HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-Exposure OF
the hulk Of the United States subma-
Tine F-4, lost with her crew Of % men
In Honolulu harbor March 25, failed
today to reveal any trace OF the bodies
Of the crew or to throw any light on
the cause of the accident. After be-
ing raised from depth OF 300 feet,
the submarine was placed in dry
docks. where the pumping out was
completed. Today the F4 lies on her
starboard side in the dry docks.
When the examining board, compos-
ed OF Rear Admiral Boush, Lieutenant
Commander Furer and Lieutenant
Crittenden, entered the vessel they
found the starboard side and bottom
filled with debris, battery plates, sand
and mud.
II any bodies remain in the hulk
they are under the debris. Doubt IS
expressed as to whether any would
be found since the great hole torn in
the submarine only part Of which was
protected by mats. during the month
of raising operations. allowed the ma.
sine creatures with which the waters
Of Hawaii swarm. to enter and 1t was
feared the bodies Of the crew had
oeen entirely destroyed.
Naval officers said the debris would
be removed from the vessel today and
thorough search made for bodies.
Ia addition to Gaping holes in the
stern OF the submarine, a big hole had
been torn in the foreward part. The
investigating board has not definitely
ascertained whether the holes caused
the loss of the vessel or whether they
were torn during the lifting opera
tons.
