It is known however, that the warship could have plunged the Unit ed States and Germany into war, and further that she was prepared to do so if necessary.
 Great excitement prevailed at the torDcdO station when Captain Ken yon of the coastguard station sent n message to Commander Robinson in command of the torpedo station that a Prussian submarine had been sighted a few miles south of Bren' ten Reef lightship.
 Little time was lost by Command' CT Robinson in ordering Lieut.. liar old R. Stark to take a ship which had guns of small calibre and sub merged torpedo tubes and 30 to sea.
 Lieutenant Stark was ordered first to determine whether the U' boat YVES within tho three-mile lim' it. It she was, he was Co hold her up and demand an explanation of why she was there.
 "If the answer is net satisfactory you are Co sink her." was the or der
