More Diving Expected Today
II is expected that by afternoon She
work will have progressed 80 far mi
further afIixing the lines on the FL
that observation Of diver will be
asked for. II this y desired, Diver
Loughman will emulate the feats OF
Chilly, Nelson and Dreilishak IN going
down to the bottom Of the ocean At
400 feet and taking look around =
Neither Of the divers hold any
fear that they can 70 down
TO the submarine any time they are
sent and that they IAN work for
longer periods than they have worked
on the bottom of the ocean. IN this
respect. however, they Elm the hands
Of Stillson, who directs every move
ment Of the men underwater until that
stage when they approach the snrfaoe
and are then delegated to the care o.
Doctor French.
The divers are not allowed to talk
or make comment on their observations
as IL relates to the submarine. From
Official sources II Is aseertaincd, how
ever, that two powerful lines are fast9I
ened about the sunken ship; that one
line il aft and one Is fore; that Il
would be unsafe to apply any greater
lifting pressure on the lines IN their
present locations; that third line ii
foul Of the side and is worthless; that
il will he necessary to attach two more
lines; that the Submarine Il entirely
flooded; that there are no holes in the
hulk so far as can be seen that the
submarine rests on a white sand flope
Of about Ave feet in twenty feet. Ham
mefing on the hulk does not produces
any sound, which Is indicative Of the
submarine being flooded.
Conditions Govern Operations
0perations with the pontoons will DO
eondneted IS conditions present them
solves Positions win first be attained
and then lines Affixed under the airece
lion Of the divers. II "a stated BY
navy officials that the work win 10
necessarily slow. No chances will be
taken on losing any advantages which
have already been gained. Ii is con.
coded that the position Of the lines on
the sui marine must be changed. but it
is confidently believed this can be hcl
complished when tbesstows are brought
! into action and the playing Of the lines
controlled under the direction OF the
| divers. y 2 {. n N
sAH was condolences at the scene Of
the wreck yesterday; though II was. not
J, boastfnl or talkatite confidence. IL
VISA simply in the air, and exuded from
Commander Smith, Naval Constructor
! Ftlrer, Chief Gunner atillson and every
lhody connected with, the lob. The fonr
divers were among the most optimistic.
The interest which the divers are tax
ing in the work is best attested BY y
statement of one Of them last night
lie was asked IL they had been ashore
and seen any Of Honolulu. The reply
| came. TX
Divers Are Careful
No, none Of us has been ashore,
Don Z think that we are on diet al
anything BIKE that but we must necesl
sarily keep in perfect physical trim
to do the work which is asked Of us
/, Mental strain has much to do with the
Work. II we should 20 ashore and our
identity found out we would be asked
q million questions nndoubtedly. Be
cause OF regulations we would not be
| allowed to answer them and the MANY
] refusals would be unpleasant. So w
are going to stay on hoard and see
Honviulu later. You know when vou
are down in the water at 900 feet Il
Is up to you to take care Of yourself
and occasionally some Quick THINKING
Is required. 1t Is nosplace for q tired
brain, Every one Of nsxare willing AZ
any time 10 trust each other In hand
1 ling the apparatus mp above hut thu
moment you sink below the surface 81
the water it is LARGELY up to you /,
take care Of yourself ! fisl
Drellishak proved the statement Of
Il Chief Stillson that any ono of the div
ing crew could 90 down to the wrecl
Of the "a at viii. He went TO kh,
same depth and worked In the sam,
surroundings as did CrilIy and NielsoI
on, Wednesday when those two divers
both IN one day, smashed all world Z

Loughman Goes Down Next y
II II. ID LoughmaD,s fttprn next AM
If he Is called on to 20 down to.la,
Stillson, Grizzly, Nelson and Drellishal
declare he will make the dive and com
lup as fresh and clipper as the rest d
them have. Drellishak was perhaps III,
lmost fatigued Of the trio Of the div
ers who have made the descent but hi
work was also more aflnous. \
Several times II was necessary 70
him to call 10 be raised aud l0were'

also handicapped by the fact that hi
Telephone became wet y and In con
