MOCCASlN'S TORTEDO HITS.
Torpedo Boat Mckee "Destrcyed' In q
Match With the Diver.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. ls.-Tho officers
attached to the torpedo station are begin
ming to feel that it is useless to hold further
tests with the submarines, for not in q
single instance have the torpedo boats
been successful.
After the repeated victories Of the SUBJ
marine Adder over the torpedo boats,
arrangements sre made on Friday Tor
an attack on he torpedo boat Mexico
by the Moccasin. The previous tests Lad
been held when there was glare on tho
water, which made It very difficult for the
crews of the torpedo boats to pick up the
coming top OF the submarine, but on trioay
there was no sun.
The Mckee Was sent to sea to prepare
for the attack. Getting outside, the crew
were called to quarters and the torpedo
tube was loaded with dummy.
About an hour alter the Mckee had left
the torpedo station the Moccasin under
command OF Lieut.. Pinney, Was sent out
"a make the attack. When the Mchee
was seen outside o. Brenton's Reef light
ship the MoccasIn dived and made sub
surface run for an hour. Then she came
to the surface for observation, and, seeing
the Mckee, made for her.
1t was evident that tho crew Of the Mckee
had not seen the submarine fighter. Tor
the Ais thing they knew their weasel was
hit amidships by q dummy torpedo. Rrsd
