  SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE ON THE REVICTUALLING OF
  

  SUBMARINES AT SEA.
  

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

  
  

  To refill its side reservoirs with petroleum a submarine
  

  has no need of a pump - a pipe is screwed on to a nozzle in
  

  the top of the reservoir and is passed across to the supply
  

  vessel, and the petroleum is poured straight from the tins
  

  into a funnel at the end of the pipe.
  

  It is obvious that if this is done in a small boat at
  

  night, and with any sea running, a considerable quantity of

  petroleum would be spilt.
  

  Further, a large percentage of parrafin and petroleum
  

  tins either leak outright or sweat freely. The French
  

  cruisers have several times seized quantities of petroleum
  

  in tins from sailing vessels in the Syrian waters, and have
  

  been obliged to put a sand barrier round the tins stacked
  

  on board the cruiser to prevent the loose spirit from running
  

  all over the Deck.
  

  It is therefore certain (a) that if the Evangelista had
  

  been carrying petroleum there would be marks of such leakage
  

  on the decks, and (b) that had she recenetly supplied
  

  petroleum to a submarine there would have been a good deal
  

  spilt over the sand ballast.
  

  The fact that there were such stains and that that the
  

  sand was impregnated with petroleum seems to admit of no
  

  other explanation than that the vessel had carried petroleum
  

  and had supplied it to a submarine.
