LIEUTENANT EIDE
IS A NEVADAN
Commander Of "a and Mrs. EIDE
Hail From Reno Where
They Grew Up Together

Lieut.. Alfred L. Eide, in command of
years of age. He was born on tho
Truckee Meadows, Washoe county, Ne
vada, within few miles of Reno. His
boyhood was spent in the Sagebrush
State, where. his father held valuable
farm interests.
Lieutenant EIDE attended the public
schools in Reno, and was attending the
University Of Nevada in 1905 when he
received his appointment to Annapolis
after competitive examination. He
graduated from the naval academy in
1909, and as an ensign was assigned
to duty on the cruiser West Virginia,
Later he was detailed TO the submarine
division, and about year ago received
his bar as lieutenant in the junior
grade. Prior to coming to Honolulu
the latter part Of last year, Lieutenant
EIDE resided at Vallejo, California, be-
ing then in command Of the submarine
FL, which was stationed with the sub
marine hotilla at Mare island.
Mrs. Ede is also a Nevada woman.
She was raised In Reno and Carson
City, and was formerly Miss Margaret
Mcmillan, daughter of a former State
treasurer of Nevada and member Of
one Of the best-knOwn families in that
State. Mrs. Ede's mother is dead.
Lieutenant EIDE has three brothers
and three sisters, all Of them residing
in Reno. The brothers are Leonard,
Charles and Allen EIDE, The sisters ara
Mrs. Sparks, wife of the soI of a
former Governor of Nevada; Mrs. Sell
man and Mrs. Wullschlegen.
Lieutenant and Mrs, Eide, after their
arrival here about eight months ago,

air with the sudden force. The
Makaala came up short on the taut
cable, and the launch Of The Ad-

gan to move, was sent with word to
the Navajo. The Navajo came !;

been taken time and time before.
Craft just Repaired
The "A only a few days ago had
completed repairs at Pearl Harbor.
1t was said by naval officers that
these consisted only of routine" re-
jairs and were not extraordinary.
From other sources, it was learned
that the work had been on her en-
gine and plates; and It might have
been that the plates developed
weakness and were unable to resist
unexpected pressure.
The submarine was one of the
newer type; her surface displace,
lment was $50 tons and her sub
merged displacement 430 tons
| The + type are sister-ships, They
are seventy tons, surface displace,

months ago.
News of the accident spread rap
idly along the waterfront. even be-
fore confirmed by newspapers
| Naval officers rigidly kept the mis-
hap secret. Neither men nor Off
GERS would talk, and civilians EN-
ployed were forbidden to say any
thing. This was because it was
thought the submarine would bt
found, and the officers did not wish
to alarm the mems relatives in Ho
nolulu = and elsewhere withou
cause. When the hours lengthenec
toward sunset, however, and hop,
no longer could face down th'
gravity of the situation, the officer,
of the ships gave all information a
their command. Hundreds of tele

SUBMERGED CRAFT .
PROBABLY RESTS
At GREAT DEPTH
Evidence indicates Submarine
Lies In About Forty-three
+ Fathoms Of Water

Oil. and air bubbles were found on
the surface of the sea about a quarter
Of q mile southwest of where the Cor
man steamer Holsatia is anchored
about ten thirty o'cIock yesterday
morning. The oil and bubbles undoubted.
ly came from the "a and 1t is believed
that they were found somewhere direct.
ly above the spot where the disabled
submarine is lying. The current, Of
course, would naturally carry the oil
and bubbles out Of direct line while
rising to the surface. ..
Submarine Lies Deep
The evidence was found soon enough,
however, 70 indicate that the F-4 is
perhaps lying in forty.three fathoms
of water, or two hundred and fifty
eight feet. This is within twenty three
feet Of the worlds record for sub
marine submerging. This record is
held by the FL and was made about
one year ago off the California Coast,
by a petty officer, who was court-mar.
tialed and discharged from the service
for his reckless daring. The govern
ment held that he had needlessly en-
dangered human life and property.
When the FL was brought to the sur
face, many Of the plates had been
ioosened and the vessel plainly showed
the effects Of the terrific pressure under
which the submarine had been.
Bottom Of Sea Is Shelves NJ
According to ]. Z. Sheedy Of the
Inter Island Steam Navigation com
pany, who is perhaps one of the best
posted men on the sOundings on al
sides of Oahu, the sea bottom in thi'
vicinity consists of sand and coral
stopping gradually in stratas from th'
shore to the sea, each strata being
marked by distinct shelving, starting
at depth Of thirty feet or there
about, each strata continuing for som'
distance, each time at greater depth
Finally beyond the reef it becomes pre-
ciptious and drops sheer to depth o
twenty five hundred fathoms or more
Probably Lies On Shelf .E@r
The Ft4 is probably on one thes
sloping shelves, probably two hundre,
and fifty feet below the surface. !
the slope Is great enough and the eul
rent at the bottom sufficiently strong
there is possibility that the sunke
vessel mayt.be carried fnrther out an

this is contingency those engaged !

submarine soon viii be found an

LONDON, March 26.--A dispatch
last night from Rome to the Central

Seven complete classes have now

LITTLE CRAFT

THEIR BOSOM.
While At Practise Work IN offing
Of Honolulu Submarine F-4,
christened Skate Dives and
Fails TO Come To Surface
HARBoR BEING DRAGGED
TO SAVE HUMAN BURDEN

TN thirty-6ve fathoms of water,
4 the submarine F-4, christened
Skate, lay last night with twenty
one men, officers and crew. She
disappeared yesterday morning
three-fourths OF a mile off the har-
Dor. She had not been found this
morning. No one knows whether
the men are living or dead.
It is the first submarine disas-
ter in the history Of the United
States Navy. The cause is un--
known. II the men are dead it
never will be known. 4.
Ships secured the bottom of the
sea all yesterday afternoon and
last night in search for the F-4.
Time after time their drags
caught; each time hope rose; each
time it fell.
Yet there was one encourage
ment. Three times the drags
caught in practically the same
location, and it was hoped that
this was the submarine. ~l. 81.
OIL BUBBLES RISE
Bubbles Of oil. rising pm the
submarine, showed where she lay.
1t guided the early search for her.
Except for this, there was no sign.
The submarine buoy did not rise.
Pressure at the floor Of the sea
was too great for the submarine
bell to sound.
The F-4 accompanied her sis
terships, the FL, F-2 and F-3, in
their regular diving practise yes
terday morning. They left the
harbor about nine-fifteen o'clock.
The three sisterships returned be-
tween ten-fifteen and ten-thirty. !
When the F-4 did not return,
motor boats were sent out to
search the sea for her. They
found nothing except great bub-
bles Of oil breaking on the water.
The tug Navajo, returning from
Pearl Harbor, was signalled. She
joined the search. The mother
ship Alert went out. The sub
marines returned to the open sea.
BY one o'clock, the search began
to attract attention on shore.
OTHER CRAFT CALLED
The Makaala, a tug of Young
Bros, was called in at three
thirty. The Matson tug Intrepid
was added to the force at dusk.
They dragged the sea singly and
in pairs. N,
Many theories are advanced as
to the cause of the accident. II
is certain, however, that the crew
lived after the F-4 failed to return
to the surface. Oil coming to the
surface slowly proved that. Had
the shell been crushed, oil prob.
ably would have arisen in :
single great gush, 1t came slow,
ly, as though pumped, The ship
carried about 1000 gallons ol
fuel oil This, liberated, would
decrease its weight greatly and
permit it to be Aoated more cas-
lily.
