The destroyer, on patrol duty off
Provincetown, was making for the
! harbor Suddenly her lookout saw
/ the SD running submerged dead
ahead. There was no time to sWerve
from the course and : the vessels
crashed. The destroyer made port with
her lower hold flooded. The Paulding
was struck amidships, but the point
at which the submarine 1elt the
force of the blow was not known.
The S-4 went down Immediately.
Boats that cruised about the place
for hours found no survivors, giving
! the faint hope that the submarines
! hull had not been pierced. A fresh
breeze and rough seas hampered the
work of the small boats taking part
in the work of rescue.
! The S-4 went down bare 1900
from the shore Off Wood End coast
guard station, which is situated Oh
the outer, Or ocean side OF the harbor.
The water at that point is very deep,
which, it was admitted, would IN
crease the difficulty of raising the
Sunken vessel
The Paulding's wireless message re-
porting the collision started a rescue
fleet from the New London coast
guard and submarine bases, and from
the Boston and Portsmouth, N. H.,
navy yards The submarine tender
Wandank was the first to reach the
position OF the collision. The Wood
End coast guard station sent its
life boats to search for possible sur
vivors, but without result.
The Paulding is a TAO ton destroyer
which was turned over by the navy
to the coast guard service. The S-4
while Of the same class as the S-51,
is somewhat smaller. She is 23l
feet long, and was built at the
Portsmouth navy yard in 1919. She
was making her standardization trials
after an overhauling when the col
lision occurred.
The Paulding was beached at Long
Point light in ProvincetoWn Harbor
when it became apparent that her
hull had been damaged badly A
member of her crew named Mac
\ MILAN, was seriously scalded by the
bursting OF steam pipe after the
collision. He will be taken to the
hospital here tomorrow.
A survey made by the Wandank
indicated that the water is from
IS to 20 fathoms in depth at the
point where the S-4 went down.
1t was impossible to undertake
efforts to raise the S-4 early tonight
because no vessels had reached the
scene with the necessary equipment
for the purpose. The Wandank
placed six buoys to mark the exact
point at which the submarine had
gone down Pontoons to be used in
lifting operations we're sent from New
London, but it was not expected that
they would be here before tomorrow
