heaved mass of steel, above the sub
merged bow. The position of this part
of the bottom, experts declare, indi'
Gates that what is now the highest
point originally and structurally occu.
pied position at about frame Is. This
suggests that there was an explosion
of mine under that part Of the ship,
say about midway between the stem
and the midship section.
The explosion, experts believe, broke
the ship into two parts, throwing one
section, including the coming tower
toward the stern, the coming towel
falling on the superstructure on the
starboard side. From this position, II
cutting away the wreckage, 1t ha.
been allowed to settle to the mair
deck slightly forward of the after tur
ret, which is on the port side. Thus
the tower is on the opposite side t
that on which the explosion tool
place.
1t is a confirmed belief that such ,
tearing of the ships bottom could no
have been produced by an interior ex
plosion. 1t is further said that no reg
ulation military mine could hav,
wrought such terrific havoc.
