HIS AIR SUPPLY CUT OFF Rescued by Assistants Aboard the Monitor Puritan. I TRAGEDY NARROWLY AVERTED After Three Years of Thought and Care Japai.ese Creation Fails With i Almost Fatal Result. While trying to give an exhibition of a I diving apparatus of his own Invention from the States monitor Puritan day afternoon o'clock Takao a narrowly escaped death. In the presence of a hundred frienwho were invited to witness the test, he was removed from the diving ap' para.us unconscious and heroic remedies wer. applied to keep life in his body.

After treat mf lit by I. Huggins of the barracks the inventor was carried to the naval hospital, and will remain a pall- several dnvs. inventor's close call was due to suffocation. caused by the failure of the air pumps to furnish sufficient air to his apparatus. The product of his brain failed at the critical moment, and had it not been for the prompt work of his assistants Iwa i nami would have lost his life.

It is lieved that a delay of a minute would have i resulted In death. Lowered Into Hiver. Considerable time was spent by Iwanaml and his assistants In getting the apparatus properly fitted on him, and after the airj tisht helmet had been placed over his head secured the Japanese insisted that he iiuve ma picture laKen. men ne was lowered into the water and quickly hoisted out again. When the helmet was opened up lie announced that everything was working beautifully, but asked for more weight, claiming that the air pump forced him to rise to the surface.

A heavy lead plate was put on the man's chest, and the weight, in addition to lead on the bottom of each shoe which he wore, quickly took him belriw Mia nf tho rn-or Just before he was lowered into the water he was asked about signals. "One pull, all right; three puils, pull me up." he explained to Gunner Bernard Donnelly. who was to be in charge of the air tubes. Then the glass window was securely fastened on and Gunner Donnelly and his assistants began lowering the Japanese Into the water. Meanwhile A.

J. L.ix started the electric air pump, and it was working well. Lower and lower sank the Inventor, ten feet, fifteen feet, twenty feet. All seemed to be well. Suddenly the bell of the telephone by which the Japanese, as an auxiliary to his rope signals to communicate with the deck of the I'uritan, began to ring; and an assistant quickly answered It.

hello." he shouted, but there was no response. 9 Then the rope was two, three times. Gunner Donnelly, who was at the deck and felt the jerks, shouted to his assistants to "pull up. Hand over hand the men quickly pulled up the rope, raising the diver nearer to the surface. He had been lowered about thirty feet, and it required fully fifteen seconds to pull him up, on account of the weight of the diving suit.

Then the air tube became caught In the ladder and more time was consumed. Gunner Donnelly was working rapidly, however, and as soon as the apparatus containing the diver was seen above the surface of the water he reached down to unscrew the glass window over the face. The water had set it tight In place. Gunner's Prompt Action. A wrench, quick, he shouted; and In a few seconds one was handed him and he had loosened the window.

The dtver'a hands showed above the surface of the water, and It was seen that they were motionless. "Lift him onto the Gunner Donnelly, and the order was quickly carried out. The heavy copper helmet was unscrewed from the diving suit and quickly pulled from over hla head. It was then seen that the Japanese was bleeding from ears, nose and mouth. A minute or two were required to unstraD and unbolt the fastenings which held the lower part of the diving suit, and remove it from the unconscious form.

Meanwhile medicines were called for. Ammonia was scoured at once and that was applied to the patient's nose, and later whisky was given. Dr. Hugglns was summoned from the barracks nearby by Ensign J. B.

Dalton, and after some delay reached the ship and took charge of the patient. "Did the pumps stop working?" asked Iwananil when consciousness began to re turn, about ten minutes after he had been taken from the water. "No," he was told. "I couldn't get any air," he replied. Taken to Hospital.

That was all he said. He was suffering, but he had no fault to And with his Invention. Then the ambulance came and he was hurried away to the hospital. It is believed that as the diver was let down Into the river the pressure of the water became greater than the air-pump pressure, and the pump failed to force jj air to the man inside the apparatus. When the air supply, therefore, was prac a tically cut off, the diver was partially 3 suffocated.

Iwanaml has been planning and preJ paring; for this exhibition for years. About three years ago he first began to build the diving apparatus, and he has been at work upon It much of his time since. Nearly one hundred persons were on the ship to witness the exhibition, and with white 3 and anxious faces they watched the work of the rescuers. When it was found that the inventor was conscious, but In a serl ous condition, orders were given to clear the ship, only a few friends of the pa! tlent being allowed to remain. Vacation Trips.

HOME OF FAMOUS OYSTER Soft Shell Crabs Also Among: Principal Products. TOWN OF THRIFT AND INDUSTRY Minus Constable, Jail or ''Lockup." Liquor Sellinp tion of the Crab.

Special From a Staff Correspondent. WENONA, July township of Wenona Is situated at the eastern end of nnnl'n Tftlnntl nn Tknefpr Sound. It lfl a moat picturesque locality, anu known as the home of the famous Tangier oysters and BOft shell crabs. It is a town without a constable. Jail or "lockup." In fact, these adjuncts to the average town has been found entirely unnecessary The people are Intelligent, prosperous, sober and Industrious.

