Chlorine Gas Fills Stranded
S-4sMen Fight Gale
All Night
By IntsrnationaI News Service.

All Of the forty-five officers
and men from the stranded United
States Submarine SAB were
rescued today by coast guard men
from the Wood Island life-saving
station.
twenty-five members Of the crew
were taken from the undersea boat
after being imprisoned aboard al
night in . howling northeast gale.
Later the skeleton crew Of twenty
YieI4 vas removed.
Sub Fills with Gas.
The last twenty men were taken
off by the coast guardsmen after
the big submersibIe began to fill
with chlorine gas, seeping out Of
the storage batteries, a. water from
a hole in the submarines bow pene-
trated the interior of the craft.
The rescued crew were taken in
power boats from the Woods Island
life saving station to Fort Stark.
None of them was injured but they
were worn out from their all night
battle in the sea and went to bed.
SAB Lies On Mud Flats.
The S-48 lies hard and fast on
the mud flats off the little head
breakwater. At high tide she drifted
off the rocky reef on which she first
stranded, floated around bit and
then brought up on the mud flats.
Great waves were breaking over
her as the three coast guard life
boats came alongside and rescued
1.-The submersible's crew.
Until the gas from the SASS
storage batteries leaves the interior
I of the undersea craft, it was i'm
possible for any person to go
aboard to learn the full extent Of
the damage.
Tossed Up On Rocks.
In binding snow storm obscur-
ing vision and in the teeth of a
biting northeast gale the big naval
submarine was tossed up last night
on the rocks at the mouth Of Little
Harbor.
Through the spuming foam and
the swirling snow coast guardsmen
on shore first saw her red rockets
Of distress and the naval operator
at the wireless station at the local
navy yard picked up her calls of
IS o S."
Coast guardsmen risked their lives
in the fifty-mile-an-hour gale to
launch lifeboat to go to the res
cue Of the stranded submarine.
AS dawn began to break a
breches buoy apparatus was set up
at Fort Stark, Newcastle. But
high seas prevented its use.
Fears for the men aboard the
submersible were expressed on all
sides among the watchers on shore.
Tractors had smashed their way
| through the snow drifts on the
beach roads to Fort Stark beach.
In their wake came motor ambu-
] lances carrying blankets and medi-
cal supplies.
Lights Go Out on Sub.
Lights went out on the sub
marine. This gave the Shore watch
ers more concern.
This morning, however, as the
tide came in, the big underseas boat
| began to ease off the rocks at Lit
! tie Harbor. Later she started to
| float seaward.
BY this time rescue ships had
come to 1t. 1t was deemed wise to
take off part of the crew. The
twenty men left aboard were man
ming the pumps. When their po-
! sition became perilous they, too,
were removed.
First S.48 Was Sunk.
| The submarine tender Chewink
and the submarine S-51 accompanied
| the SAB here. The other two craft
are safe.
| Lieutenant Commander Stewart
E, Bray of New London, Conn.,, was
in command of the S-4S. The sub
' marines displacement is 1,l00 tons.

EXCLUSIVE BOOMING HOUSE
One Cambridge Apartment Open Only to Harvard Students

Only to Harvard Students
 Cambridge, Mass, June l9 P-- There is one Cambridge lodging house which this fall will offer rooms to Harvard students only. The chemical curiosity of a Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology student which apparently exceeded his knowledge, resulted in the deci- sion made known today after an ex- plosion had wrecked the lodging house laundry. The student was granted permission to use the laundry. There followed a terrific detonation. The experimenter fled wild-eyed from the scene in a cloud of smoke, calling frantically for a plumber, When the smoke had cleared it was discovered that the heavy stone fronts of the set tubs had been blown from their founda- tions. Floor and ceiling were cov- cred with the disastrous brew. The landlady inclined to the belief that her lodger had invented a new ex- plosive.
