“Borrerin”
Mr. I’easlee’s expression was one of
great dissatisfaction mixed with a
none too patient resignation. He
grunted as he seated himself upon the
long seat in front of the village post
office. Mr. Nudd noticed the grunt
and mentioned It.
“If I felt half as mean as you look
and sound, Kellup,” he observed dis
passionately, “I’d shut myself up some
wheres till I got over It. You act
’bout as sociable as a hedgehog.
What’s happened to stir you up so?"
“Borrerin' neighbors,” responded Mr.
Peaslee with a briefness that testified
to a disturbed mind.
“Juke Wlnship, mebbe?" hazarded
Mr. Nudd, and Caleb nodded ruefully
In confirmation.
“Mebbe you’ve suffered some your
self, Nudd,” he began with an air of
settled patience, "but I don’t b'lleve
you’d seurcely credit what I've had to
put up with from that Winship pang
sence they moved onto that hill. It’s
borrer, borrer, borrer, day in and night
out with ’em, till I hardly know wheth
er I’m goin' to find my hat if I want to
go outdoors a spell.”
“They’re 'bout as aggravatin’ as
anything I’ve ever had to put up with,”
Mr. Nudd conceded feelingly, “and the
wust part of it, fur’s it thorns me, is
that they never have any idea of
bringin’ back anything they borrer.
Ain’t they ben that way with you?”
Mr. Peaslee grinned weakly and
shuffled his feet uneasily. “ 'S a mat
ter of fact, Nudd," he explained, “Jake
Wlnship’s bringin’ back something he
borrered Is jest what’s wrought me
up to such a heat this very day. He’s
'nough to mad a saint, seem’s if, and
yet I cun’t help laughin’ over it. too.
“I’ve always shoveled my paths in
the winter," Caleb began, “with any
shovel I had at the time—sometimes a
spade—sometimes a round-pointed
shovel—whatever came handiest, that's
what I’d use. I d’know’s I ever made
any gre’t complaint over not havin’ a
snow shovel; anyway, I don't remem
ber It if I did. But something or
’nother put it Into my wife’s mind to
get me one, and so she did—fetched It
home one day last fall, much’s two
months 'fore we had a flake of snow
or was likely to. I thanked her for't
and stood it up in the shed and let the
whole thing go out of my mind com
plete.
“I d’know’s I’ve thought of that
shovel sence the day I stood-in there
till today, for, if you remember, we
■
didn’t have much snow last winter that
needed shovelin’—two-three little flirts
that hardly made sleddin’ and didn’t
| drift any to speak of round my place.
Come to that, what little fell mostly
| blowed out of the way; so you might
I say I didn’t do any shovelin’ at all,
j and I never even thought of my new
I snow shovel.
‘‘Today, though,” Caleb went on, ‘‘I
had it fetched to my mind by some
thing else I wanted. There was some
! grass round the back door that my
| wife wanted I should cut and I went
out to the shed to get the scythe I’ve
always kep’ hangin’ there, but I
couldn’t find a sign of it anywhere. I
done the same thing that every other
man does when he can’t find anything.
I went to my wife ’bout it and wanted
to know where it had gone to.
“‘Well,’ s'she, ‘I d’know’s I c’n tell
you for certain, but I’ve got my
s’picions. I saw that shif’less Jake
Winship cornin’ round the corner of
the shed an hour or so ago with some
thin’ that looked like that snow shovel
I bought for you on his shoulder, and
mehbe two minutes after that I
ketched a glimpse of him puttin’ off
cross lots with something on his arm
that looked like a scythe and snath.
If you was to press me to give a guess,’
she says, ‘I'd say prab’bly he’d brought
back the shovel lie borrered last win
ter and took the lend of your scythe
for a spell.’
“And,” Caleb finished resignedly, “I
found out she was right ’bout it—as
she commonly is. And I guess that
answers the question ’bout whether
Jake Winship ever brings back any
thins he borrers—he (loos, but there
ain't any great help in havin’ him bor
rer a snow shovel in the winter and
not bring it home till ’long in July
some time.
“I s'pose,” said Caleb with a sigh,
“that the best I can hope for is that
he’ll get the scythe back some ttrae
(lurin’ the first of the winter, when he
wants the shovel again."—Youth's

HOW SUBMARINE
DOES ITS WORK
OF DESTRUCTION
Torpedoing of Ship Described
From View Point of Attacker
and Attacked.
