down with them.

wreeking craft is transmitted from the
mother ship above saving the expense Of
storage batteries and ventilatlng apparatus.
The submarine. with its surface ship, can
cover from twenty to forty square miles Of
sea bottom In n day The crew remain
above until a lookout below locates the
wreck, when they descend a connecting tube
and begin operations. The craft can oper-
ate to depth of 900 feet, far greater than
divers can be used successfully.
Coal from the bunkers of the wrecks will
be one Of the prizes for salvaging. A special
apparatus has been designed by which the
submarine can suck in 500 tons an hour
from wreck without her crew even having
to leave their ship. The many merchant
ships sunk during the war will furnish a
Fich field after hostilities end.
Mr.. Lake is already assembling the first
OF his craft. which will be ready in about
two months. 1t will be used only FOR pleas
