 Coast For SubmGrSibla.

The United States submarine K-5. which was on the. way from New York to Key West, with crew of from six to eight men aboard, is miss ing. Naval vessels have been search ing along the Carolina coast, but, ac- cording to information available here their efforts have been futile.
 Lieutenant c. K. Brady is in com mand of the missing boat, with En sign Hugh C. Frazier second in com, mand.
 The submersible did not respond tU wireless calls sent out from shore sta tions and naval vessels and this leads marine men to express fears that the boat has suffered at least an accident to her wireless apparatus.
 A heavy fog hung over the coast between Charleston, S. c. and Cape ROmain, forty miles north of here. where the K-5 was sighted, and this made more difficult the task of the searching.
 The K-5, with three other subma- rines of the same type-the K-1, K-2 and K-G-convoyed by the submarine tender Tallahassee. left New York fer maneuvers in southern waters. The Tallahassee and the other three sub. marines arrived off Charleston bar
