Earlier repc had it that Hinsch had been rescued by the Deutschland. of the members of the tug’s crew wers in sight and he considered it possible that the tug went down with the men at their various stations, the captain in the pilot house and tise engineer in his engine.room, giv- fng them practically no chance for their lives.

It was learned later, however that the undersea boat has in her bow at least one hole about twenty inches square. A portable forge was taken down to the pier and the hole is being patched up. It was learned that the Deutsch- land carries duplicate ts for her mrachinerv but it was said none of would have to be used as the terior escaped injury. Captain W. A. Fones, shore super- intendent of the Scott company, which has charge of the repairs, said he expected that the Deutschland would be ready to leave within two or three days Reports that a U-boat with gun mfounted was waitin outside the fhree mile limit supposedly to convoy the Deutschiand failed of confirma- tion here Commander Yates irling o2 the s rine basc said he had re- ceived s from his boats of the e of the stranger.

Assistant Supt. Albert F. Mix, of | was decided upon 2 steam- | For | the Scott company, who was on the deck of the tug Cassic when the T. A. Scott, Jr.,, was sunk, told of the rescue of Captain Hinsch. He said: “I attached a rope to a life belt and threw in the direction of Hinsch, who was struggling in the water. Captain Hinsch was nearly exhausted when hauled aboard and become uncon- ious soon afterward, remaining t state for two hours,” Mix said. The accident took place at 2:30 a. m. one-half mile west of Race Rock light. The point in question is undoubtedly familiar to all mariners. The water is fifty to sixty feet in depth and the current is swift. “The crew of the tug were inside the boat and were penned in like so many trapped rats. They went down with the tug, and I doubt if their bodies are ever recovered unless the tug should be raised. “Captain Hinsch was on the deck of the tug and was thrown clear by the collision,” and that fact saved him from going down with the others.” War Submarine Off A submarine which appeared through the Race just outside New London harbor, during a snow storm today, caused considerable specula- tion as ashore. First suggestions were that the craft was a German naval submarine, assigned to convoy the Deutschland and across, which had come to investigate the merchant- man’s delay. The fact that a gun reported mounted on the submersi- ble’s deck and that no flag could be seen because of the storm made it impossible to determine the vessel's identity. Commander Yates Stirling, in charge of the United States naval base bere, said the matter had been re- ported to him in similar form but as he had been previously notified that the 14 which has been man- cuvering off Block Island was to be put through tests in the Sound, he thought it probable that this was the submarine reported. ew London. 20 Badly Needed. hington, Nov. 17.—The German embassy regarded the accident as be- pecially deplorable because ma- aboard the Deutschland is ur- ¢ needed in Germany and the of- mail aboard is an accumulation of three weeks, which the embassy desires to reach Berlin at the earliest ble. moment. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, made inquiries regarding the identity of the victims of the dis- aster. He expressed the hope that the Deutschland was not damaged to such an extent as to cause her sailing to be much postponed. No Hostile Launch Involved. Washington, Nov. 17.—Official re- ports from the collector at New Lon- don, Conn., add nothing to the unof- 1 reports of the Deutschland'’s hap and contain nothing what- ever to substantiate a published re- port that a hostile motor launch at- tempted ot ram the submarine. Sec- retary Daniels has called for a navy report from Rear Admiral Grant, in charge of the American submarine flotilla. Slight Damage to Submarine. Baltimore, Nov. 17.—The damage to the Deutschland apparently was ight, according to officials of the North German Lloyd line here, who got into long distance telephonic com- munication with the offices of the Jlastern Forwarding company at New London, when they learned of the collision between the submarine and her tug this morning. A thorough ex- amination, however, would be made at once, they said to determine the exact damage.

TROLLEY EXTENSION IS BEING AGITATED Plan to Extend Francis Street Line to Connect With Elmwood Trolley Is Up Again. Residents of Stanley Quarter and others interested in the project, in- cluding people living in Elmwood and Newington, are said to be ready to resume a campaign for a trolley ex- tension from Francis street to con- nect with the Elmwood trolley at Elmwood. This plan has been dis- cussed many times but nothing ever came of it. A number of influential men are said to be interested in the project and rumor has it that the public util- ities commission may be brought into the argument in case the trolley com- pany does not take kindly to the proposition. It is said that the dis tance ocer which a new line would have to be constructed is ap- proximately three and one-half miles. Real estate men have made the statement that poor transporation fa- cilities are hindering the growth of the northern section of the city be- vond Francis street and also prevent- ing the growth of Newington and Elmwood in° that vicinity. It is claimed that the construction of such a trolley line would be more feasible than over any other route inasmu as most of the property near wh the line would pass within distance of city water, ecither from New Britain or West Hartford. Fur- thermore, real estate men assert that many families have had to move from this city to Hartford in order to reach their places of employment at Royal Typewriting company and oth- er concerns in that section of Hart- ford with a line from Francis street to the Elmwood trolley line workers could obtain quick and direct transportation to their places of em- ployment. Those most interested -in the pro- ject state that action will be taken within a few days in an attempt to bring about the desired end. ort CABINET IN SESSION.
