SUCCESSFUL TESTS As was stated
in the Gazstte, the submarine boat Ad-
der left the Washington navy yard yes
terdsy and proceeded under her own
power to a point opposite Mount YER
non. The Adder. on the trip down the
river, was propelled by her gas engine,
making the trip OF eighteen miles in
about two hours. Upon arriving at the
course the vessel was trimmed" and
vent over the course several times,
both on the surface and submerged.
This Is the first time the Adder type OF
submarine boat has been operated In
fresh water. The longest OF the sub
merged runs was about mile and q
half, while several of them we're fully
mile. During the submerged runs 3
number of short or porpose dives were
made, showing that the vessel could be
as easily handled in fresh as In salt
water. The runs were considered sue
cessful in every way. Later In the
week the boat will be taken to the
course for further trials.
