This distinction, says Harpers
Weekly, belongs to the Confederate
States submarine Hunley, and crude
and Imperfect as was that strange
craft, lis general plan has been followed
in the most modern submarines.
The Hunley was constructed
In the iron woiks of Parks & Lyons,
at Mobile, Ala. For her hull the
builders U3ed what was most available?an
ordinary cylinder boiler,
forty-eight Inches in diameter and
twenty-five feet long. The limited
Interior space was still further restricted
by partitioning o!T compa.iHienis
for water ballast, the tanks
feeing tilled and emptied by valves.
Heavy pieces of iron were bolted
to the keel in such manner that they
oould be detached by the crew from
the inside in case it should become
necessary to rise quickly to the surface.
The screw propeller was attached
to a shaft runnin? through
the boat. On this shaft were set
*4ght cranks at different angles.
These cranks were grasped and J
worked by the men, who s.t upon
the port side, the shaft being supi>'j
hrfifkntcj on the starboard.
(#W1 *J ? # . ??v V.? ?... -
So confined was the space that when
the men were In their places it was
impossi!> 1 e 10 move from one end of
the boat to the other.
The commanding officer's position
was in the bow, whence he controlled
the rudder and the two iron tins
which sent the boat up or down. The
officer also attended the torpedo, the
total armament of the boat. This
was a copper cylinder holding about
ninety pounds of explosives, fastened
upon the end of a boom twenty-one
feet long, which extended from the,
nose of the craft. The only means 01 I
securing a fresh supply of air after
the boat h id dived was to come to
the surface and remove a hatch cover.
Upon the completion of the Htmley
at Mobile, it was dec! led that Charleston
harbor offered the best field
for operations, and she was accordingly
moved to 'hat city by rail. Tin

Despite the air-ingc- nature of the
oraft, it was not found difficult to secure
a crew, and all w:t? soon in
jTeadlness ror an expedition against
blockading fleet. The crew took
rlhelr plneo3, the hatch covers were
about to be bolted In place, when,
while still alongside the dock, the
boat was swamped hv a heavy swell,
and every man aboard was drowned.
She was raised, and another crew
volunteered. Again, and In almost
tdto same manner, the boat was
wv>r?>r,0d at the dock, six men perishing.
Auer this occurrence the boat was
turned over to her builder, Capt.
ffunley, and a volunteer crew from
Mobile, niftn who had assisted In her
/building, were more or let.3 familiar
^tvlth the craft, and who, hearing of
the two disasters at. Charleston, had
hastened to offer their services.
This time It seemed as though all
things were to work satisfactorily.
The men took their places, the hatch
covers were boiled down, the lines
were cast off, the boat moved away

^!$pon Investigation it was found that
the boat had driven her nose into
the soft mud of the bottom with such
force as to render it In.possible for
the crow to back off and rise to the
surface. All had died from suftoca-,

The Hunley was raised and prepared
for service again. Already site

a fourth crew stepped forward instantly
when a can lor volunteers
was made.
No further trouble was experienced.
and- this crew spent some
tlnte in getting thoroughly acquainted

practicing and rising. It was
found that in comparatively smooth
water it was possible to make a
gpeed of four miles an hour, but If
the water was rough not nearly so

