SAY LIGHTS OF Ssh
SHOULD HAVE Been
VISIBLE I MILES

Boston, Oct. 15-(AP)-The mast
head and stern lights of the sub
marine S51 should have been visible
for seven miles when she was ram
med and sunk with the loss of 80
lives by the steamer City of Rome
off Block Island, Lieutenant j. J..
Lenny, U. S. n, testified today before
the naval inquiring board investigat-
ing the disaster.
The officer, commander of the sub
marine $50, sister ship of the ILL
fated vessel, said that her sideligh.s
can be seen for a distance of two
miles on clear night. The visibil-
ity on the night of the disaster, he
said, was excellent.
Testimony that the S-51 sank two
miles south of the spot reported by
Captain John H. Diehl of the City of
Rome when he sent the first news of
the disaster by radio to the sub
marine base at New London, almost
four hours after it had happened,
was given by Lieutenant Command
er j. A. Brownell, commanding off,
Ger OF the second submarine division.
Describing the first rescue steps,
he said that he proceeded from the
submarine base to the scene of the
disaster at 4.30 o'clock on the u. S.
S. Camden, mother ship of the sub
marine fleet, and every other craft IN
the base which could be manned. The
destroyer Putnam which put out
from Newport was first on the scene.
Commander Brownell said nothing
was sighted about the spot indicated
in Captain Diehfs radio message but
that two miles south was an Oil COW
cred area, a mile long and half mile
wide.
1t was in this area, he said. that an
aviator sighted the sunken sub
marine while flying overhead. When
the ST. steamed to the spot, Com
mander Brownell said he saw two
streams of air bubbles rising to the
surface, about 80 feet apart.
The ST. was anchored over the
streams, he said, and her listening
gear tried out. Nothing was heard.
Other submarines tried listening
descended to the S-51 to tap out
signals on her matches but received
no answer. The witness said that
none of the S-51's records or docu-
ments had been recovered.
Commander Brownell said that the
Ssh, with the $50 was making her
monthly availability run when she
was rammed. This consists of II
hour endurance run on the surface 20
test the engines and an underwater
test. Of three hours to try out bat
teries and motors. The S-51 started
her surface run at $50 P. NJ. so that
she could submerge during the day
light hours of the next morning.
When court adjourned until to-
morrow morning the board an
nounced that Captain Diehl and the
members of his crew who will be
called to testify will not appear UNI
til October &c.

deer SEASON
OPENS IN 3 maine
COUNTIES TODAY

Bangor. Oct. 15-(AP)-The deer
hunting season in the eight northern
counties of Maine-Aroostook. Pts
cataquis. Lincoln, Somerset. Frank
lin, Washington, Hancock and OK
ford opens at dawn Friday. Condi-
lions are the most favorable in years.
The long summer drough shriveled
the leaves so that the trees were al
most bare when the heavy rains OF
last week came, completing the de-
mutation process. The rain made
travelling quiet and in most parts OF
northern Maine there is enough snow
remaining from last Saturdays
storm to make tracking easy. Re-
ports from wardens, guides and camp
keepers are to the effect that deer
are rather more plentiful this sea-
son. Only one deer is allowed to
hunter, under the amended law.
