WASHINGTON, Tues. Permission to sink the submarine Nautilus in the North Sea off the coast of Norway was granted to-day to Sir Hubert Wilkins by the Shipping Board, which at first refused to grant such permission.

It then became a question of whether they would have to retreat or get through. It was a tieklish time.
