Johannes Rasmussen, AZ years old, oil
Ballston, Va, a civilian diver. after ms
air supply had been cut of while ne
was at work on the bottom OF the
Potomac. causing him to be stricken
with the bends"
Rasmussen is employed by the United
States engineer department in deepen
| ing the channel near the near Airing
ton Memorial Bridge.
When he was drawn to the surface
| his head and face we're so swollen that
, It was with extreme difficulty that the
| large steel helmet was removed. He
was bleeding from the mouth and nose
He was rushed to Emergency Hos
pital In an automobile driven by e. j.
Merrick of the Navy Department. and
Drs. Edward Grass and M. j. White
administered oxygen for more than an
hour, but Rasmussen continued TO grow
worse.
Navy Station Asked to Aid.
1t was then that they learned OF the
Navy Yard station and the stricken
man was rushed there. Chief Gunner
c. l.. Tibbals said that it looked lmpos-
sible for Rasmussen TO live longer than
five minutes, but he was placed in the
huge air tank and the pressure turned
on In a half hour he was talking,
and after spending more than two hours
| in the tank he had sufficiently recovered
to be removed to Providence Hospital.
When interviewed today at the hos
ptal. Rasmussen said he was conscious
during the entire time and that the five
minutes required to draw him to the
surface after he had given distress
signal seemed more than an hour.
II have been diver for the past 81
wears" Rasmussen said, "and this Is
| the first time that have suffered an
experience of this kind. I was working
| only 81 feet below the surface yester-
day. but have worked as low as 30 feet
in Boston Harbor without feeling any
Ill effects.
"My little 4-year-old son, Chris,
always said that he wanted to be a
diver too" he continued. but when he
looked at my purple and swollen face
last night he changed his mind and will
| follow a career above water"
Rasmussen is a native Of Denmark,
but has lived in this country since he
was ii years old. He is married and
has four children.
List Of Life Savers.
The men who worked on him at the
navy yard and who are given credit
for saving his life are Tibbais, Chief
Gunner w. F. Longhman. Chief Phar-
macist E. r. Noyes. j. Eiben. chief tor
pedo man, and Ray Syphax, chief
boatswain's mate. All cared for the
divers who attempted to effect the
release OF the crew 81 the Inflated
Submarine S-4. and have been engaged
in that type of work for many years.
When the air line was fouled cutting
off the divers normal supply, 1t was
explained. water pressure equal to 10
! tons was exerted against his body. forc-
| ing all the blood to the head. while III
| the meantime the air pressure set up
| inside the body caused excessive
swelling.
| The treatment in the recompression

in feeding air to him in there until his
