tain of Liner Says.

Los Angeles, July 2S-Four sub
marines, which left Los Angeles
Tuesday for Hampton Roads as part
of flotilla of II, scheduled for de-
comissioning, were reported missing
off the the lower California coast
south of Ensenada. .,. =,
The craft said to be missing were
the Is, L-6, IL and L-8, all OF
which were built at Long Beach
during the year. =
The story of the apparent disap-
appearance of the four submarines
was brought to Los Angeles by the
liner City of Honolulu, Capt. Thomas
w. Sheridan, from New York. i
Capt. Sheridan said that Thurs
day, below Ensenada the City of
Honolulu sighted cloud of smoke
some distance away and changed its
course to learn the cause.
1T was a submarine, badly smok-
ing," he said. 1T made no answer
to our signals.
Later" continued Capt. Sheridan,
1--WE signalled the tender Beaver,
which had the submarines in COM
voy. At first she made no answer to
our signals, but later responded to
our semaphore offer of assistance.
She said she had eight submarines
in convoy and needed no help"
A message received at the sub
marine base at Los Angeles harbor
from Commander Roy Y. Slower, in
command of the submarine flotilla,
stated he had eight submarines in
convoy. The message contained no
reference to the other four.
The submarine also intercepted a
message from the tender Beaver to
the L-8, ordering her to stand by to
take tow line from the LIS.
OFFICERS at the submarine base
were unable to account for these two
craft or the other two of the L-type
missing.
1t was believed definite information
the vessels would not be
received here before Saturday when
the flotilla was due at Acapulco,
Mexico, to take in tow the sub
marine S-32, recently disabled.
The other eight craft in the flotilla
were the H-8, H-3, H-4, HIS, H-6,
HI, H-8 and H-9.
Capt. Cheridan said he counted on

to which was attached the two de-
linquent schedules, was brought to
