they will be put into actual use until
Wednesday, as the divers will first
make several Observ ations to deter
mine the position Of the submarine
and as 1t may he necessary 10 get an
other line round the sunken vessel be
fore starting 10 raise her.
There is good chance th't We can
get the "a up without TesOrting to
submergeance methods" said Mr. Flu.
rer this morning. This gear is very
substantial and II may he possible TO
raise the submarine and tow her shore
ward without having to fiji and pump
the scows However. We are ready
~ use the pOntUUn method if it is
necessary"
The second scOw was tOwed into
IositiOn alongside OF the floating crane
last night, the Navajo doing a very
classy job OF towing and maneuvering
the unwiPldy Gn0-tOn scow into posi-
tiOn. The navy tug has proved inval-
liable during the progress Of the salv-
age work
The Maryland had some difficulty
in docking this morning, getting the
ing anything but a casual job. The
Maryland is fitted with in-turning
screws, which make her particularly
hard to handle at close quarters.
The Maryland has covered many
a nautical mile since she went into
commission in 1906, being known as
the rambler" of the Pacific fleet. She
was here last with Secretary of State
p. c. Knox, when the latter went TO
japan to attend the funeral Of the
late emperor. Since that time, how
ever, there has been an entire change
in personnel, although nearly all the
senior officers Of the cruiser have
been in Honolulu at one time or an
other, and look forward with pleasur-
able anticipation to their stay here.
I'VE have no idea how long we will
be in port" said Commander ]. j.
Raby, executive officer. this morning
Everything depends on the salvage
OF the submarine, and we know very
little about this now. The Maryland
had an uneventful trip across with no
accident or incident to mar it,"
Admiral Moore was at the naval sta
ton this morning to receive the off,
cial call of Captain Kfttelle. Another
caller at the station was Admiral
Mimura of the Japanese navy, who
received on departure the salute to
which his rank entitled him. The
japanese admiral also called on Maj.
Gen. Carter, at department headquar-
tiers. Lieut.. Kimball, senior aide to
Gen. Carter, boarded the Maryland
soon after she locked, and the Ger
man gunboat Geier also sent a board
ing officer.
