Vessel Is Located By Grapplers in Three Hundred Feet of Water After
 Thirty Hours.
Efforts Madeto Tow the Vessel to Shallow Water Is Found Impossible and Attempt Will be Made to Bring It to Surface With
 Wrecking Ship.

Honolulu, March 26.-The American submarine F'4. lost since yesterday morning off Honolulu, was located this afternoon. Heroic efforts were being made tonight To raise the stricken craft but after having been submerged for more than 30 hours it. was regarded as highly doubtful whether any of her crew of 2l men remained alive
 To lift the little vessel to the sur face it was found necessary to send to the Pearl Harbor naval station for a derrick and crane This involved much loss of time and it was thought probable that the fate of the crew might not be determined until day light.
 Rescue vessels dragging the ocean bed with grappling hooks chanced upon the stricken craft at depth of 300 feet Making fast to the F-4, the naval tug Navajo and the steamer Makaala began to tow their find they were not certain that it was the submarine they had hooked-toward shallow water. Quantities of oil came to the surface, proof that it really was the lost vessel Soon afterwards submarine marker bouy described far below the water removed all doubt that the F-l had been found
 Just when the marker bOuy had been released by the disabled boat there was no means of determining If the signal was given after the grap- bling hooks of the rescue vessels took hold, then the creW-or at least some of them-were still alive.
 For more than an hour the tug and the steamer struggled with their un- Wieldly burden. Soon afterward it became apparent that it would be i'm possible to tow the submarine near enough 10 shore to bring her to the surface and hurry call was sent to the naval station for a wrecling ship.
 Naval authorities admitted tonight they had given up hope for the F-4's crew.
 However, resuscitatng apparatus las been despatched to the scene and every effort will be made to develop any spark of life which may remain. The general opinion Is that the ves- sel's plates were sprung through the immense pressure of the water at a depth of 90 fathoms and that the two officers and 19 enlisted men aboard have perished.
 Vessels in the vicinity which are equipped with submarine signal appa- ratus continued to send out signals but no answer came.
 Submarine Had on Board Two off.
 cers and Nineteen Enlisted Men.
 Washington, March 26--Twenty- one persons--two officers and 19 enlisted men-were on board the submarine F-4 when she started on her under. water cruise in Honolulu harbor yes. terday morning. A list of the ships company cabled to the navy depart ment from Honolulu tonight follows:
 Lieut. Louis Alfred Ede Reno. Nev., commanding.
 Ensign Timothy A Parker, Ken lucky.
 Frederick Gilman, gunner, first class( address not giyen
 Frank N Herzog, electrician, sec ond class (address not given).
 Admiral IMoore's brief dispatch was the only official report the depart, ment received up to a late hour to- night Earlier a revised list of the men on board the subiarine had been cabled from Honolulu, showing that 1 lEnsign Timothy A. Parker and two enlisted men not shown in the de partments record of the ships com pany were aboard and that two oth eI men given in the record were safe l ashore.
 It had been understood thata Lieut. Alfred Louis Ede, the commander was the only commissioned officer on | the vessel.
 Ensign Parker, 27 years old, was ap pointed to the naval academy from Kentucky. The navy register shows | that he was assigned last July to the | submarine tender Alert and it is sup posed that he went on the cruise ol the F-4 either by permission or spe. cial assignment.
 Naval construction experts agree | that the tremendous pressure of the water at any depth below 50 or 60 feet offers a sprtous handtcan 10 say the
