Bajyliss' Story where the Paulding rounded the proaching Provincetown harbor on December 17, Commander Bayliss id he had told the officer of the |deck to steer a parallel course to the buoys as he intended to'turn to the Westward after examining two ves- sels anchored off the harbor. “I noted a bell buoy off Long Point, and a spar buoy a little far- ther inshore,” Commander Bayliss said. “I stepped into the chart room to look at the chart and see if we had plenty of sea room. It was my intention to turn off and make: for the Plymouth shore. “As I was coming out of the room I heard the officer of the deck sing out ‘Right full.’ Then I saw coming up under our port bow what appear- ed to be something resemhling spa: fish stakes or markers for nets, I saw we would have to back at full speed to avoid striking it full and | possibly fouling it with our screws. “Then the officer of the deck ishouted ‘It's a submarine emerging.' In a few seconds it was plain that the submarine was emerging rapidly under the port bow. The ship had {begun to swing slowly to the- right and at the time of the impact the engines were beginning to get a good grip on the water. But in spite of the backing the submarine struck us at about this time. As near as I could tell it was struck forward of the conning tower. At the time of the collision I could sec the peri- scope a few feet above.the conning tower, Terrific Crash “We hit with a terrible crash, giv- ing the feeling of running up on the beach over rocks. There was a ter- rible grinding and®ripping of metal and the destroyer scemed to come up out of the water. “I immediatgly ordered the gines stopped. The submarine was not. visible on the starboard side then. As I went over to the port side somiebody told me the sub- marine had just gone down in the | ake of the port gun. They had n it sliding under the Paulding listed at an angle of from 20 to 30 degrees. . Commander Bayliss said that the time of the collision the general alarm was given and the ecrew or- | dered to the stations for “abandon ship.” A boat was lowered, a man sent to investigate the damage to the destroyer, and an anchor buoy with a weight attached was thrown over- board to mark the spot as well as possible. An urgent “H. C." signal was hoisted to call out a boat from the shore coast guard station. The Pading remained at the scenc several minutes. No survivors were seen. Oil came to the surface and scemed to pass under the de- stroyer as the vessel drifted to the castward. The destroyer's lifcboat searched Jn the vicinity for surviv- ors or marks of the identity of the submarine, as the witness said he [had not known which vessel he had struck. Tinally the leak in the bow |of the Paulding forced him to head |for the harbor. The Paulding was sinking by the head ¥n inch at & {time and there was danger that a bulkhead might give way. Commander Bayliss said he had at once sent messages to Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, commanding the (first naval district, and to the coast guard authorities. He had learned of the identity of the §-4 from an officer who put off from the naval( en- tug Wandank in response to signals from the Paulding. “We have just been in collision with that submarine and sunk it," the witness sald he had informed the lofticer. The witness told of the arrival at tho scene of practically all the coast guard destroyers of division three, and of mavy rescuc craft. Because | of the fnclement weather, he said, little could be attempted. He said he had offered to go on board the navy salvage ship Ialcon to discuss the collision with Rear Admiral Frank H. Brumby, but the latter had not accepted the offer. The ex- tent of the injury to the Paulding was described. The kecl was' torn way at the bow and the bottom at |that point ripped as far back as “frame 25."

J. Doyle, representing the | interests of the §-4 victime, waived cross examination. Before leaving the stand the witness read to the court the formal report of the col- lision as made to him by the com- mander gf the coast guard destroy- er division. “I only wish to state further that I feel very decply concerned over | the serious accident as my whole life has been devoted to saving life and property at sea,” the witness said in conclusion. Feels Deeply “When a thing of this kind hap- jpens, the first in my experience, {1 cannot help but feel deeply. My | decpest sympathies are with the un- fortunate victims and their surviv- ing relatives.” Rear Admiral RicWard H. Jack- son, president of the court, thanked Commander Bayliss for his “frank | and fair narrative of the collision and his subsquent proceedings, which has greatly facilitated the es- tablishment of the facts in this case.” Commander Leslie E.

