4 BODIES IDENTIREL NAVY PROBING DSASTER (Continued from First Page) Over which the 8-4 was operating submerged might have drifted 100 to 150 yards to the southeastward. Taking into account the probable directions of the two vessels, the ‘witness said the Paulding might pos- sibly have been sighted by the §-4 through its periscope at a distance of approximately 4,400 yards. The time between the sizhting and the collision would be about 61 minutes. The Paulding, on the other hand, would not have been able to see the periscope of the submarine more than 1,000 to 1,500 yards, and then “only if the lookout knew what he ‘was looking for." The time elapsing Dbefore a collision, with the destroyer making 18 knots, would be about two minutes. Under conditions pre- valling on Dec. 17, it was possible that the “feathering” of the peris- eope was not visible to the surface craft. At the request of the judge advo- | cate, Commander Leslie E. Bratton, | the witness read into the record the tules prescribed by the navy text books for safe operation of sub- marines. Danger Emphasized These emphasized the danger of collixion with surface craft while a submarine is operating submerged. Lieut.
