Norfolk, Aug. 3.-The German sub

from Cape Henry. This would mean
four-hour run to Cape Henry II Cap

This position of the Deutschland
places her either in or close to the
channel to York river, and marine
experts here suggest she may be max
ing either for that river or Mobjack
bay, to anchor there until night.
Aeropianes Over Bay.
Two aeroplanes were seen flying
over lower Chesapeake bay at Hamp-

from the armored cruiser North Caro-

capeS. The machines Unanswered

moderate altitude.
The Deutschland evaded all obsery-
ers at the mouth of the Chesapeake
bay. Careful search of the waters

boat, reported 80 miles up the bay.
Members of the Virginia Pilots as

Agents of the allies. with swift
yachts and motorboats, are on the
waters of the lower bay watching to

sells here absolute confidence is ex-
pressed that the Deutschland will be
successful in her efforts to complete