Evidences of their thrift can be seen on every hand. Wer.ona Is also a town without a saloon or other place where intoxicating liquors are sold, but pretty churches are liberally scattered over the island. Its post office and general store is presided over by Mr. George N. Vetra, who is too the manner born, and who foresees In Wenona and vicinity a future popular summer resort for Washingtonlans, Baltimoreans and even people from far away as Philadelphia and New York.

Mr. Vetra talked Interestingly to tKa H1 otnrl riocf juur uunrgpuiiucui auvuu ma meivuv of Dear's Island and its sturdy forefathers and foremothers who have given to this section a type of stalwart seafaring men who would make an excellent reserve force for Uncle Sam's peerless navy to man his battleships and cruisers in the event of a long continued naval warfare with some foreign power. Born Watermen. These islanders are born watermen, can swim like the duck and navigate anything in the sailing line from poling a little punt or flat-bottomed booat to handling a big three-master. The value to their country of such men can better be Imagined than described.

The arrpst of a man for misdemeanor or crime Is almost unheard of here. This condition appears to be as much due to the 11 nrAi'a (la a leuowsiiip-uiinaii ivcmih to the inherent good citizenship of the people. The government of the island Is largely a matter of Bentiment, and the character of the sentiment is good. The reputation of the Individual appears to be the bed rock of It all. Wenona Is not as well known to the outside world as is our little Washington suburban place of Glen Echo, although botih are in Maryland and both have population about equal.

Collins in Wenona would soon be a man without a he became a crabcatcher or oyster-snatcher Instead of a the little Glen Echo lockup. were It to be transplanted to Wenona would become rusty and moss grown from disuse. SSOITAJraD lEuiusuy. The soft crab Industry of Wenona is largely Jn ttie hands of Mr.

Thomas H. Kirwan. one of the substantial citizens of tihe island. His large packing house is situated on the extreme eastern end of the Island Immediately on the waters of Tangier sound. In the little harbor at early dawn each day except Sundays a pretty marine picture is presented.

Hundreds of sails are set and they "flap" in the early morning breezes as the crabbers prepare for their day's work. Then "the white wings that never grow weary" flutter away with their inerry. singing crews In quest of the toothsome soft crab and otdier delicacies of the sea. The soft crab fad Is said to be a growing one In the large cities and at summer resorts, and Mr. Kirwan said at times he finds it difficult to satisfy the demand for them, although the supply in the sound seems to never grow less, and a small array of men is engaged in their capture.

He ships crabs as far away as IjOUlsviiie, and they are said to reach their destination generally In good order. Caught In Dragnets. The crabs are caught In dragnets, somewhat after the order of oyster dredges These are dragged over the bottom of the sound by powerful sailboats, being lifted at Intervals and their contents dumped on floats. From the mass thus gathered the safeties and peelers or are kept and the refuse thrown back Into the water. The crabbers fish with the tide and return to the shore with their catches about noon and "In the dusk of the evening." The crabs are then sold to the packing company and are again culled or separated into three classes.

First, the "peelers" or "shedders" are placed In floats, through which the salt water has perfect ingress and egress. The next class comprises the i "busters," which are likewise placed in overboard floats, while the third class, the soft shell crabs, are packed in crates with 'no ImmAfUota TcLSS UIIU UI (1CIVCU 'UC 1UI HAtiiivuiwkv shipment. The "peeler" or "shedder," when first taken, is a hard shell crab, but the experienced eye of the crabber sees on one of its tins a pinkish tinge, which tells that the crab will soon shed Its hard outer covering and become a "softie." These are placed in separate lloata and are carefully watched. The peeler then reaches the "buster" stage. That is, when the hard shell breaks loose and the crab gradually rids Itself of its hard shell and becomes soft and marketable.

This natural process is an Interesting one. The peeler, somewhat after the fashion of a chicken picking its way from the egg shell, gradually works Its body, claws and legs loose from its hard shell. Immediately thereafter It becomes helpless anil appears to be dead. But it gradually gains strengtn ana is ue pui. In the trays and orates for shipment to Washington, Baltimore or other places.

Rapid Evolution. The time of shipment Is between the buster period and the paper-shell period, when tho covering begins to harden. It is said the average crab sheds and becomes a "softie" several times each season, so the evolution from liar 1 shell to soft shell and back to hard shell again Is constantly going on in the life of this crustacean. At the close of the crabbing season the present crabbers win aiso evoiuie into oystermen men, and help supply tho great markets with salt water trout, tailors, sheepshead and other fishes. and the toothsome Tangier Sound oysters, which are said to equal In flavor the famous Lynn Haven Bays.

The crabbers and oystermen of Wenona are as prosperous as they are happy and law-abltiinK- The surroundings are healthful and the women and children are pictures of health. J. W. M. Baffia Work for Women.
