U. S. SUBMARINE LOCATED
Vessel That Sank Outside Honolulu
Harbor Found at Fifty
Fathoms.

Honolulu-The American submarine
F.4, lost off Honolulu harbor, has been
located, Heroic efforts are being made
to raise the stricken craft, but after
having been submerged for more than
30 hours II was regarded as doubtful
whether any of her crew of 81 men re-
manned alive.
To lift the little vessel to the sur
face 1t was found necessary to send to
the Pearl Harbor naval station for a
derrick and crane. This involved much
loss OF time and 1t was thought the
fate Of the crew might not be deter
mined until daylight
Rescue vessels dragging the ocean
bed with graphing hooks CHANGED
upon the stricken craft at depth Of
300 feet. Making fast to the F-4, the
naval tub Navajo and the steamer Ma
kaala began to tow their find-they
were not certain that it was the sub
marine they had hooked-toward shall
low water. Quantities Of oil came to
the surface, proof that it really was
the lost vessel. Soon afterward a sub
marine marker buoy, discovered far
below the water, removed all doubt
that the F-4 had been found.
Just when the marker buoy had been
released by the disabled boat there
was no means of determining. II the
signal was given after the graphing
hooks of the rescue vessel took hold,
then the crew, or at least some Of
them, still were alive
For more than an hour the tug and
the steamer struggled with their un.
wieldy burden. Soon afterwards 1t be-
came apparent that 1t would be impos-
sible to tow the submarine near enough
to shore to bring her to the surface and
hurry call was sent to the naval sta
ton for wrecking ship.
Naval authorities admitted that they
had given up hope for the F-4's crew
However, resuscitating apparatus had
been dispatched to the scene and CIV.
cry effort will be made to develop any
spark OF life that may remain. The
general opinion is that the vessels
plates we're sprung through the i'm
mense pressure Of the water at depth
Of so fathoms and that the two Off
GERS and 10 enlisted men aboard have
persisted.
Vessels in the vicinity equipped with
submarine signal apparatus continued
to send out signals, but no answers
came.
The F-4 was submerged at 9:15 am,
March rs. The three other submar-
ines of the F type noted she did not re-
appear promptly, but no apprehension
was felt for her safety until several
hours had passed.
Although naval officers have de-
clared the vessel could remain sub
merged for "a hours without menace to
her crew, II her apparatus was un-
damaged, It was feared the acid tanks
have been broken and the crew suf-
located.
The fate Of the 81 men in the sub
marine is still a matter Of grave ap-
prehension. The shore off which the
F4 disappeared is steep, and shelves
to a precipitous drop. II the submar.
inc lies in 80 fathoms of water, 1t Is
beyond the reach of divers. Divers &C.
scended to depth of 1876 feet, which
is local record, and we're drawn up
unconscious.
James M, Hogsett, electrician, Of
Macedonia, Mo-, who was on shore
leave, is the only member Of the F-4's
crew known to have escaped, Lieut..
Alfred L. EIDE was in command.

Bad Storm Sunday Morning.

One, of the heaviest rain storms

were injured more or less, but we
feel will come alright, as the. storm
was only of short duration, and nice
sunny weather has prevailed since.
Two and a half inches of rain fell,
which means a lot of water. Light
ming accompanied the storm and it
did some damage, a number of cattle
being reported killed. The only dam
age in the city was to the chimney
on H. F.. Barthell's home, a piece of
it being knocked off by lightning.
