Paulsberg, it was stated, had un- questionably been ight in the sink- ing vessel and had been drowned when the water poured into the craft through open vents and conning tower. According to Rear Admiral Stick- ney, the accident resulted from a tor- pedo tube having been left open and through which water swept from light swell in the harbor.

Prior to the disaster thi entire crew, it was said, was inside the hull getting torpedoes ready for battle Practice, Suddenly the rear torpede tube apparently yielded to sea pres- sure and opened. The vesssel began to fill rapidly and the members of the crew rushed for the conning tower.
