SHIP CROSSES SAFELY.
Lucia Arrives at European Port, Pass
ing Through Danger Zone.

The Lucia, first nonsinkable steam
ship, has slipped through the subma-
rine zone, and is now at European
port, it was learned last night.
The Lucia left Hampton Roads, Va,
"about three weeks ago" according to
Edward F.. Cary, director of opera
tions of the United States Shipping
Board.
She carried "rush" cargo Of sup
niles for the western front, and be-
cause of that fact the originally pro-
posed test OF sending her without
convoy was postponed, and she went
in company with other vessels under
naval protection.
1t is expected the Lucia will start
on her return voyage within a week
or so and will be due here early in
May. /.
Whether she will make an avowed
challenge to the U-boats on her return
voyage has not yet been determined,
though the confidence of her inventor
seeks that most drastic test, with the
approval of the Shipping Board Off
cials.
Only the lack of ships, the urgent
need of supplies and the fact that the.
Lucia was loaded and ready to clear
port with the very supplies needed,
caused an abandonment Of the .inten-
ton to send her to sea openly and
without protection other than the
bouyant continuance Of her inventor.
The Iucia's nonsinkableness de-
ponds on a multiplicity of portable
watertight cells or boxes, secured in
out-of- the-way places about the ship
and disposed in her cargo holds and
compartments to effect a precalcu-
lated buoyancy sufficient to keep her
afloat even if pierced by one or more
torpedoes.
The apparatus in the invention Of
William F. Donnelly, marine engin-
eer, Of New York City.
The Lucia was an Austrian steam-
ship Of 5000 tons, and was seized N
New Orleans, where the tests of Mr..
Donnelly's invention occupied about
four months before completed.
