has rested for more than four days since being rammed by the steam ship City of Rome,
 Two bodies have been brought up by divers and 3l more presumably are in the sunken wceckage,
 The two giant sea cranes, Monarch and Century which were driven into Newport by a storm yesterday, start ed again for the scecn of tho dis aster shortly after midnight and an hour later passed out by ,Rrenton Reef Into the open sen, only to be forced to turn about as the waves piled up about them,
 The work of the divers has estab- lshed that there was a violation Of the rules Of tho sea by the City of Rome in the collision, in the opinion of Captain F.. ], King, commander of the submarine base.
 Struck on Port Side.
 X dent in the hull of the S-5l, ho said, showed that shc was struck on Inc port side by q vessel overriding her. International rules provide, he added, that "eycry vessel overriding another vessel shall keep out of the way of the ovcrtaken vessels" No word. other than brief wcath- CT report indicating that conditions were modcrating somewhat, was re- ccivcd here from the rescue fleet during the carly part Of the day and officials had no knowledge as to 1 whether diving operations had been resumed.
 The divers were known 10 be anX- ious to continue if conditions were in any way favorable. Yesterday it was at times difficult to get the | divers to return 10 the surface when officers felt they had remained long ' enough-so anxious were they to reach any of the imprisoned men for whom there might be the least ray Of hope.
 The dispatch boa. Chcwink, car rying special deep sea electric lights for use in night diving operations, in addition to mails and supplies, made 1 her daily run to the rescue fleet to. day. At the request of Rear Admiral Christy no newspaper or camera men were permitted to go out today, eX' cept where they were to relieve oth. CTS stationed on the Camden. Real Admiral Christy had pointed out thai all available accommodation on tho mother ship were filled.
 All Ready TO Lift
 Operations of divers yesterday ir closing the coming tower hatch ana forcing air into the submarine had raised hopes that the cranes would be able to bring her to the surface stern of the sunken vessel and al preparations had been made to begin work with the expected arrival ot the derricks at dawn.
 The sea had been almost glossy smooth during the afternoon but i northeast wind sprang up carly il Ithe evening and the last message from the rescue fleet said its veocit! had reached almost 25 miles ant that white caps were being kicked up all about.
 Forlorn Hope
 Rear Admiral H. H. Christy, ir charge of the rescue work, still helC to the almost forlorn hope that ,r ,t,l, ntli down with the S.5 might still b' alive but most of the officers at th' submarine base here reluctantly ad mitted that there was virtually n' chance that any could have eur vived as long as this.g
 | Twenty divers are with the rescu fleet, which comprises two suhmar ines. the mother ship Camden, tW' dCstroycrs and several smaller crafts It was expected here that underse; operations would be continued whel il was learned that the wreckers haC been forced to turn back toward Newport Six trips 10 the oceaI floor were made by divers yesterda, ana TWO DOnlcS were ThtONfItus Get Into Battery Room Divers yesterday got no furthe than the battery room and if the resume operations within the hui today. they will probably endeavo to work through the wreckagc 1 the forward part of the batter room to the torpedo compartmen .tulkhcad, 10 determine whether th :, door leading into the forward pal Of the craft is secured or just closed The door secured would mean tha the forward Compartment in whic several of the men had their bunk is still alright.
