Heroic Deed in Saving
Torpedo Boat From
Destruction
Norfolk Va. Dec 5. Tho naval tug
Peoria towing tho submarine torpedo
boat Adder has arrived at the navy
yardhera. Tho Addor waB saved by
the heroism of Boatswain Deory who
responded to a call for volunteers nnd
swam one hundred yardB with a lino
to the Adder from the tug and pullod
a hawser after him. The Addor Is
leaking badly.
The Peoria left last night for Currl-
tuok to aid the Yankton ind Vixen in
floating the Moccasin which Is now
high and dry upon the beach.
When Boatswain Deery responded
to the call for a volunteor :o swim to
the Adder a thirty-four mile gale with
mountainous seas was crashing over
the Peoria and burying tins drifting
submarine boat beneath tons of water.
Deery with a slender line fastened
around his waist plunged into tho
ocean and battled with wind and tide
for a full hundred yardB finally reach-
ing the Adder and gaining her deck.
There ho hauled a thick hawser aboard
by means of the life line and major
It fast. At this time the Adder. was
being tossed about like a cork ono
minute and driven far beneath the
surface the next reeling and wallow-
ing in such a manner as to make It
ulmdat impossible to retain a position
upon her scanty decking but Deery
held on nnd accomplished his work.
Then he went back to tho tug hand
over hand on the hawser.
It was said at the navy yard today
that Boatswain Deery will be com-
mended at once to the president for
bravery.
The Adder Ib leaking and her ma
chinery Is badly damaged.
