moved from their steel tomb the

pirate fight TO shut out incoming
water but failed 10 find written mes
sages in which IL had been hoped the
doomed men might have recorded
their account Of the disaster.
The bodies were covered with gray
mud which had seeped In from the
ocean bed off Provincetown, the
scene Of the crash between the sub
marine and eoastguard destroyer
Paulding on December II. \.
A board Of investigation was desig-
mated 20 study each compartment
thoroughly and to be especially care
full to search for possible logs, rec
ords and confidential notes which
