NO HOPE FOR CREW
Of THE SUNkEN
SUBMARINE BOAT

Bizerta, Oct. 1S.-Hope OF saving the
men on board the submarine boat Lutin,
which went down of this port Tuesday,
on her submersIon trials with her crew Of
II men, and did not come up again, was
abandoned yesterday, when the divers,
owing TO the bad weather conditions and
the great depth OF the water. gave UP
their attempts 10 reach the boat.
IL Is not even certain that the object
they saw dimly at the bottom OF the sea
Is the Lutin. The work. however, will be
resumed today. English grapplers, with
their apparatus have arrived from Nal
Ia. The object which is supposed to be
one diver has been able 20 go down more
than half that distance.
Fourteen salvage vessels now form a
Gordon around the spot where the Lutin
went down. The divers descend In re-
lays and are displaying untiring energy.
All their endeavors, however, to obtain
dehnite knowledge as 70 the Luuns po-
OF the powerful lifting apparatus on the
spot has been in vain.
The British admiralty has sent a bat
tleship, cruiser and torpedo boat de-
stroyer, as well as several tugs, TO as
sist I'm the search. Last night the sea
had moderated and the work today will
be continued under better conditions.
The officers engaged in the salvage
work express the certainty that the crew
OF the Lutin has perished. Members OF
the crew OF the tug Ishkul, which con-
voyed the Lutin on her last voyage. de-
clare that the submarine plunged twice
successfully. and that after she had gone
twice above the surface OF the water be-
fore she finally disappeared This leads
10 the belief that the catastrophe resulted
from a sudden leak at the stern.
