Back at Philadelphia
Navy Yard
The mine layers Quinncbaug and
Saranac have returned tn the Philadel
phia Navy Yard nfter nearly eight
months' servlco nrerseas. The vessels
brought with them stories of thrilling
adventure Incident to tho sowing of the
mine barrage In the North Sea. which
so effectively quieted tho operations of
tho (lennan submarines In those waters,
Tho vessels were attached to the fleet
of mine layers operated under Admiral
Ileatty from Invergordon and Inverness,
Scotland, last June. Ulght other Ameri
can vessels of tho samo tie operated
with them, nrd the Fourteenth British
Destroyer Flctllla ncted ns their smoke ,
sflroen when submarine attacks lm- i
pended. I
Tho sowing of the North Sea bar
rage, which covered nn area of 320
miles In length anil varied fioin eleven
to twenty-five miles In width, was ac
complished by ten esscK 'n sixty-five
davs.
"And It was tough going In the be
ginning." C M. .lames, of the Saranac,
said, "The work was largely experi
mental at that time) nnd the mines were
ko delicately adjusted that a number of
premature explosions occurred. As we
gained experience, however, this defect
was remedied, nnd there were compara
tively few explosions from this cause