Salvaging operations were de- layed, however, because of the dif- ference In the temperatures of the water and atmosphere. Tests made this morning showed that the air pumped into a lowered diver's helmet feom the deck of the U. 8. §. Falcon had condensed into snow because of the excessive mois- ture in the atmosphere. The tem- perature of the water at the 102 feot depth was 34 degrees and that of the air was 42, The officers directing the salvag- ing operations hoped to resume the work some time this afternoon. They belicved that there were more bodies in the.motor compartment, where but one has been found so far. The divers will continue the work of adjusting valves and them con- nect air lines to each of the sub- marine’s compartments - to make them buoyant. Rear Admiral Frank H. Brumby, directing the work, has said that the hole in the starboard: side of the battery room, made by the Paulding, will not be touched until the $-4 is raised. He explained that if all of the other compartments were closed apd blown with air, the submarine could be raised with pontoons even with the great hole in her side. Diver Willlam Carr, stricken with the “bends” yesterday when he was brought to the surface after his hour below was fully recovered to- day. His case was the first suffered by: a diver since the beginning of tho §-4 operations. Funeral For Victims Washington, Jan. 9 (UP)—The nation’s capital, preparing for & widespread investigation of subma- rines and the submarine disaster S-4, paused today to honor three of the dead of the tragedy. ‘With the senate planning this week to adopt the Hale-Butler reso- lution for an investigation, follow- ing the house's Saturday adoption, the capital made ready to give mili- tary honor to Licut. Commander Roy K. Jones, commander of the §-4, and his colleagues, Lieut, Commander William F. Callaway and Licut. Jos- eph McGinley. Their bodies were to be interred this afternoon in Arlington ceme- tery. Services were to be held in “WT Fort Myer chapel with three chap- lains officiating. Four companies of satlors have been assigned as escort for the bodics of the two lieutenant commanders, and two for Lieut. Mc- Ginley. The cortege will pass on from the Fort Myer chapel to the cemetery proper, where with the flag lower- cd, a gun salute will be fired and “taps” will be played. NO SMALLPOX FEAR FROM TOWN PUPILS (Continued From First Page) lin, and for this reason all children will be excluded from school until {they are vaccinated or until the dan- ger of contagion fis entirely passed. Dr. Roger M. Griswold, health of- ficer of Berlin has issued this order lnhd informed Miss Mary Griswold, | superintendent of the Berlin schools, of his edict. His letter states: “Owing to the prevalence of small- pox in-the town of Cromwell and other towns in the Middlesex county, and the suspected and probablo ex- posure of certain residents and school children of Berlin to the excuse for failure to take vaccine, the vaccination order must be com- plied with by Thursday. some pupils from East Hampton. The Valley Fountain Company of East Hampton has ordered that its employes be vaceinated. On board a_ vessel undergoing trials Admirdl Bostwick sald, the representative of the inspection. board had the status of a passenger flag officer. He communicated his schedule of trials verbally to the, commanding officer but had no part in the operation of the veasel. The witnees produced correspond- ence from the files of his board ge- lating to the 8-¢ trials. This also covered the assigning of the naval tug Wandank as a tender for the submarines. Patrol Not Necessary In reply to a question Admiral Bostwick said that had the Wan- dank been desired to act as station ship while the 8-4 was making her runs the senior member of the board of inspection and survey could have ordered her to act in this capacity. “I think had Lieut. Commander Callaway thought it necessary or desirable to have the Wandank pa- trol the submerged or surface trials of the 8-4, he would have done 3o, the witness said. “I believe he w: thoroughly competent for the work he had in charge.” Admiral Bostwick said the outer trial range at Provincetown -had been in use since 1901 or 1803 and had been used by the navy since 1906. The inner course, on which the 8-4 was operating, was lald down in 1907, Both had been frequently used since for all classes of vessels. The records of the navy department showed that ¢9 submarines had un- dergone standardization trials over the two courses, Reason For Trip The Provincetown range, the wit- ness said, was suitable for the pur- pose becauss of its proximity to shore, its sheltered situation from prevailing winds, its proximity to a good harhor, its depth of water, and the fact that it was reasonably close to the Boston and Portsmouth navy yards. He said that while the work was more disagreeable and tedious n winter, there was no reason why submarine trials should not be con ducted at any season. The fact that Provincetown was not in the usual path of commercial vessels made it desirable as a trlal course, he added. In response to questions by the president of the court, Admiral Bostwick said he knew of no reason why the 8-¢ during her trials should have submerged deeper than peri- scope depth. At that depth, at least two feet of her periscope would be above the surface of the water. Admiral Bostwick concluded his testimony at 12:25 o'clock and court rocessed until two. 0. E. §.