FREIGHTERS ARE EASY PREY
I Ingenious Instruments Make the Point

Missiles Usually Launched From
Distance of Two Miles.
New York.—Early In the great war
the world was astounded by the “Lon
don, Official,” that three British scout
cruisers—Ahoukir, Ilogue and Gressy
—had been sunk by torpedoes. Later,
a wave of wonder spread over the civ
ilized world when Berlin announced
that all three sinkings were the work
of one submarine, the U-9.
From that period of the war right
up to the present time the operations
of undersea lighters have held the in
terest of every follower of the glgautle
events.
Where will they lead? How does
Germany keep it up? Why doesn’t
England get after the Germans?
These are questions asked continually.
Others, which show the keen interest
in submarines, are for information re
garding them. What actually happens
when a submarine tires a torpedo?
What is the usual distance between the
subsea boat and its intended victim?
Mit* uu im* v* urn nit
attack?
A succession of events has made it
possible for statements to lie obtained
of men and women on torpedoed steam
ships, and at least one officer on a Ger
man U-boat has been able to tell his
story regarding such attacks.
Every navy guards with great care
its submarine secrets. Long before the
present war the United States navy
department issued orders forbidding
anyone to hoard its little fighters un
less they be in the navy or armed with
navy permits. The same situation ob
tained in foreign navies. Few books
can be procured with the data that tire
of most interest. A reporter for the
New York World, however, has ob
tained from the highest authority the
facts that follow.
Launched Two Miles Away.
In the first place, no submarine can
launch its torpedo with any hope of
lotting the target utdess the latter is
seen by the man at the periscope.
Therefore, it must be near the surface,
so that observations can be made. Tor
pedoes have a rahge of 7.000 yards—
about four land miles. As a general
rule the German U-boats used in at
tacking merchant vessels launch their
torpedoes from a distance of two miles.
At that distance it is very difficult for
anyone on the doomed vessel to ob
serve their periscope.
Torpedoes rush through the water
at a rate of from 28 to 40 knots an
hotir. The average speed figured in
land miles is about 80 miles an hour.
As tite torpedo speeds through the
water it makes a wake like it huge
fish. In addition is the telltale wake
nf bubbles—caused by the exhaust
from the compressed air chambers
that give it momentum.
Once the submarine is clear of iter
harbor and on the high sea. where
she is destined to operate, her com
mander must keep a keen watch for
enemy craft. He remains on the sur
face as much as lie can, his conning
tower iind small deck being just
above water and his periscope stick
ing up 15 or 20 feet further. This is
the normal cruising position. When
submerged the gasoline engines must
he stopped and the submarine run by
its electric batteries. No submarine
can cruise under water for more than
about eight hours at a time without
coining up for more air. If it be de
sired to rest on the bottom it may
endangering the men on board.
Danger When Emerging.
There are no submarines built that
can descend to a depth greater than
150 feet. Consequently there is very
Tittle resting on the bottom once they
start on a cruise far out to sea.
A submarine that wishes to dodge
vessels afloat may sink and remain
beneath tlie water until it figures that
all danger is past. Her commander
will know when he has descended
about eighty feet and he will remain
there, lie. has delicate instruments
aboard—sounding bells some rail them
—that convey to him the throb of a
propeller, lie can then cruise by com
pass to some other portion of the sea
and there take his chances of being
discovered when coming up.
When rising to the surface for air
and observation those on submarines
in war time take chances. They have
no way of learning the presence of
some drifting trawler armed with a
light gun that can destroy them. Nor
can they know a torpedo-boat destroyer
is waiting, ready with her sharp prow
to ram them.
Aviation has proved of great assist
ance in the hunt for mi Inn aged sub
marines. Observers in hydroplanes
can “spot” the submarine even when
submerged and warn torpedo boats of
its presence.
When flic submarim lias poked her
periscope above water and those on
board have noted the «e-i is char she
: can rise. She remain a. the cruising
L-t-- '
depth while searching for lit r prei or
watching for the appearance of fight
ing shifis, from which site will flee.
She is defenseless and must be careful
lest she be destroyed while trying to
launch her torpedo. Therefore slit' is
used principally as a commerce raider.
If at the cruising depth the look
out sights the smoke of some vessel
the course is changed, and when at
Cue proper distance the submarine is
sunk beneath the surface, only the
periscope sticking up.
