerning the Confederate navy have been unearthed by painstaking search of available rec ords and a personal canvass of citizens who have, in various capacities, been connected with the operations of the his toric fleet, or their friends and rela- tives.
 It is the desire of those interested to preserve as a permanent record the his tory of the Confederate navy, and it is result of this inquiry that has re- vealed many hitherto unknown facts about the men and boats of the fleet. . In discussing records which this or ganization had unearthed Captain Nc Elroy said they have only been able to secure the names of 16 men who served on the first submarine boat, and every one of them lost their lives in action "Of more than 30 men who were drowned in this desperate service the following names are all that we have been able to locate: Horace l.. Hun ley, inventor of the submarine boat i; Robert Brookbank, Joseph Patterson, Thomas w. Park, Charles McHuth, Henry Beard, John Marshall, Charles L. Sprague, who lost their lives in
 
 Der 15, 1863; George E. Dixon, c. F.. Carlston, Arnold Becker, James A. Wicks, c. Simpkins, F. Collins Ridge way and Miller, who lost their lives in Charleston harbor in sinking the Housa- tonic on February IF, 1864.
 The First U-Boat
 The following is an account of the first submarine, which was introduced into naval warfare by the Confederate navy:
 The Fish Torpedo boat, known as the Hundley submarine boat, that destroyed the federal frigate Housatonic off Char lestor harbor, was built at Mobile, Ala, in 1863, by Hundley and McClintock, and was arranged with pair of lateral fans, by the use of which she could be submerged or brought to the surface. Her motive power was hand-propeller worked by eight men, and it was intend ed that she should dive under a vessel, dragging torpedo after her which wouln explode on contact with the hull off On the other side. She was provided with tanks which could be filled or emp tied of water, to increase or decrease her displacement, but there was no provi- sion for a storage of air. During an experiment at Mobile she sank and be- fore she could be raised the whole crew were suffocated.
 General Beauregard accepted this boat for use at Charleston. Lieutenant Payne, c. s. N, and crew of eight men were preparing to take her out for action one night when she was swamped by the wash of passing steamer and all hands except Payne were drowned. Again she was raised and once more

sunk-this time at Fort Sumter wharf, when six men were drowned, Payne and two others escaping. When she was brought to the surface Hundley took her into the Stone river, where, after making several successful dives, she stuck her nose into the mud and every soul on board perished by suffocation.
 The Fourth Trial
 For the fourth time she was raised and experiments were made with her in Charleston harbor. She worked fine until she attempted to dive under the receiving ship Indian Chief" when she fouled cable and once more she proved a coffin for every man within her.
 Divers brought her up a week later and Lieutenant George E. Dixon of Cap tain Cothran's company of the Twenty first Alabama infantry asked permis- sion of General Beauregard to try her against the Housatonic, a splendid new ship of war, which lay in the North channel off Beach Inlet. General Beau regard consented, but only on the con- dition that she be used as a submarine machine, but operating on the surface

 To Be Strict
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 15.- Dr. W T. Fales, head of the bureau of vital statistics of the state health de- pertinent, has urged county health off, ficers to investigate conditions in their counties, in order to stop the burying of the dead without burial permits Health officers are requested to make reports of law violations.

ASHBURN FORESEES
 END OF EMBARGO
Unsatisfactory Condition Of
 Warrior Laid To Drought
(WashingtOn Bureau)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-At the office of General T. O. Ashburn, today it was intimated that at the con- ference between Ashburn, and Secretary Weeks Monday the question of lifting the trade embargo against Tuscaloosa, Demopolis and Cordova will be discussed, with the prospect bright that it will be lifted in the near futuress TFs
 Much of the unsatisfactory condition on the Warrior is due to the lack of adequate equipment, it was explained today. Boats have been constructed and would have been delivered but for the unprecented dry season which rem dered upper river channels almost de- void of water. The general rain of today is hailed as a promise of early relief. It is stated at Ashburn's of flee that as soon as the boats can be lowed to the Warrior, there will be no reason for continued refusal tc ac- cept all freight offered, with the re- sultant improvement in finances which will make possible resumption of trade relations with all river points.

CARGOES SWAMP TONNAGE LIMIT
 OF BARGE LINE
Warrior River Service Is Unable To Care For
 Shipments

For, the first time in its history the Warrior barge line is incapable of talk ing care of the tremendous, traffic late ly developed on that line. This in- formation was obtained in Birmingham Saturday when it was learned that the Tennessee company and others had been compelled to route traffic over rail lines in order to get the needed cargoes to Birmingham.
 This situation has developed despite the fact that the Tennessee company las leased to the waterways five steel barges and has agreed to deliver others of 60,000 tons capacity within short time.
 The local company would have de- livered the barges and to that extent helped to alleviate the situation, but the boats are tied up at Louisville, Ky, and cannot be lowed to Birmingham be- cause of the low water.
 The Tennessee company is routing . large amount of manganese ore via the river and the impurts has grown to such an extent as to necessitate the Shipment of quite lot during the past few days by rail. This was regretted byvthe company, but, the lack of facil- ities prevented the shipment from com ing up the river. It is stated that in their extremely many shippers have petitioned for help and secured some relief by the diversion of traffic all ready provided for, so that emergency eargoes could be handed.
 GOVERNMENT MEN COMING
 Dwight l.. Davis, assistant secretary of war and General Calden Ruggles, assistant chief of ordinance United States army, will be in Birmingham Tuesday and address an open meeting of industrial men at the Masonic temple at o'clock. It is stated that the of ficials will make an inspection of> sev sral industrial operations during the stay in Birmingham.
 The trip of Secretary Davis and Gen sral Ruggles was suggested by the Bir- mingham chapter of the American So eiety of Mechanical Engineers whose guests the visitors will be while in Bir- mingham.
 Capt. c. H. Menger of fhe ordinance department in charge of the. Birming- ham offices will show thezvisitors over the district. He conferred with H. 0. Ryding, vice president of the Tennes- see company in reference to the trip and the details have been completed for the visit.
