Within a few seconds, before ring buoys could be thrown overboard, the submarine had sunk. The searchlight of the steamer began to search the dark waters below-and then suddenly burned out-leaving the sea once again in undisturbed darkness. In six or seven minutes boats were lowered.

This successful feat appeared somewhat to excite him. He took three putts...
...Walker stepped into the ring in the best of health and outfought his opponent. He fought as he has not fought since three years ago when he whipped Jack Britton in Madison Square Garden. He battered Shade and weakened him. He punched the elasticity out of Shade's body, and he ripped open his face. In the last round of the 15 allotted he all but knocked Shade...
