BRIDGE TO SUBMARINE SINKING
COOL U.S. COMMANDER (Recd. 7.45 p.m.) New York, Dec. 31. The New York Times’ correspondent at Pearl Harbour says a Pacific Fleet submarine commander who is also an expert bridge player was interrupted during a recent game by a report that an enemy ship had been sighted. The commander carefully laid down his cards, went to his battle station, sank the enemy vessel, returned and picked up his bridge hand, and scored a grand slam.
