the district attorney of Delaware

to the Philadelphia county authorities

snow in the upper Kennebec basin.
Past records show that spring
freshets on the kennebec have
usually occurred late in April 1t
will be recalled that our last freshet
of any size began on April 80, 1928.
At the present time the water level
in Moosehead Lake is still dropping
as water is being drawn from it for
use at the power plants below. The
amount of water held in storage in
this lake at present is less than six
billion cubic feet. The total ca
pacity of the lake is almost twenty
four billion cubic feet. No appreci-
able rise has been noted vet in the
Dead. Carrabassett or Sandy Rivers,
the principal tributaries of the Ken
nebec which come in below Moose
head Lake. In the event of a sudden
thaw the gates at Moosehead would
be closed and a drainage area of 1910
square miles shut off from draining
into the lower river until after high
water conditions were over.
There is about 209o less water on
the ground in the form of snow now
than there was at this time in 1928.
However, If a period of warm
weather, continuing "a hours a day,
occurs, or a. continuous rain, before
any great amount of the snow in
| the upper kennebec has passed off,
there will be a freshet. In all prob
ability. however, in the light of past
records. we shall not look for high
water at the present time"

about % miles northward. We then
made quick dive of so feet, adj
justed the ballast and went to 10
feet, where the ballast was again ad-
Justed. This was necessary on ac-
count of the-compression of the wa
ter against the hull, which decrea sed
the buoyancy of the ship and was
equivalent to making it heavier.
Then the vessel went to 215 feet,
the ballast was once more adjusted
and we ran for half an hour at five
knots an hour at depths ranging
from els to 220 feet. The vi, by
the way, went to 204 feet, so ours
was a record for V class submarines.
During the run all apparatus was
tried out, including the torpedo
tubes, pumps and other machinery.
Everything was o K and the only
casualty was the breaking of low
pressure blow line "a pipe running
from a ballast Tank, which COLLAPSE
ed under the water pressure. This
had no effect on the vessel, however.
and she handled extremely well
through the test The reflections of
the hull due. to the pressure were
very slight.
"At the conclusion Of all the tests
the submarine rose to the fifty foot
level, and when the periscope showed
all clear we rose to the surface. l
consider the test to have been
great success"
