Cutler can do no worse than a pair of seconds in the 220 and 440, and he may be rested enough to reverse that six inch defeat Rene Chouteau handed him in New Haven Tuesday night in the 440. Curwen and Powers may sneak through for some points in the 220, and the latter has a chance to finish in the money in the 440.

Their highly risky mission was to sneak up and pot-shoot German warboats anchored at their bases, perhaps to intercept a squadron sallying out of harbor. One division belonged to the 640-ton Swordfish class. Two of its ships were the Seahorse and Starfish. The other division belonged to the 540-ton Unity class. One of its ships...
