' Deutschland Is Not Yet Safe Writer in Norfolk Paper ? ?iLi ? esting Explanation o\ ^Tuat May Yet Befall the Submarine Be fore it Reaches Home Port Aii Interesting and what appears to be a Qlauslble account of the ?ailing of the submarine. Deutsch land, appeared in yesterday's Nor folk Virginian -Pilot. The writer of the article Is of the opinion that the Deutschland, after she had cleared the capes, sailed well within the thi ee-mllq limit until ab?ut opposite the Pasquotank rirer. and then head ed straight across the Atlantic. Her pursuit by the allied warships, and the probable result of this puruslt, is told as follows: "Have you ever, whjle in swim ming, taken a small stone in each hand and, dropping under the water, clapped them together? if 50, you will know the loud *nolae their con tact m&Jres; much louder to your cars than if you had struck them to gether in the air. "On foggy days you can put your head beneath the water at Virginia Beach and hear the clang of the sub marine bell beneath the Cape Char les lightship, almost a score of miles away. "It is by hearing Instead of by scene that the Bloodhound of the 8e*5 does Its work. "The Brltlah did not have,?o use a big fleet of light cruisers t<? Illumine the entrance to the Chesapeake with their searchlights to know when the Deutschland passed out. Far away, probably a dozen miles off sh^re, one ship could be listening. .And the moment the Deutschland came with in a score of miles the whir of her propellers would be detected by the miscrophone* attached to the bottom of the chulser. one on each side, like ears. "The sound made by the screws of the Nubmarine would be different from tli.it made b> a cruiser, a de stroyer. a battleship or a merchant man on the surface. "Ale* the direction from which It jras coming and the direction In which It was moving could be accu rately determined. There was no more need for the crdlser to work Its searchlight than there was to go ahead of those bloodhounds with tunieru*. ".The offlter on the cruiser's bridge would get the reports from the man listening in on the microphone and would set his course accordingly. ?" "Down In the Deutschland Cap tain Kocnlg would get reports from the man listening In on the subma rines' microphones, and these reports would tell th* course of the under sea craft was being followed. Hour after hour the reports would be alike. Bare the men on ^he cruiser would know that ftielr quarry was Just ahead of them below the sur and Captain Koenig would I fknow that the cruiser was Just be hlnd him and above him ?

The mic rophouc man on the cruiser would notice the sound of the propellers had ceased and the officer on the bridge would give the order that would send the cruiser s anchor down, while the roar and rattle of the chain shooting through the haw ser pip* would fairly scream Into the ear of the submarine's mlcro phou. operator. "The quarry would be at bay. "And the hours would pass until darkness had Bet in on the surface. Then, slowly and cautiously, the submarine's pumps wsuld be eet to od Km ton th.
