there is an element of danger to pas-

:under cover of darkness, of a sub-
marine intent upon eluding possible
enemy ships. was the statement made
here today. It is understood that a
similar admission has been made by

The boats from this port, from
Providence, Fall River and New
Bedford, bound for New York, and
Sound boats returning to these ports
from the metropolis, pass through
Long Island Sound, crossing the}
course a vessel would take in a
dash from New' London harbor
through the Race to the open sea
a few miles southwest of the west-
ern end of Fishers Island.

While within the territorial waters

ing this or any other port on the.
coast would have to carry the usual
