FORM GORDON TO
LIFT SUBMARINE
FOURTEEN SALVAGE VESSELS
OVER SUNK LUTlN.
England Sends Fleet to Aid French.
Catastrophe OF Tunis Due to
Sudden Leak In the
stern
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BISERTA. Tunis. oct 1.-THE Off
GERS engaged in the salvage work with
the certainty that the crew of the sub
marine boat Lutn had perished.
Members of the crew of the tug Ish-
mael which conveyed the I4utin on her
last voyage declare that the submarine
plunged twice and after she had gone
down for the third time her bow
showed twice above the surface Of the
water before she finally, disappeared.
This leads to the belief that the cat
astrophe resulted from a sudden leak
at the stern.
The water probably rushed in very
rapidly and overturned the accumula-
tors.
This would cause death giving fumes
to emanate from them and the crew
would have no chance for life.
Divers have reached the bottom, but
owing to the roughness of the sea they
were unable to remain below sufIi-
ciently long to make thorough inves-
tigation to ascertain the location Of the
Lutn.
Fourteen salvage vessels now form a
Gordon around the spot where the Lutin
went down.
The British admiralty has sent a bat
tleship, cruiser and a torpedo boat
destroyer as we'll as several tugs to as
sist in the search.
Tonight the sea is moderatlng and
the work tomorrow will be continued
under better conditions.
1t became known today that the
Lutin had on board two supplementary
engineers who had been detailed to
watch the diving experiment., but 1t is
not definitely known whether they are
included in the fourteen men whom it
was announced in Bizeria last night
went down in the submarine boat under
the command of Lieut.. Fepoux.
Although the bottom is sandy three
miles off the coast where the Iutin is
supposed to have sunk the chances Of
raising the Lutin to the surface in time
to save the lives of the crew are re-
garded as slim.

sources to Save Crew
BY Associated Press.
PARIS, Oct. ia feeling of gloom
prevails t the ministry of marine here
on account of the disapp .arance Of the
French submarine boat Lutin.
The principal hope of floating the
Lutln in. time to save the lives of the
imprisoned men seemed to rest in the
assistance of the Danish salvage
steamer Barger Wilhelm, which hap
pened to be off Cape Farina and was
Immediately summoned. The Danish
vessel possesses machinery capable of
lifting 1900 tons but the boat lies in
thirty fathoms of water, and it is
pointed out that the submarine boat
Farfadet, which sank last summer in
the same vicinity but in only ten
fathoms of water, was nine days at the
bottom and when she was refloated all
her crew were dead.
Marine Minister Thomson has acted
with the greatest promptnress. After
consultation with naval officers he con-
ceived the plan of trying to get heavy
chains from the forts at Bizerta under
the hull of the Lutin and thus lifting
her from the bottom. But it is feared
that the tugs and other vessels on the
spot may not be equal to the task, and
the marine minister therefore has or
dered two powerful salvage vessels, the
Polypheme and the Dromadere, to
start Immediately from Toulon to the
scene of the disaster and assist the
salvagers already on the spot
Although llo news has been received
from, Vallette it is assumed that the
British admiralty officers and the gov
ernor of Malta have responded to the
appeal for assistance of the British
consul general at that port, who sug-
gested that the French resident general
telegraph to Malta for salvage as
