some interesting information i'm

He claims that from reliable re-

than housewives; not meaning
women in gcncral-but that 65 per

Weather favorable" declared Chrys-

The derricks started liftipJ the
submarine to the surface at 11:45
a. m.
The order to begin no. sting was
given and the first, slow, steady
strain was put on the sunken hull.
The two derricks will lift the hull
by slow stages. 1t probably will be
several hours before tho stern is
brought to the surface.
Admiral Chrystie overnight de-
clared he must "concede reluctantly
and sorrowfully" that there was no
possibility Of finding the men alive
within the shell. However, as the
subordinate Of Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur, he was obeying orders to
carry on"
Reports from the wreck zone said
that the $50. moored above her sis
ter ship, had had hazardous ex-
perience when she became tangled
with the mooring lines of the diving
boat Chittenden, and it looked for
a. moment as though she would go
down to join her mate.
However, by quick action, officers
and men succeeded in extricating
her from the ENHANCEMENT and she
was still moored, pumping air down
below.
Navy men doubted that the cranes
could lift the vessel. imbedded ever
deeper in the shifting sands and
doubted that it would be of any
rescue" value If they did succeed.
Kinsfolk ashore, however. were
praying that the hoists would at
last succeed.
