to the harbor yesterday morning,
and failed TO return to the surface.

graphing hooks made fast to some
object, believed to be the submerged
craft, at a depth of 35 fathoms, but

they became unconscious at depth
Of 1876 feet and were almost dead
when removed from the suits. In
order to facilitate the work, the
water was covered with fuel OIL

being conducted, the bottom of the
ocean shelves off to a precipitous

to indicate that the submarine was
wrecked by collision, unless the pre-

theory is advanced that an explo-

use in case Of accident, but no
trace Of this has been found.
The submarine F-4 was built by the
Electric Boat company at Seattle
three years ago, and was a sister
