SHIP IS Down
NEAR SAIGON:
HOPE IS GONE
Relatives Notified
All of Crew Dead;
Craft Carried No
Escape Apparatus

PARIS The French sub
marine Phenix, with a crew
of probably 63 men, has gone
down off Saigon. French
Indo China, the ministry of
marine announced tonight.
Authorities abandoned all hope
of saving any of the crew. normal
~ 81, the submarine having been
under water more than 30 hours.
Relatives of the men aboard were
notified of their probable loss.
The ministry of marine, issuing
the official announcement shortly
before $50 p. m, asked newspa-
pers not to publish the news be-
fore 10 p. m. so that all relatives
of the men could be notified first.
The Phenix was on detached
service. cruising off the lndo-
China coast, in shark-infested Wa
ters. No details had yet been
received of the cause Of the &C
eident.
Third Disaster
The submarine is one of the
larger types Of submersibles, OF
1879 tons and 302 feet long
1t was not believed any escape
equipment was aboard, not even
Davis or Momsen ''lungs.'
This was the third msjor sub
marine disaster in less than a
month. the others having been the
United States submarine Squalls
off Portsmouth, n. H.. May %,
and the British Thetis in the Irish
sea. near Liverpool June /.
The Davis lung enabled four
men to escape from the Thetis,
bobbing TO the surface from an
escape hatch. The Phenix, built
in 1880. has no escaTe hatch
1873 Lives Lost
On the Thetis. 90 men We're lost
and only four saved. BY the use of
a special diving bell, the United
States navy was able to save 80
men from the Squalus, although
rs were lost.
The Phenix disaster brings the
total of lives lost in the three
disasters to approximately 1s5.
Only As hours ago. Cesar Cam
pinchi, navy minister. informed
the naval committee of the cham
Der of deputies he is seeking to
buy four diving bells from the
United States, to avert such dis
asters.
Despite che delay in publication
of the news, word of the Phenix
disaster spread rapidly through
Paris and caused profound con-
sternation.

Authorities. however. had little
hope. The French have several
submarine rescue ships. but none
In China waters. There are Brit
ish ships at Singapore and Hong
Kong. and the United States has a
diving bell in the Philippines, but
apparently none could reach the
