SUB GOES DOWN
AFTER PASSING
MAJOR PERILS
Undersea Boat Piles Up on
Ferly Reef Rock When
Nearing Destination

New York, July 7-LP--The Y. 8,
Submarine S-51 went aground TODAY
between the williamsburg bridge and
the Queensboro bridge in the East
river, while being towed to the navy
/ yard here.
The Ssh had just passed through
what, were believed to be her major
perils of the journey here, possible
sinking again in the deep waters of
the sound and loss in the swirling
waters of He'll Gate. All seemed to
be IN order for speedy and safe
arrival when the undersea boat sud.
denly piled up on Ferly Reef Rock,
between the two bridges.
The S-5l was being towed in tan.
dem by the tugs loka and Sycamore.
civilian pilot who had joined the
escort during the night was in charge
OF guiding the flotilla to the navy
yard. Second civilian pilot was on
the Falcon, lead ship of the convoy.
Buoy Was Missing
Captain ". B. Tomb, commanding
the Vestal, said that buoy which
should have designated the Ferly
Reef Rock. was missing. Up to three
or four minutes before the S-5l went
aground the Vestal had been leading
the fl0tilla.
The most dangerous part of the
l5O-mile trip to the navy yard from
the place where the submarine was
raised after nine months submersion
following its collision last Septem-
ber with the steamer City of Rome,
was considered by navy officers to be-
the near Execution Rock. This
had been safely passed. When the
accident occurred. Lieutenant Cam
mander E. r. Sauer, who had piloted
the Vestal's course among the danger
GUS shoals and reefs, had just lighted
cigarette, sayinga "l've done my
job. I'm sorry couldn't take her all
the way through"
He had brought the S.-5l, 1876 miles
through open seas. fogs, coastwise
traffic and other dangers. the longest
tow of its kind on record.
Ten minutes before the S-ll went
aground Admiral Plunkctt,, command
ant Of the New York navy yard, had
left the Falcon, where he had COM
plimentcd the captain and other Off
GERS for their skill, aud had declared
that the navy would be proud to have
such feat to it's credit. The ad-
miral then went ashore.
Officers said that the missing
buoy and the misguidance Of the
CIVILIAN pilots were the cause Of the
grounding.
