 Two ships of the Century type and owned by the same company at tempted to raise the S-51, but that craft. although of the same type as the S-4, was considerably heavier and it was thought that efforts along the same line might be employed here with more success.
 Commander Ellsbere declared that from preliminary study of the situation he believed it might l." possible to bring the bow of the submarine to the surface by attach ing two pontoons to its nose. At least two days would be needed.
 If the ship could be put on end sufficiently 10 expose the torpedo tubes, the men in the forward com partment could be hauled out He emphasized however. that any optimism would be decidedly premature.
 Thomas E,adie and W. ]. Carr were the naval divers first 10 reach the wreck which lay 1o2 feet below the surface and almost at the seen" of the crash. 1,S0" yards off the Wood End coast guard station on the outside tip Of Cape Cod.
 Eadie went down first, was the first to locate the ship and to flash word that men were alive. Carr fol- lowed and carried on the hammer conversation that brought to the outside world the dramatic details Of the plight of the six.

Rescue Work Halted

Boston, Dec. 19 Pumping Of air . into the sunken submarine S-4 has stopped and rescue work at the scene was at a standstill today. Rear Ad- Iniral Frank H. Brumby reported to- day on arrival at the Charlestown navy yard on board the mine sweep CT Falcon.
 The departure of the Falcon from the scene of the sinking indicated that the pumping of air to the sub marine had ceased. but pending more detailed information from the ships there 1t was uncertain to what ex- tent the rescue work had been halted.
 The fact that the Falcon was on her way to Boston was not known until q few minutes before she ar rived at the Navy Yard. Shore ob- servers at Provincctown had report cd they were unable to see the ship and it was reported she either had started for Boston or to meet the pontoons now on the way.
 Hose Taken on Board
 After removing L. s. Michael, q. navy diver suffering from the ef- . fects of narrow escape from death during diving operations yesterday. men Of the crew immediately began putting aboard a great quantity of air hose and provisions with the ap- parent intention of starting back to the scene of the wreck.
 No one was permitted aboard and little information as 10 the situation was immediately forthcoming.
 The Falcon bore vivid evidence of the conditions under which the res- cue work is being carried on. The ship was iCo-encrusted and the men were slipping and sliding about the decks as they loaded the equipment. Michael Was taken 10 the naval hos ital in Chelsea and one of the bot ties of heliun gas which came from LakchurSt this morning was sent along for Use in treating him. The remainder Of the helium was put . aboard the Falcon and will be taken back to ProvincetoNu on the ship.

Using this he cut the lines holding the other diver, who, in the meantime, had become unconscious, rom excessive air pressure which resulted from the tio-up in tae air lines connecting his diving suit with the pumping apparatus.
 As soon as Michael was released the excess of lir in his suit sent him shooting toward the surface like q cork. When pulled aboard the Fal- con he was unconscious and it was feared he would die.

 On Even Keel
 The divers found the S-4 resting on an even keel, a fact which Ad- m,ral Brumby said would contribute materially 10 cNpcditlng the work of raising.
 Ashore, Provincetown seethcd witt unwonted animation. This historic old town which in summer is q mecca for tourists and artists is usually deserted in winter by all save it's fishermen residents and their families and a few shopkeepcrs.
 Today, however, newspaperInen. photographers, officers and sailors Of the rescue fleet throngcd it's narrow streets. Rooms were at q premium and so were fishing boats with news papcrnen eagerly seeking to charter the latter for close observation of the salvage work and to expedite passage to and from the ships.
 The few restaurants which were open found their facilities scarcely equal to the demand.
 But although probably the great est drama in its history was taking place d bare mile from shore, provincetown was forced 10 depend for it's news of the progress of res cue upon telephone and radio from Boston.
 A treacherous sea made boating hazardous Sunday and cut off com munication with the naval ships from which correspondents were radioing their news. Reporters caught ashore had little choice but to etand idly by.
 At the post office every incoming mail added it's bit to the stack of holiday parcels intended for the crew of the S-4. Naval officers who viewed il sorrowfully feared that much of it would never be opened, Others were more optimistic,
 But they were largely those who had little experience in such mat tors.
