A BRAVE OFFICER

DIES FOB HIS COMEADES.

The posthumous award of the gold Albert. Medal has been made to Com-mßndcr-Goodhart. A submarine sank by accident in 3Sft. of water, and the only prospect of saving the remaining crow was that someone should cscapo in order to take concerted measures with the rescuers who had arrived on the surface. Commander Goodhart volunteered to make the attempt. Carrying a tin cylinder with instructions for the rescuers, Commander Goodhart' and the submarine's commander entered the con-ning-tower, which was flooded to their waists. Tho high-pressure air was then turned on, and the conning-tower lid was opened. Goodhart took a deep breath and made his escape, but he was blown against tho superstructure and killed. The submarine's commander, who had intended to return to the submnrine after Goodharfs escaspe, was involuntarily forced to the surface by the air preraure, and was thus enabled to effect tho rescuo of tho submarine's crew.
