Interpretation Above is shown the ill-fated U. S. submarine, S-48, as she pounded on the rocks off Ports- mouth, N. H., where she went aground in the terrific storm, that swept the Atlantic coast. A crew of 46, five of them half- crazed, were taken off safely through the heroic efforts of the coast -guard, after being trapped in their tiny compart- ment aboard ship, and their lives endangered by the chlo- rine gas that swept the boat, generated by the water enter- ing through the torn hull and mixing with chemicals aboard. At the left is Lieut. Command- er Bray of the S-48 and on the right is Seaman Novarro with the submarine’s mascot “Beans,” which he brought safely ashore. This is not the first time that the S-48 has met with tragedy. Back in 1921 she dived to the bottom of Lony Islahd Sound, and fatalitic were narrowly averted.
