Nautical Novelties

The U.S.S. Comestoga was
outfitted at the Norfolk Navy
yard for duty in Samoa as the
Governors yacht and distress
vessel of that port in 1920. She
was formerly a Redding railroad
tug taken over by the Navy dur
ing the World War. After she
left Norfolk and transited the
canal she sailed to San Fran
cisco, Calf. She departed from
that port with bargeS in tow,
headed for Samoa.
Since she left San Francisco
nothing has ever been heard
from her. Some say that she
foundered in a storm off the
coast of Mexico, but not even a
life preserver has ever been
found. There is at the present
time a man at the submarine
base, Coco Solo, Canal Zone, a
civilian, who can produce or
ders showing that he was trans
ferred prior to the sailing and
disappearance of the U.S.S.
Conestoga. His name is Carl A.
Posse, a civilian in the supply
department and at that time his
orders gave his rate as Chief
Yeoman.
Mr.. Posse had another mar
row escape in his naval career.
He was one of the crew aboard
the U.S.S. DeKalb, the first Ma
Wy transport to land troops in
France at the beginning of the
World War. On this trip she was
fired upon by German submar-
ines but received no damage
and made port safely at st.
Hazaire, France, in June, 1917.
The Pacific side of the Pan
ANA Canal is 81 miles eastward
of the Atlantic side. The tide
of the Pacific side averages IL
feet rise and fall while on the
Atlantic side the rise and fall
averages only about one foot.

THURSDAY, G is, 1910

Admiral Farragut was appoin-
ted midshipman when he was
nine years old. He commanded a
vessel at the age of IL. He was
the Nays first Vice Admiral
and the first Admiral. The
ranks were created for him by
acts of Congress.
To know that the church pen
nant is for me as well as Tor
anyone else. To sacrifice my
time for any activity that will
benefit the ship. To serve in
such a way that If I had to
leave, my shipmates would miss
me. To treat ladies with respect,
that they may not think of men
with contempt. To be. a plain,
everyday man-o-warsman, not
an imitation one - to be just
a regular fellow.
When Admiral Jellico visited
the United States, the private
car of Charles M. Schwab was
placed at his disposal from
Canada to New York. He
met the train at Grand Central
terminal, and found the dis
tinguished Englishman and Joe,
the colored servitor who had
had charge of the car for years,
kneeling on the floor, playing
craps. Joe had initiated the Ad-
miral into the mysteries of the
favorite game Of his people, and
had won $40 from his enthus-
iaStic acolvte.

BRITISH PLANES
 MAUI INVADERS
Waves of Nazi Attackers Broken Up in TOday's j
 Raids
By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Oct. 7-(UP)-British defenses severely mauled fleets of German raiders over London and southeast England today, slashed at fleeing Nazi bombers from all direc- tions and reportetdly shot down about 15 enemy craft.
 Only a few battered raiders got through to strike at objectives along the Thames and in the Lon don area during five daylight air raid alarms.
 Once a few British Spitflre fight CTS roared wildly into battle with large German formation crossing the southeast coast at great alti- tude, shooting down one or two in a severe battle near Weymouth.
 Successive waves of raiders taking advantage of the break in weather to sweep in from the southeast coast, came in greater strength than for the past 10 days.
 But they ran into stiff opposition and only three formations reached London. Spitfire and Hurricane pa trols lurking in the clouds dived down aud drove back high per- centage of the raiders within a few minutes after they crossed the coast.
 Intercepters shot down several German raiders into the sea and some in the coastal area.
 Planes which managed to reach London dropped few scattered bombs with slight result.
 Aerial battles were reported over large area southeast of London but only a few of the raiders were able to break through to the capital.
 A single German plane drew 8 heavy anti-aircraft barrage in mid- afternoon as it roared over the city but most of the Nazi squadrons were turned back near the coast.
 Due partly to bad weather, partly

Draft Boards Directed
 To Show Regard For Men Asking Deferment
Full Pardon For
 Hayes Is Asked

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 7- (UP)-The platform of the Hartford faction of the Union party today asked repeal of all laws violating the Ten Com
 mandments and that former Waterbury Mayor T. Frank Hayes, convicted of corruption, be granted a full pardon. The party's convention en- dOrsed Wendell L. Willkie, Charles L. McNary and Repub- lican Congressman William J. Miller, from the first district, and Democratic candidates for all other offices except U. S. senator. The platform adhered to the 16 points of social justice in the Union party national platform.
 The Hartford faction has taken no further action in con- templated injunction proceed
 ings to keep candidates nomi-
 mated at the New Haven con-; ventiOn of another party group
 from appearing on the ballot. The secretary of state has ruled
 the New Haven convention can
 didates, and not those of the
 Hartford faction, were entitled
 to a place on the ballot.