“Noiselessly we slip closer and
closer in our exciting chase,’’ the
commander of one of the U-boats lias
related. “The main thing was that >
our periscope should not lie observed
so that the steamer would not change
her course at the last moment and
escape us, Very cautiously 1 stick
just the tip of the periscope above
the surface at intervals ol' a few
minutes, take the position of the ;
steamer in a second, and, like a Hash, |
pull it down again.
“This second was sufficient for me
to see what F wanted to see. The j
steamer was to starboard and was j
heading at a good speed across our 1
liows. To judge from the foaming !
waves which worn thrown off from j
the bows I calculated that her speed j
must be about sixteen knots.
Estimating Speed.
“The liuntor knows how important
it is to have a knowledge of the j
speed at which his prey is moving, j
lie can calculate the speed closer !
when It is a wounded hart* than j
when it is one which in iliglit at high |
speed rushes past. It was only neces
sary for me, therefore, to calculate
the speed of the ship, for which a
sailor has an experienced eye. I then
plotted the exact angle we needed. I
measured this by a scale which had
been placed above the sights of the
periscope. Now 1 only had to let the
reached the zero point on the peri
scope and tire the torpedo, which
then must strike its mark.
“You see, it is very simple. I esti
mate the speed of the boat, aim with
the periscope, and tire at the right
moment.”
Submarine commanders must cal
culate well the speed of the vessel at
which they intend tiring and figure
exactly where it will be when the tor
pedo shall hit it. They have instru
ments for measuring the speed of the
vessel. The commander who will lie
successful in a surprise attack must
prove correct in his presumption that
he has not been observed. The ves
sel must continue at its usual speed.
Then it is merely a mathematical
problem, worked out with a $4,000
torpedo that goes through the ocean i
just a few feet below the surface.
Masters of merchantmen cun escape
torpedoes if they are seen soon
enough to change their course. Speed
and a quick answer to the helm are
necessary for the successful subma
rine dodger. Constant lookout must
be maintained for the submarines.
Submarines have greater speed than
the average freighters. That is why
the latter are so easily overhauled
and attacked by the deck guns with
which the larger U-boats are equipped.
When Lusitania Was Torpedoed.
When the Lusitania was torpedoed
just off of tlie Old Head of Kinsnla,
on the south coast of Ireland, on May
7, 1915, this is what was observed by
one of the passengers, J. H. Brooks
of Bridgeport, Conn., when inter
viewed by the London correspondent
of the World two days later:
“At about ten o’clock, ship’s time,
the fog lifted and our speed increased
to about seventeen knots. At two
o’clock T finished a light lunch and
passed up on the boat deck and up
the little stairway which leads to the
hurricane deck.
“As I reached the corner of the
Marconi house I looked out over the
sea. It was calm as a lake and the
sun was shining. Suddenly I saw the
wake of a torpedo coming toward us,
and then the torpedo itself. It was
traveling, I estimate, about tiiirtv
five miles an hour. The torpedo,
plainly visible about three feet below
the surface, was, I should say, about
twelve feet long.
leaned over the railing and looked
to see It strike us. I realized at once
the aim was perfect. My impressions,
as 1 analyze them now, were most
peculiar. My chief thought was how
beautiful the deadly Instrument was
as it skimmed along.
“The torpedo was fired after the
ship had passed the submarine. It
struck us at an oblique angle just be- j
low where I was standing, directly j
opposite the forward funnel.
"My first thought was that the fun
nel might fall; to escape this I Jumped
to the shelter of the Marconi house.
I had taken three steps when the
deluge of water hurled up by the ex
plosive knocked me down and then
there was a rain of debris which
j seemed to have been forced up
| through the decks.”
The California.
When the California was torpedoed
on February 7 last, while off the north
coast of Ireland, with a loss of 11 per
| sons, two of whom were children born 1
1 in Philadelphia, the bubbles in the !
wake of the torpedo were noticed by
Captain Henderson just before the
vessel was struck.
“Fire on that spot!’’ he called
j through the speaking tube to the crew !
! manning the 4.7-inch gun mounted aft. 1
! The steamship was struck before the
gun could be trained, however.
J “It seemed fairly to lift the ship
out of the water,” said one of the
: survivors. “Many of the passengers
i and crew were thrown from their
i feet. and. besides the five killed ln
i stuntly. more then a score were in
jured by llylng splinters.”
