PROMINENT MAN SEES
SUBMARINE IN THE BAY
A well known mining man who has
a copper property across the bay
started out yesterday in a small boat
to row across to his property. He
was moving along slowly when chanc
ing to glance ahead he saw a dark ob
ject rise slowly to the surface of the
water. Visions of German submarines
immediately flushed across bis mind
and in a flash he had turned the bow
of his craft shoreward and drove the
dinghy through the water at a speed
which left boiling water in his wak».
This speed was not satisfying and he
put on a little more steam, but the
added power was too much for the
oars and one of them broke short off.
Casting aside the broken stump he
seized an extra oar and to make up
for lost time gave her the last notch
This was a fatal move, for both oars
gave way under the strain leaving
him without means of propulsion.
Nothing daunted he cast off his coat,
took a header into the icy waters of
the bay and struck manfully out for
shore at a speed which would ha is
defied any submarine ever built. A
few minutes later he climbed up on
the float at the dock somewhat out
of breath, but still in condition for a
record sprint up town. Glancing bacx
at the bay he again saw the object
come rising out of the deep. Some
what cooled off by his plunge he stop
ped to have a look-see and lo, the
submarine periscope turned out to be
nothing more dangerous th^n a hair
seal in search of herring.
