dence that the submarine mad come to
no HARM They pointed out that the
vessel was in command of Lieut.. r. c.
Grady, who was also in charge of the
division including the K-1, K-2. K-6.
and that his sailing orders directed
him to take the division from New
York to the Southern drill grounds off
Key West, not stopping at any pore
EN- route.
The fact that the three sister ships
of the KS and the convoy Tallahassee
put in at Charleston was due. TO trou-
blesome weather and dense fogs and
could have been accomplished without
knowledge of Lieutenant Grady and
while he was continuing south.

Is miles by unfavorable weather con-
ditions. In case the vessels were sep
arated greater distance than the
