Her call. heard here shortly be- fore 10 b.m.. AST. said she was at "latitude 47.52 north, longitude 50.34 west."

1i1e 4.B68-ton Shes! Crown last was reported leaviniz Baltimore on Dec. 18 foi" Land's End, England.

Maritime circles expressed the be. lief that it would be possible for a large ocean-going submarine to op- erate in that vicinity.

Durinx the first Great War the German submarine Deutschland macle two 20-day trips to the United States and returned to Germany with commercial cargoes.

Before the United States entered the war in i917 the fighting sub- marine U-53 also stunned in an East Coast port. 0n her outward voyage she sank six Allied and. neu- tral contraband ships a few miles at sea. Before the war ended. Ger- man submarines picked off 91 ships in American-coastal water's.

There have been numerous re- ncris of Nazi submarine activity during the last year in the Carib- bean and off the coast of South America.
