READY TO LIFT SUBMARINE
Two officers and Fourteen Men Per-
ished in Sunken Tomb.

Biserta, Tunis, Oct. 22.-The divers
working on the French submarine
boat Lutin, which went down off this
port Oct. 16 with fourteen men and
two officers on board, succeeded in
digging a tunnel under her stern,
through which a hawser was passed.
A heavy chain has been placed in po-
sition under the submarines bows and
the preparations for lifting her are
now complete.
All efforts to remove the bodies
from the Lutin have proved in vain.
Through the window of the hatch
divers have perceived two corpses,
with arms interlocked. The position
Of these bodies Is such as to make 1t
impossible to open the manhole, and
therefore ingress to the submarine
cannot be had. The two bodies seen
from outside cannot be identified, but
there is reason to be lieve that one,
clad in a white shirt, is that OF Lieu
tenant Fepoux, commander OF the
Lutin.

fears that some undisclosed develop
