NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 3.-The Ger
man submarine Deutschland passed
quietly out of the Virginia Capes at
$3.50 o'clock tonight on her homeward
$3.50 o'clock Wednesday night on her
homcWard voyage, apparently unob-
served by the allied warship patrol
waiting OUTSIDE the three-mile limit
She was accompanied to the capes
only by the tug Thomas f. Timmins
which had conveyed her down the bay
from Baltimore and by newspaper
dispatch boat
Her departure to sea followed an
IS-mile dash through the lower
Chesapeake bay. After proceeding
slowly most of the way down. sho
increased her power at $50 and
reached the capes just after dusk
None of the allied cruisers was visi-
BILE as she passed through.
Ono Ship Seen.
Only one allied warship was seen
off the capes today. 1t was a two
funneled cruiser flying the British
naval ensign. Passing vessels re-
ported that there were two peculiar
buoys near her. This gave rise to
some speculation as to the possibility
that net had been flung across the
channel but pilots familiar with the
waters did not believe such a method
of preventing the egress of the
Deutschland would be attempted
The trip of the submarine and the
conveying tug down Chesapeake bay
from Baltimore was started under
Ideal conditions. Not cloud was
in sight as the submersible increased
her speed to 19 knots an hour soon
after clearing Baltimore harbor The
tug apparently had great difficulty
in keeping up with the Deutschland
Bay steamers passing up and down
had their attention attracted to the
submarine by the brilliance of her
tights, especially that of the periscope
They cast rays of their searchlights
on the submersible, looking her over
from stem to sturn. AS each of the
vessels recognized the submarine a
salute of three whistle blasts was
blown. The submarine answered each
salute with her own whistle.
Members Seen.
In the rays OF the searchlights
members of the crew could be plainly
seen walking up and down the after
deck. In the coming tower was Cap
tain Paul Koenig, master of the yes-
sci. At his side stood the pilot.
Those aboard the submarine and
the tug apparently were worried by
the presence of the newspaper yacht,
ii SPECIFY craft, WHICH kept up WITH
the vessels without difficulty. The
tug especially kept close watch on
the yacht and was quick to take up
n position between it and the subma-
rne whenever the opportunity pre-
sented itself.
Whether she submerged before
reaching the three mile limit is un-
known. The two accompanying boats
only know that she disappeared un-
harmed and that to all appearances
she had a clear field ahead to a point
where she could completely submerge
in safety.
Half an hour after the last light
OF the Deutschland had disappeared.
the Tmmins, seemingly satisfied with
her work, turned back and headed up
Chesapeake bay in the direction of
Baltimore.
During part of the day the Deutsch-
land had remained hidden at a eovo
up Chesapeake bay.
Lay Secluded.
For several hours before the be-
ginning Of her final dash she lay in
