The diver, who recently returned
from Russia where ne. was engaged in
raising sunken vessels, is now on his
way to France to salvage ships sunk
during the war, with the understand
ing that he is to undergo an opera
ton before taking up the work.
Loeb, then employed as life saver,
was on his vacation at the time the
Eastland was sunk, The vessel, built
to carry 1900, put out from the Chi
cago river with 1000 joyous persons
aboard. In six minutes she overturn-
ed, bearing her human cargo with
her. Loeb was standing on the Clark
street bridge. Hearing two girls
scream for help he hastily discarded
coat and shoes and dove 40 feet into
the water. Swimming distance of
$50 feet into the struggling mass of
humanity, he attempted to seize the
girls and swim to nearby tug boat.
One of them grabbed him by the
throat in such a. strangling hold that
he was compelled to knock her I'M
conscious. He then put both OF them
on the tug boat Racine.
In Water az Hours.
During the work on rescuing the
survivors, Loeb was on the job 70
hours, during which time he was not
out of the water five minutes at a
time. His work was at last ended
when he struck his head against a
.
fracturing his skull and bursting a
blood vessel. He lay unconscious in
the Iroquois hospital for 20 hours
and 32 minutes and was three times
pronounced dead. Twenty-one stitches
were taken in his right shoulder and
sixteen in his leg. He had saved
thirty-eight lives and recovered sixty
seven dead bodies.
During his thirteen years expert
ence as a diver. Loeb has operated in
all parts of the world. He was the
chief diver employed in raising the
F-4, the American submarine sunk
in Honolulu harbor. In the Peoria
disaster he brought up thirty-two dead
bodies, and had both hands fra ctured.
In the Cleveland tunnel accident he
saved four men and recovered thirteen
bodies.
He is the only diver in the world
who has gone down to depth of 267
feet in diving suits weighing 1855
pounds.
I'm the suit. employing the old style
helmet" said Loeb today "a man
could die Of hemmorrhages before the
helmet could be taken off Every bolt
with which it was fastened to the suit
had to be loosened with a monkey
wrench. The United States snap he'll
| met now in use can be secured or re-
moved by an eighth of a turn. It is

mitter and also with an air-va1ve to
regulate the air SUPPLY
Loeb stopped off here in response to
| a wire from G. L. Hooper, manager OF
the Orpheum theater. Today and to-
morrow. matinee and night he will
show pictures of the Eastland sinking
and films depicting his adventures ii
various parts of the world.
