NANTUCKET, Mass. Nov. 22.-The
merchant submarine Deutschland, re-
turning to Germany with a contraband
cargo. was believed today to have left
American waters IN safety.
Darkness. which set in soon after she
started from New London, Conn, yes
terday, prevented observation of the
submersible's passage along shore and
theer was no word from her since she
passed Watch Hill, Il. J., at sunset last
evening.
If she maintained her speed of ten
knots an hour it was figured she should
have passed Nantucket south shoals
lightship in the darkness early this
morning.
Then, with the open sea ahead, the
Deutschland could set out on the 1000
mile course by which her commander,
Captain Koenig, hoped again to evade
the blockading vessels of allied navies
supposedly watching for her coming.