BATTLE IN THE STREET
The Greatest Cxcitevuent SpreadH
Throughout City of London ah the
Trapped Men Ue?i?t Arrest and
Fire on Soldier* and Police From
the Windows of n House.
One of the most remarkable criminal
outbreaks that baa ever occurred
in England took place in London
in broad daylight Tuesday noi
fur from the heart of the city. A
band of suspected anarchists directed
its deadly fusilade from a building
temporarily converted into a fortress
against hundreds of uriv.e! pol1 :??
rn*n, reinforced oy troops and
Stinrdsmrn, uiounted and on foot,
who had bogged the criminals, finatly
setting iire to their fortresses and
demolishing It. Six of the desperadoes
were burned to death in the
ruins of their improvised citadel.
A London dispatch says the east
and was thrown into ereat excitement
by n pitched battle between
several hundred police and a band
of men suspected of being the murderers
and the friends of the murder*
rs of three policemen who wore
killed recently by anarchistic burglars.
The uispected ones, the numbers
of which it is not known, occupied
a ^ouse in Sidney street, a
narrow thoroughfare. The police,
discovering their headquarters, surrounded
the place and were met with
a volley of shots from within. A
rapikl exchange of shots followed
during which two detectives were
shot, one seriously.
The police after locating their men
and anticipating trouble, had ordered
the houses in the Immediate neighborhood
vacated before daylight and
throwing a line of officers around the
square, allowed no one to approach
within a hundred yards of the scene
of the expected battle. The police
linos had been drawn so tight that ir
was believed that the Inmates of the
house had no chance to escape. The
police were satisfied that the place
contained the two murderers wanted
and they had also satisfied themselves
that the assassins had fortified
their home and were supported by a
number of friends.
Whenever the officers approached
the house a volley of bullets spattered
the pavement. A detachment
of GO men with one officer and three
non-commissioned otficers of the
Scote Guard from the Tower arrived
later and were served with ball cartrid?es.
They fired a few rounds
into the building. There was a lull
for five minutes and then the hesieged
replied. It was impossible tot
estimate the number of persons in
the building as they were armed with
magazine lilies, Mausers and drownings
and fired with groat rapidity.
Last, week the authorities were in
formed that men closely resembling
the hurglirs had rented rooms in
the Sidney street house. Preparing
for a raid on the house, the police
aused the tenants in the neighboi
ng houses to quietly remove Iron
h? Ir hones during the night. Dp
pctive Sergeant Lesson was exam
nlng the suspected building from the
car when he was shot. His brother
dficers helned him up a ladder an
ov?r a wall at the bark of tho yarP
adjoining, while the men in the
house continued to fire upon tin
party.
As tho situation became more sei
our the thousands of onlookers were
driven back and a space was hurriedly
cleared for a radius of half a
mile about the scene of action. The
soldiers kept up a fusilade directed
at the windows or the house and
tho men within respon 'ed continuously.
Meantime loads of straw were
hurried to the place for the purpose
of starting a fire and smoking out
the besieged men.
Piles of straw were lighted near
tho buildings and the flames either
spread to the house or the anarchists
themselves sot fl'-o to tl,e hull ling.
Tho fire brigade was then summoned
and reaehel the scene at 1 o'clock
that afternoon. Tho Are fighters divided
their ener.'ies between tryine
to put out the blaze and trying to
flood out the outlaws by streams of
water thrown through the windows.
As tho afternoon progressed the
battle waged more fiercely. Another
company of the Scots Guards was
ordered out. and took up a position
in front of the house at 1 :.10 o'clock.

of the criminals that machine pun?
were called for. These wore hurried
to ?idney street under orders to bombard
the building should other mothods
to dislodge the defenders fall.
In the face of terrific odds the
trapped men continued a desperate
resistance and every few minutes appeared
at the windows and emptied
their guns at any one In sight. The
flames, however, swept up through
the building, driving the occupants
to the top story. Hard pressed, the
terrorlats kept up the grim flght. At
2 o'clock the whole building was in

Clinging to the bottom of their \
boat, which had capsized and turned
turtle, seven seamen of the British
steamship Navarra were rescued in
the harbor of Charleston Wednesda>
afternoon, says The News and Courier,
by Jlmmie Deal and Eugene
Cross, two apprentices of the Charleston
Pilot Association. The rescued
sailors were benumbed) with
cold, having been exposed on the bottom
of their little craft to wind ami

which they were found when taken
aboard the pilot launch and carried
back to their ship.
Messrs. Deal and Cross were out in
the launch "Uncle Simeon," being
out on a special mission. While going
down the channel they heard four
whistles, the distress signal, blown
by the steamship Navarra, which got
out of the channel Tuesday morning
in a fog and grounded near Iiuoy No.
7. Young Deal, who was In charge
of the pilot launch, looked about to
see what was the trouble. Nearly
half a mile away from the ship he
spied a small object drifting with
the tide, wliich appeared to he a
boat bottom-upwards with several
men clinging to it. A second glance
showed plainly that the men were

for aid. With all possible disn.it/Oi

for the scene of trouble.
When the pilot boat reached the 1
upturned craft the men were found
to be so benumbed with cold that
they had to bo literally picked off and
taken aboard. When the rescued
seamen thawed out sullicienlly to
tell their story they told the pilot
boys how while trying to run a cable
from the Navarre their yawl boat was
