 Passengers on the Red Cross liner Stephano, torpedoed off Nantucket hghtship Sunday evening, have assert ed: 'The side of the U-53 seemed to open and boat with men shot out and rowed to the Stephano," and also "The submarine seemed to rise from the sea with her decks awash, and at the same time disappearing guns appeared upon the deok and the Ger mans began firing. The men did not come from the coming tower"
 Commenting on these known facts Lake said: "These features indicate without refutation that the German submarine has those features which I included in the building of the Rus sian submarines many years ago+a superstructure deck for the convey ance of boats.
 These were included in two boats built for the Russian government upon plans designed by me in Ger many.

These super structure decks are not necessarily within the pressure-resisting hull as they can be flooded when submerged. drain their water by gravity when rising to the surface or quickly be blown free of water by the use of compressed air.
 "That the German boat U-53 is thus equipped is not to be questioned from the reports made by passengers on the Stephano. The method pursued in case of such launching of boats or small submarines would be the simple unbolting of side hatch-way doors and the release of the boat. The hatchway would not necessarily have to be reclosed for quick submersion of the bigger vessel though such a procedure would be precautionary.
 'In the case cited where the crew and guns appeared almost simultan- eously as the submarine came up with decks awash: The disappearing guns are carried in water tight chambers which have connection with the sub marines interior in similar manner to that which the coming tower now has-by means of battened ports. AS the boat rises the gunners pass from one compartment into another, the ports are again made fast and they appear with the gun. The reverse ac-
