fcient dimensions to sink the vessel in case
all of her water ballast had been immedi-
ately elected. This apparently was not
done, and the cause still remains a mys-
terry. The generally accepted theory that
the whole crew were rendered momentarily
unconscious by the shock of collision hardly
seems tenable. AT any rate, this sad accf-
dent clearly indicated the necessity for the
automatic appliances previously referred TO.
1t also pointed out the desirability of
second modification now generally carried
out, viz, the fitting of a watertight hatch
between the tower and the body of the
boat. So far as 1t Is possible to tell now,
AL would not have been sunk had she
been provided with these two features.
Therefore, IL is legitimate to say that, as
things now stand, this particular case does
not reveal any inherent and unavoidable
danger. Nevertheless, the broad cause Of
this disaster, viz, collision involving the
upper part of the submarine, Is the most Sc
rious danger to be avoided In practice.
In the last case, the Lutin, detailed infor-
nation is lacking to enable any mature
opinion to be expressed. Press dispatches
indicate that the vessel, having previously
made two successful dives, plunged for
the third time after which no sight of her
was had except a momentary glimpse OF
her bow. The divers reports show that she
sank in about 11S feet of water, and fur
Their that the coming tower hatch was open
and the Interior full of water, and all OF
the drop weights in place except one, which
had been detached. 1t is stated that the
official commission reports the disaster as
being due to a large leak in the stern. This
explanation is hardly tenable, there Is
no evidence of collision, and no adequate
cause can be imagined which would pro-
duce a leak of such dimensions as to over
come the ability of the air system and
pumps. At present little more can be said
about this sod case than that it illustrates
very well one of the objections to drop
weights-that is, their unreliability-and
that the fact that the coming tower was
found open is significant.
