               night three battle lookouts were on watch. They stood no other
               duties. They stood one-hour watches, reliefs being staggered
               every twenty minutes. System worked very well. Binoculars
               for the lookouts were inadequate and insufficient.
               No night attacks were made. It is not known whether any
               targets ever passed through the area or not. None were sighted
               but on several nights a darkened target coud 1-have passed
               within 5oo yards and would never have been sighted due to poor
               visibility conditions.

1. The data required by paragraph 6 of reference (a) is summarized below. All figures are from midnight to midnight with the exception of the entries regarding K.W.H. discharged submerged, auxiliary load on surface and K.W.H. charged. These figures are from 0600 to 0600. The reason for this being that the charging done during the night is covered completely and actually shows how many K.W.H. were put back into the battery following the all day drive.

10. (Continued)

On five of the eight days on the patrol line, navy
patrol planes were sighted. In two cases recognition signals were
exchanged by flashing light. In the other three cases the planes
did not approach within signaling distance.

Adequate provisions were carried for 26 days in all items
except potatoes, eggs, and bread. The potatoes lasted 14 days,
eggs 16 days. Bread was baked every night after the 8th day.

struct Diving operations(Contd.)    Friday,  30 January 1942.

    STATEMENT OF SUTHER,  F.B., G.M., (Dive #2.)

Landed on submarine about thirty feet aft cf the conning tower on starboard side. Took descending line forward and scoured it to seat on the starboard side of the gun. Inspected hatch leading to 0...U.C. and found it closed. Returned to descending line and came to surface. Visibility was about eight feet. Telephone worked  OK but communication was inadequate. (SMITH later stated he meant the “conning tower hatch” and that he meant he had difficulty in getting communications through).

    STATEMENT OF STOUT, D.R., S.T.O., (Dive #2.)

I landed on the breach of the gun, unshackled the hose from the descending line and carried it aft on the starboard side, and secured it to the life line aboce the deck cleat.
