A xtrikinic example illustrating this vas r" ntly rdu.wn nhcr. the Edison l attery on tin- submarine K-2 xpbelfd and set fi r to the cwsfl vhil it was lyintr at it? Jork in the New York navy yard. The commirHlnK fdU'er of the vol i.s lyieut. Charl'-s Mnvnard Cook, i member of the las.- of 1910 at the .aal ;ic;iiliiiy. With other submarin' dürers th-n at the

Jut as h ratne on derk and lo.-l;. ed over at his e.cs l the explosion occurred, and in a moment flames wpro bHchliit: from the underset craft. Lieut. Cook realized in an instant that there were in the vxm1 th "war heads" of four Whitehead torpedoes, and if the Uam:s reached them not only would the es.d he utterly destroyed, hut in all probability millions of dollars of il;nn;i;v would be done to the other vessels in the yard. Officers say that tly? dreadnauht pow building in tlv yard, which is to be christened tlw "New Mexico." mitrht have Leen destroyed, alonp with buildings in the ard, and hundreds of livers certainly would hae Leen lost. IJeut. Cook rushed oer to the K-, made his way into the vessel through a wall of (lamp, and reached the four terribly destructive explosive head. of the torpedoes, orie of whirh i sufficient to demolish the most formidable vessel afloat. He seized a Are extinguisher and in plte of the fact that he was almost ringed about by flames and threatened with annihilation from the escaping fumes of acid, he fought the Harnes Lack from the engines of death until the tlanprer was past, and others had extinguished the fire on the vessel. While Ueut. Cook wa. keeping the torpedo heads drenched with the fluid from the fire extinguisher, he was, of cour?e, unaware of the cause of the explosion and fire, and momentarily expected another explosion or a wave of name which would have overcome him and reached the "war heads." Luckily, thi did not occur. If It had it would not have meant only the death of a brave and useful officer of the navy, but the wreck of the greatest yard In the country at present, the irvs of millions of dollars to the government, and in all probability the sacrifice of hundreds of human live?.
