u. 5. Yangtze Gunboai
TutuiIa Taken Out Of

Two Officers and Crew
Of 20 Leave Chinese
Capitol by Air
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUN KING, Jan. 29.-The
United States Yangtze River gun
boat Tutuila, which twice narrowly
escaped sinking in japanese bomb
raids on Chungking last summer has
been taken out of naval service by
decommissioning, it was announced
today.
The Tutuila, which carried the
United States Embassy staff from
Nanking to Hankow in 1887 and from
Hankow to Chungking in 1888, had
been stationed there ever since. Any
chance of leaving downriver was
wiped out last year by Japanese
mining of the Yangtze gorges be-
tween Chungking and Ichang.
Personnel Leaves Chungking.
It was announced that 1t. Comdr.
w. A. Bowers of North Carolina,
and 1t. A. w. Gardes of Wilmette,
Ill, along with the Tutuila's crew Of
20 enlisted men including three
Chinese mess attendants had left
Chungking by air. Their eventual
destination was not disclosed.
1t. DR.. William J. Grace Of
Swampscott, Mass, remained here
along with three enlisted men as
shipkeepers, six radio operators and
one Chinese mess attendant.
Built in Shanghai especially for
Yangtze River work, the 370-ton
gunboat armed with two 3-inch
guns and machine guns was
launched in 1927.
Japan Apologized Twice.
Twice the Japanese expressed
formal apologies-at Washington's
demand-over bombing which dam
aged the gunboat at Chungking.
The first time was in 1899 when
the japanese called the dumping Of
explosives alongside the Tutuila all
q mistake.
The next summer, however, bombs
fell within 100 yards OF the gunboat
in May. bomb fragments Scared
her in June, and she was damaged
by heavy explosions alongside her
In July.
Then, too, Japan formally ex-
pressed regrets. It was, spokes-
man said, just an accident.

BY TIE Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Memo
to enemy submarine COM
manders:
You're on the short end of

American ships, even tankers.
Marine underwriters, who al
ready have felt the presence of
submarines in United States

concession today by putting
into effect higher cargo war

only doubled the old rate Of so
cents per 500 Of insurance that
any given coastwise tanker
