Cruiser Maryland Ordered to Assist
in Work of Raising.

Washington, March 31.-Search-
ers for the lost submarine F-4 have
reported to Washington that they
had determined the location of the
vessel within a radius Of fifty yards,
and that she lay at the bottom Of
the mouth of Honolulu harbor, in
water ranging from 43 to GO fathoms
in depth.
All hope that any OF the crew of
21 might be alive was abandoned
several days ago, but department
officials and naval officers here anx-
iously await news that the bodies
have been recovered.
1T is feared, however, that the sub
marine may prove to be the tomb of
her crew, and that it never will be
known what accident befell her. Ma
val officers say that if the boat is
covered by 80 fathOms, or 800 feet
of water, it is unlikely that she can
be raised
