OF FICIALS CRITICISE
ENSIGN'S ADVENTURE
Writings Shooting Torpedo
Tube May Lead to Valu-
able Invention.

There is a possibility that Ensign
Kenneth Whiting, the star swimmer Of
tho navy, who made his way 20 the
surface through a torpedo tube from the
submarine Porpoise while she lay under
seventy feet Of water, may come in
for mild reprimand for the reckless
ness displayed in his achievement.
Ensign Whiting had an idea that a
man could escape from a disabled sub
marine by Waking his way out Of the
torpedo tubes
To prove this he himself made the eX-
pertinent. BY grasping the rim OF the
outer lid as it was opened, + was pulled
partly out Of the tube despite the thrush
Of water and succeeded IN shooting up
ward to the surface.
In discussing the achievement naval
officers are Of the opinion that had his
plans gone amiss or mad he lost his
grip on the outer lid he would almost In
evitably been drowned in the tube.
There would have been no way Of dis
covering this until the boat was brought
TO the surface. The general opinion is
that not only Ensign Whiting, but the
other officers and members of the crew
were bIameworthy in not preparing for
such a contingency.
The achievement is the first Of its kind
in the United States Navy and may lead
70 the invention Of some device 10 en-
able the crew OF a submarine TO escape
in case of accident 1t is an open Ques-
ton, however, whether or not greater
caution could not have been displayed
I'm the demonstration.
