They told a newsman it might have been a Russian sub but added that their surmise was based only on their understanding that | no American subs were in the area and that Canada has none, Could it have been a whale? No, the skippers say, because whales ) cannot stay submerged for such ! long periods. The tow rides followed each other. The Evzone was towed an hour and a half, the Cherokee about 25 minutes.
