ALL ON BOARD
S-5l KNOWN TO

Divers Making Plans to
Continue Work of Re-

Rammed Submarine

NEW LONDON, Conn, Oct. 3.LWith
all life on the S-51 known to be ex-
tinct, efforts were being made tofay to-
metal tomb at the bottom of the sea
off Block island.
Already five of the crew have been
accounted for, two bodies having been
recovered Tuesday and three found yes

were brought up an sent to the naval
hospital at Newport, where they await
funeral arrangements of relatives. The
body left in the submarine was not ideE-

Several Of the 33 men lost on the
S-51 were washed away as the-ship sank
after being rammed by the City of Rome

Der ofbodies still within the hulk was
unknown, but it was presumed to be
26.
Only skeleton fleet was at work
today where yesterday twohuge cranes
and many other craft rode at anchor
or slowly circled the spot. now marked
by lighted buoyas the grave of the
S-51.
Discovery yesterday by divers that
the submarine was flooded from bow to
stern snuffed out the last glimmer of
hope that any of the men who went
down with her would be found alive 1t
alsoo marked the end Of the desperate
efforts of the navy to raise the sub
marine in an effort to rescue those
aboard her.
With their comrades not now among
the living, the officers and men at the
base are settling into their routine du-
ties. The practice runs and lives OF
the other submarines are being con-
tinued
The bodies recovered yesterday were
those Of w. E. Lawton of New London
and B. d. Lindsay of Pensacola, Fla
The body of John L. Gibson recovered
Tuesday, has been sent to his home in
Portland, Oregon.
When it was found that the last two
compartments in which there might be
air-the motor and torpedo rooms
were filled with water, it was realized
that the men who went down with the
craft had no chance for life; that they
had been unable to shut water tight
sdoors connecting the compartments The
three men who escaped after the col
lision got to the coming tower in time.
Rear Admiral II. HI. Christy, who is in
charge of rescue operations, took COM
fort in the fact that death was swift.
If this had to be- he said, " it was
merciful that they drowned within
few minutes. 1t is difficult to imagine
what men entrapped in a submarine
would go through in their last few
hours, hearing rescuers near but beyond
their reach"
After all the bodies have been recov-
cred the S-51 will be turned over to ci-
villains for salvage.

but seven of the more than forty
men caught in cave-in in the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
tunnel at Churchill here yester-
day were shown in check up
today to have made their way
to safety after a narrowing ex-
perience pictured by survivors.
Tom Mason, engineer of the
work train which was just leav-
ing the tunnel when the earth
slide occurred, is believed to
have met death when his engine
was buried in the avalanche.
There is believed to be no chance OF
survival either for six negro workmen
who are missing. Even if they had
been able to jump under the flat cars
in the tunnel. as did some Of the sur
vivors, the release Of gases is believed
to have it made impossible for anyone
to survive in the passage way. The
presence of the poisonous fumes was
still hampering the rescue workers to-
day after driving them from the task
last night.
Heavy loss of life was at first
thought to have resulted from the cave.

thousand foot unnel which runs directly

While railway rescue crews and fire
men and police squads, however, were
making frantic efforts to reach the en-
trapped men at the end of the tunnel
where the slide occurred, most Of the
survivors, having crawled through the
mass of fallen dirt and masonry, were
struggling out at the other end. They
had made their way. number of them

than $500 feet, not knowing when an
other collapse might occur above their
heads
The survivors described the crash II
breaking timbers and the roar of fall
ing earth and masonry as the cave-in
came without warning while the men
were engaged in reinforcing the tunnel
walls. One of the almost miraculous
escapes was that of F. b. Moseley, fire
man, who was in the cab with the
engineer when the avalanche came bu-
managed to make his way to clear space
under flat cars and crawl out. He was
severely scalded by steam from the
twisted boiler of the engine, as were
several others of the train crew who
escaped.

DISClJSSESSAN
BENITOACTION

Rail Meeting Was
Packed"
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Herald:
Your columns this afternoon (Friday)
will no doubt carry report of a San
Benito Chamber of Commerce meeting
held last night, and that report will
say that said Chamber of Commerce
voted to table the resolution endorsing
the entrance of the Southern Pacific
into the Valley.
Well, the M. P. boys were in the ma
jority in that meeting. They had all
their forces there to defeat any reso-
hutton that night be introduced hat
would show any sign of approving the
coming of the S. P, but last night was
a bad. rainey night and there were less
than third of the Chamber Of COM
merce out to the meeting. So the
action last night does neither represe-
sent the sentiment of the majority Of
the membership Of the Chamber Of
Commerce nor the feeling of the busi-
ness men or people of San Benito. A
poll of the shippers, businessmen and
people of San Benito will show ninety
per cent or more in favor of the S. p,
or some other railroad coming to the
Valley.
am writing you this, not for the
purpose of starting something" but
just want the rest Of the Valley and
the world to know that San Benito
don't believe as that little packed meet
ing last night would have people think
we do.
Very truly yours,
