DREADNAUGHT
_
KOMK. lice. 20 (Correspondence of |
Associated I'ress). It was by swim-|
j tiling into I’ola harltor and steering !
1 two small submarine motors towing I 1
bombs that two Italian naval officers
destroyed the Austrian dreadnought
Viribus Unitis just before the sign
ing of the armistice between Italy and
j Austria. The swimmers were In the
water nine hours and had to pene
trate four barriers across the harbor
entrance, two of which were compos
ed of steel submarine nets. After they j
had attached their bomb to the side
of the dreadnought, they were captur
ed and taken on board the vessel and
were there when the warship was
blown tilt.
They escaped without injury and t
have returned to Home to tell of their I
exploit which is characterized as one i
of the most daring and successful in <
the history of naval warfare Only I
the fact that the Viribus Unitis had
been destroyed by Italian naval forces 1
previously had been made known but 1
now the details have been given out
by the Italian admiralty
The officers who thus sent to the -
bottom a 20.(RMt-ton ship, one of the
most powerful in the Austrian navy,
were Lieutenant Haffaele i’aolucci
and Major Haffaele Kosetil The at
tack was delivered on the morning ot
November 1, 1918.
lo tow the bombs into 1'ola harbor,
the two Italians invented small com
pressed air motors to which were at-1
Inched bombs For six months the,
two naval men practiced in long ii is-!
tanee swimming. The Italian admit -1
;tlt' gave them tin- use of a motor
boat.
Reaching file hubnr ••litranr-i- at'
nightfall, the two daring men start
ed on their expedition swimming br
side their little motors and steering '
lhem. To escape detection by sentries -
on a wooden pier across the harbor
mouth. I’aolucci and Rossetti had
hats shaped like bottles, and the sen 1
try saw nothing hut a couple of hot j
ties being tossed about by the waves.
When his hack was turned they ad
I vanced and safely passed the lira
1 harrier.
Alter infinite labor they fought
| their way through the steel nets and
jibe Austrian fleet lay before them.!
Reaching the side of the Yiribus 1
t nitis, they attached the bomb to her
hull beneath the ladder which led to j
her deck and timed the bomb to e\ !
I'lode at 0:3(1 a. m.
By this time they were exhausted j
having been in the water more than [
nine hours As they were leaving,
they were discovered and taken on ;
board the dradttought. At first they i
refused to answer the quest lung Asked i
them by Admiral Voueovlc h. At 6 15, \
however, they told the admiral what ij
1 hey had done and he gave the order ij
to abandon ship I’aolucci asked the ?
admiral if he and his friend might ^
also try to save themselves and he ^
shook hands saying. "You are brave J
men and deserve to live.” They piling- S
ed into the water and swam away, but ?
ten minutes later the admiral began ^
to suspect the bomb story and sent ■!
a launch to bring them back They \
were made to walk up the ladder {
under which they had set the bomb 1
which was due to explode In ten ”
minutes. The ladder was crowded
with sailors returning to their ship
"Him. Run for your livos,” shouted
i’aolucci. struggling to reach the deck
before the explosion took place, lie
and Rossetti had reached the deck

nought when a terrific explosion rent j
the air and a column of water 300 ]
feet high shot upward. Admiral Vou- ;
covich again gave them permission to ;
save themselves, and they had been j
swimming away from the ship five
minutes when they heard another ex
plosion and saw that the other bomb
which had been left adrift had been
'.tried by the current alongside the
large Austrian liner Wien .and had
there exploded.
The Vlribus I’nitis was then lying
on her side, but suddenly the huge
i ship turned bottom upward and Lieu
j tenant Paolucci saw Admiral Vouco
i \ ieh scramble upward and stand with
| folded arms on the keel, ready to go
] down with his vessel.
Major Rossetti and Lieutenant Pao
htccl were recaptured and taken on
board another Austrian warship
where they were kept prisoners until
tho armistice was signed and an Ital
ian warship entered the harbor. Then
a launch was sent for the two heroes
and they were sent on u destroyer to1
Venice where the people gave them a
vociferous welcome.

PARDON IS WANTED
FOR A SEDITIONER
There seems to he some mlsunder
standing on the part of the public as
; to lands withdrawn from homestead
for (lie use of the Alaskan engineering
commission.
The so-called live-mile strip is open
to homestead with the reservation ot
timber rights in the hands of the Alas
kail engineering commission. Where
a homestead is desired the matter of
timber may be taken up with the
commission, and no doubt hut that,
in exceptional cases satisfactory ar
rangements may he made.
In this strip there Is some unusu
ally good land north of the Tatiana
river, and the land office in Fairbanks
suggests that homesteaders should
take these lands up in forty-acre lots,
as forty acres well cultivated should
produce a greater pert .-mage of profit
than ISO across less intensively culti
vated.
