"The captain worked his way aft and
we communicated with him through a

SURVIVOR TELLS HIS
EXPERIENCES ON So
Continued from First Page,

w whitehead, chief machlnist's mate
on the vessel. reached this city on the
destroyer McDonough, from the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard Whitehead and his
wife, an English girl whom he married
In England during the war are living
with his parents In 96S East Twenty
eighth street, Brooklyn.
There were thirty-Bix men and four
officers on the S." said Whitehead.
I'VE were on our seml-annual seventy
two hour test cruise, and we had been
twenty-four hours on the surface and
then submerged for five hours, Then
We went ahead at full speed for four
hours. We had completed this series
OF tests and broken all records, when
we started to take the last dive called
for In the test-and then II happened.
I'VE went down into 1853 feet of water
and the first we knew that anything was
wrong was when water started TO rush
in on us.
"rhs was caused by a defective main
air intake valve. This valve always had
been hard to work and one Of the crew
had put wrench on II, and thought
1t was closed, but It was defective.
"Thls allowed the water to rush into
the torpedo room at the forward end OF
the boat, into the control room in the
centre and into the engine and motor
rooms aft,
I'VE hit bottom and rested easily.
The Captain and the men, down there
AZ the bottom of the sea, had q confer
enCe. and we started the air salvage
system TO work This has $500 pounds
of compressed air pressure, and we tried
TO blow the water out OF the tank, but
the added water was too much, and we
could not rise. The torpedo room was
completely flooded We closed the water
tank door from the torpedo room into the
battery room. but still there was two or
three feet OF water in each room. We
tried to blow the water out Of the tor
pedo room, but with no effect. We blew
all OF the oil out of the fuel tank under
the boat, but we were still too heavy
to rise.
"The Captain then figured out that
cur boat was 291 feet long and the water
was but 100 feet deep and that by stand
Ing the boat on her nose the stern would
project through the water. To do this
we had to let the water from other COM
partment run into the storage room,
where we knew II would form deadly
chlorine gas, but there was nothing olse
to do.
I'VE blow out this water, but ms It
rushed past and the stern began to rise
We were all swept along with it, several
