Honolulu on the morning of August "a.
These two submarines were the sec

the FL and F-3 having arrived in tow
of the same cruisers on August /. The
mother ship of the group, the ten

The divers were proyisioned in

the cruisers and fresh meat and
vegetables sent aboard in less than
a quarter of an hour.
A Star-Bulletin report of the arrival
of the first two submarines stated
that there was special incentive for
submarine crews to keep busy in the

the crew for every submerged cruise

When the unlucky F-4 was last seen,
she was just leaving the harbor for
the routine diving practise, and COM

way she was trimmed and her gem

harbor, the FL was coming in from
the mornings work, and the two
underwater fighters passed close
aboard. the outgoing boat being sub
merged with only her periscope show

Ensign Harry r. Bogusch was on deck
OF the FL, and after noting that the
periscope of the F-4 was trained d.
rectly on him, he waved his hat in
greeting. at the same time making the
remark to q companion that the F-4
was welI.trimmed. This was the last
sight OF the sunken submarine.

II the estimate Of 500 feet as
the depth at which the F-4 is Inn
prisoned is correct, the little craft
has for "a hours been resisting a
pressure of 1892 pounds ON every

This is in addition to the atmos-

The pressure at 100 feet under
