the sea, in euriously quiet, unspecta-
eular fashion. ., s..i.
There is no information as to what
will be done with the FL after she
has been doclSed, the bodies removed
and the investigation completed. The
report of the board of Investigation
win determine largely what will be
done with her. She is torn badly,
especially with great rent in the
second compartment; near the parti-
ton of the first compartment; her
, super f,ructure is gone, and ludders
and propelIers have been pulled loose
or damaged. Inside, it is only sp ecu.
'atinn. 1t is there that the board must
look for evidence as to tie cause of
the disaster.
All Simply Speculation
Perhaps there is something concIu-
sivc; perhaps not, and it may be that
the damage to the rudders has de.
stroyed marks of great Importance,
for one theory is that the diving rud.
der, by getting from the control of
the man at the wheel, shot the. boat
to tn" floor of the sea, at a depth of
3o6 feet. Another theory is that an
explosion of the batteries occurred. 49,.
Whether she can or shOu be repair,
ed probably will be determined by
tn" navy department when the report
Of Admiral Boush and his associates
is made. She would be lowed TO
Mare Island, after being put in shape
here, If it is decided to put her in
shape for service again.
Persons not connected with the F-4
in an official capacity will be excluded
from the dry dock. A gna~d was
placed at Quarantine last night.
Almost UPSIDE Down
AS the FL lies almost upside down,
she will be righted on the dock, SINK
On vessels always drop on their sides,
because of their shape, and, in the
"ase Of the F4, her circular form and
the hauling of the scows turned her
keel up.
Final work outside will be to take
up the mooripg buoys, anchored for
the dredge Reclamation and other
craft and to recover two big chains.
This will be done today by the Re.
clamation, and, for the first time since
March -, there will be no trace upon
the sea of saving of the "a. o..
