a. m. The work of removal was
slow, on account Of the bad condition
in which the bodies we're found.
The receding tides left the hull of
the submarine exposed. The port
side was crushed in. The submarine
evidently filed almost instantly after
the collision.
The men who were in the inner
compartment of the little craft when
it was sunk by the Villa de Calais
May 26, lived day after the collision
and slowly strangled to death. The
men in the outer compartments,
which we're ripped open, were either
mangled so that they died instantly
or drowned.
This report was made by the sur
geons who examined the bodies of the
officers and crew of the submarine.
While the divers from the French
varships were working on the sunken
craft to raise 1t, the men in the inner
compartments amidships were slowly
dying. The investigation proves the
truth Of the report that tappings by
the imprisoned men on the sides of
the submarine were heard.
The belief was expressed here that
