TWISTER HITS
CITY; DAMAGE
SAID SLIGHT
ORNADO CUT ACROSS
WESTERN SECTION OF IS
LAND AT LATE HOUR LAST
NIGHT

A small-sized tornado struck in
the western section of the is
land at 1870 o'clock last night,
terrified residents and left in a
few moments.
AT the Naval Station one of the
small ganways, which cross from
one pier to the other, had been
ripped from the points of sup
port, carried quite a distance, and
dropped into the water. A sea-
grape tree, which was standing
nearby, was uprooted and an
other was damaged. One of the
Station skiffs was also turned
upside down.
Meteorologist G. S. Kennedy
said that the 'twister' cloud
which forms into the shape of a
funnel had come down to earth at
the edge of the island where the
gangway had been swept away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Max Lord were
asleep in their home when sud-
denly they were awakened by a
terrific shaking of the house. One
door, which was held. shut by a
chair, was threatening to fall in.
Mrs. Lord, fearing it was some
strange sort of storm, awakened
MIR. Lord, and looking outside
they saw a terrible disturbance
kicking up in the street.
Next door a large showcase
frame fell out in the street, torn
loose by the storm, which was
also felt in the vicinity of the
city hall Bits of slate roofing
were found in several yards.
Weather Bureau reported that
a strong squal was in evidence
at the time. Miami reported a
small -wister also this week.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Pro-
posal for a two ocean navy has
been considered by the Navy De-
partment for some time and is

The two ocean navy would de-

Stephen Early, secretary to

iterated that the President has
received no peace proposal from

peace pleas.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
scientist and noted flier, last

proposal for a revised neutrality
act still has a clear cut majority

NAH SUB SINKS

ROYAL OAK. TORPoEDED
VESSEL. BUILT DURING
FIRST WORLD WAR
lIlx A.suclatea Pre-.l

LONDON, Oct. l4.-British
warship Royal Oak" was sunk
today by a German submarine
with $40 saved and the remainder
of the crew of 300 still missing.
Berlin radio reports boosted of
sinking one of England's modern
warships. but the Admiralty an
nounced that the Royal Oak was
25 years old, having been built
during the World War days. She
carried a modern torpedo bulge,
which is an extra 13-inch band
of steel supposed to stop damage
by torpeooes. II was also equip
ped with special devices to de
tect the presence of submarines.
The torpedoing followed the
sinking of the largest English
freighter yesterday and a French
vessel also. The airship carrier
Courageous" was sunk recently
with loss of 578 lives. The Ber-
lin radio continues to assert that
the British aircraft carrier "Ark
Royal has also been sunk, and
thus far there has been no con-
tradiction from London.
Nazis believe that the effec-
tiveness of the English blockade
has been impaired by the recent
sinkngs Germany has been
pinched through England's stop
ping of entrance of all products.

AWAITING FURTHER PATROL ORDERS

What is the story behind all

Well, here it is!
Early in the morning on Sep

against Germany. On September

Three reported a submarine off
the main ship channel bouy. Cap
tain and crew of the Department

here indefinitely. Another ar
rived here the following week.
Tuesday night of this week
three Navy planes arrived for an
indefinite basing at Key West
Naval Station.
Last Saturday night it was re-
ported that two tankers were re-
fueling submarine off Miami.
Later reports revealed that the
two tankers were screening the
submarine in between it while it

was being refueled. The ships
were Italian vessels. Italy would
not be violating the neutrality
act if its ships were refueling the
submarines since a submarine of
a warning nation may enter
American ports for refueling.
However, the stay may be only
for 24-hour period.
Italian ships have been getting
oil from Mexico and have large
contracts out. They have also
been securing high-grade of
4uel oil from Houston, Texas.
The German submarine fleet is
reported to consist of 10 vessels
with most of them small, around
1000 tons, and capable of long
range cruising. Representative
Snyder told Congress yesterday
that there were six known in
Caribbean waters.
This morning the three de-
'stroyers. Reuben James, Claxton
and Rabbit. are still in port, re-
fueled and with a heavy load of
provisions. They have been in
port since late Thursday night
when one of the destroyers made
its last daily trip out to the Reef
and the Reuben James came in
before it's patrol limit was sched-
uled. At present they are still

Lieut.. -Comdr., F. H. Callahan,
in command of Key West Naval
Station, confirmed the above dis
patch. He is awaiting complete
details. His radio advisement
was received last night.
When the Station was in COM
mission in World War days, there
was a commandant, staff of %
officers, 65 marines, $50 civilian
employees, and an enlisted naval
personnel of 100. The monthly
payroll was $4,000.
Removed from the Station is
an old Marine Railway which
was too small for present size
destroyers. The machine shop is
in good condition. Fuel tanks
have never been taken out as the
Station has been often used for
refueling purposes. Under re-
Mobilization is the Seaman's Bar
racks and four buildings of the
officers group. The rehabilita-
ton was to accommodate a flight
of naval seaplanes, which were to
base here. Ii the Marine Rail-
way is to be rebuilt under new
orders it must be great deal
larger. Orders had called for an
increase of Civil Service person
mel to so during the winter.
W.P.A. project to rehabilitate
the Marine Barracks will get un-
derway Monday.
