Hole Nffers Good Hold
Tho hole in the submarine offers q
700 Id for lines. The chains, wear.

and penetrated into the hull. The div

ton that no serious accident has oc.
, rurrcd in the salvage work. Many men,
working with intricate gear, amOng
many lines and usually in rough seas
are particularly liable to accident. Ono
man sprained his ankle in Jumping
from one scow TO another, another fell

and one was struck by the flying end
of Manila line that had parted; with
these exceptions there had been no in

hurt yesterday. .,'~

work of putting their light line
