Below : Famous old submarine, "Holland 

 No. 9," on a freight car at the League 

 Island Navy Yard. It was bought by the 

 Government in 1900 at a cost of $150,- 

 '000. Instead of using the ballast tanks for 

 submergence, this prototype employs hori- 

 zontal rudders, which may be seen at 

 its stern.
