The submersible had not re- sponded to wireless calls sent out from shore stations and naval vessels, and this led marine men to expres fears that the boat had suffered at least an accident to her wireless ap- paratus. A heavy fog hung over the ccast between here and Cape Romain, forty miles north of here, where the K-5 last was sighted, and this made more difficult the tas of the searcher: The K-5, with three other sub- marines of the same type—the K-1, K-2 and K-6—convoyed by the sub- marine tender Tallahassee, left New York January 27, enroute for Key West, Fla., for mancuvers in southern waters.
