Lines WIN steady Divers Az
The method Of procedure when active
salvage operations are commenced win
be- this.
The barge with its equipment for the
divers will be spotted directly over the
submarine. The dredge Gaylord will
retain its present hold on the two lines
now fast about the IA. Other ships
az the salvage Aflhet win hold lines "a
steady the iaivihg barge SO that when
l the -four men are lowered they will run

by the swinging Of the barge. When
Iie elyers Ia I ) made observations they
win report their findings and the
dfedge Gaylord and tugs win be
brought into play to afiix lines attached
to the scows about the Submarine. Then
Twill come the test whether the lifting
machinery Is capable Of raising the sea-
wasp from its ocean grave
IL the submarine is-raised--and the
arrival Of the expert divers and the
near completion Of the pontoons has
! made naval men believe ii win bean
absolute record for recovery Of lost
submarines will have been made. No
submafine has ever been sunk at a
depth Of ESQ feet and recovered. Divers
4 have never before worked on wreekage
| at that depth. 4
All Depends on Divers j
That ell depends on the divers was
evident on the navy pier yesterday.
Their presence infused new vim in the
salvage work. The divets themselves
are ready and Confident; anxious TO go
down as s6on as equipment Is rugged.
Not one of the corps had any qualms
or misgivings as to success. They feel
4 certain they can descend to 400 feet and
work comfortably and without risk,
Drellishak, Crilley, Nelson and Lough-
man may descend at the same time or
one may be sent down first as scout,
This has not been decided *. \
