Meagre details of the incident . were received last week, but the de- stroyer's name was withheld until yesterday. Before she had an opportunity to fire a shot, the destrover was hit on the stern by a torpedo, which killed Gunner’'s Mate Osmond Kelly In_ ram, slightly wounded five others of the crew, and put one engine out of com- mission. The Cassin had been searching half an hour for a submarine first sighted five miles away when Commander Vernon suddenly saw a torpedo 400 vards distant and making for the ship at great speed. He crdered full speed ahead and the wheel hard over. The patrol boat was just clear of the tor- pedo’s path when the projectile broached on the surface, turned sharply, and hit its objective. Admiral Sims reported that the be- havior of the officers and the entire crew was admirable. He gave special credit to Commander Vernon.

The The Na ment was as follows: “The destroyer recently mentioned in dispatches made pubic as being in- jured by a torpedo was the U. S. S. Cassin, commanded by Commander W. N. Vernon; executive officer, Lieutenant J. W. MacLaran; junior of- ficers, Lieutenant J. A. Saunders, Lieutenant L. R. Agrell, Lieutenant R. M. Parkinson and Assistant Sur- | geon D. W. Queen. “While this vessel was on her pa-| trol station a submarine was sighted on the surface at about five miles dis- tant. The Cassin immediately pro- ceeded at full speed toward the sub- marine with her crew at their battle stations. She searched the area for | about thirty minutes, zig-zagging back and forth, when the command- Announcement. department’s announce- COMB SAGE TEA IN HAIR TO DARKEN IT Grandma Kept Her Locks Dark, Glossy, and Youthful With Sage Tea and Sulphur The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage. Nowadays, though we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home.

Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis- appears, but what delights the ladles with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound ,is that, besides beautifully | darkening the hair after a few appli- cations, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

After about an hour the submarine exposed its coning tower long enough for the Cassin to fire four shots. Two of the shots fell so close to the submarine that it was forced to submerge im- mediately and was not seen again. The Cassin ‘continued to search until dark when, having heen joined by | other British and American patrol ! vessels, she was taken safely into port. ! “Vice Admiral Sims states that the behavior of the officers and the en- tire crew was admirable. There was no excitement on board; the men re- maining quietly at their battle sta- tions throughout the ight except when called to other duties. He com- mends the British navy for the prompt action, which probably saved the Cassin from total loss. He also commends Lieutenants MacLaran, and Parkinson for their ingenuity in effecting temporary re- pairs, and for their coolness and ef- ficient work. “The following men were cited by Vice Admiral Sims for showing cool- ness and qualities of leadership: Hoffman, George, quartermaster; father, Peter Hoffman, 541 Bast Eighty-fourth street.
