How Submarine Will Be
Raised From 40 Fathoms
Especial to The Cifizen)
By FRANK w. LOWERING

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June /
The sunken submarine Squalls
will not be raised to the surface
directly above where she lies in
40 fathoms Is miles southeast OF
the Naval Station here.
BY a change in the salvage
plans the death craft, in which
rs men are entombed in the
after compartments, will be first
raised and suspended in the sea
through the use of pontoons to a
height of possibly $50 feet, and
then will be lowed toward the
naval station till she strikes
Shallower bottom.
If the plan shall proceed suc-
cessfully that far, the pontoons
will be sunk taut at a new and
lesser depth and the sub raised
from that location and towed
still further toward shore. Sew
eral miles of gradually rising
ocean floor will thus be passed
and salvage work will be much
less dangerous than under the
plan first proposed, which was to
! bring the Soualus straight up to
the surface and then tow her to
Portsmouth.
This is the most complicated
underseas rescue operation ever
attempted in the history OF the
world, and by it the tremendous
handicap of underwater pressure
figured at 100 to the square inch,
will be overcome. So great is
this pressure that naval men say
solid logs would be squeezed into
wood pulp down there 240 feet
where the Squalus lies.
First Shift Two Miles
Capt. R. S. Edwards, COM
handing U. S. Submarine squad
ron No. 2, expects the first shift
in position of the Squalls will be
about two miles generally due
North toward Isles of Shoals
Changes in the plans first deter
mined upon to scissor" the sub
marine to the surface by alter
nately raising bow and stern, and
then towing her to port, were
shifted when divers reported
early this week that the Squalls
in her death dive plunged about
! 20 feet of her after end into blue
clay mud.
BY the new program of salvage
it will be necessary, the naval
authorities assert, only to bind

Excellent Program Put On Last
Evening At Class Day Exercises

Class Day Exercises of the Key
West High School were held in
the auditorium of the school last
night before a record audience.
The auditorium seats STA and it
was packed with the lobby filled
to overlooking and every window
on either side of the building
crowded with friends of the class
members.
The entertainment opened with
an overture by the High School
Orchestra and was followed by
the Salutatory, which was de-
livered by Mario Napoles, with
officers and members of the crew
of the Good Ship, and the passen-
gers, all at their posts, on the
stage which was dressed as a
ship under way. Crew and pas
sengers were composed of the
graduating class of SO students.
Log of the ship, which was the
class history, was read by Mar
garet Bernal, and during the
reading the highlights of the
students were depicted by the
members of the class who were
shown at their several tasks and
courses of study.
Shooting the Stars, the class
prophecy, was a very entertain
ing part of the program and was
in the hands of Dorothea Stricken,
and her outlining of what the
future held in store for her class
mates, were at times interesting
and replete with humorous sug-
gestions.
Last will and testament was
read by Phyllis Adams, and the
opening of the sea chest was an
event, and in the distribution OF
the various gifts brought cheers
and laughter from the audience
as the awards were handed to
the members of the graduating
class. On each gift was a bit OF
verse which was read as the
token was presented by John
Robinson. Each member of the
class was also presented a copy
of the School Annual.
The Senior Class presented to
the school the 1889 edition of the
stConch" and a splendid set OF
reference books put out by the
smithsonian Institution. The
presentation was made to Prin-
cipal Horace O'Bryant who gave
his thanks to the class with
pride. He then went on to offer

bow. These pontoons will be
lowed to possibly $50 feet from
the surface and rugged there.
The negative buoyancy will be
removed and compressed air will
be pumped in. Then the SUBJ
marine is expected to pull away
from the opposing suction and
deep sea pressure as the air
drums seek the surface.
Tugs will Tow Wreck
Suspended then in mid-depth,
tugs will drag the Squalus un-
der water till she strikes shall
lower bottom when the opera
ton may be repeated, possibly
two times. Capt. Edwards says.
He further explained that he
could not estimate how long the
work would require, and while
fully aware of the difficulties of
the new plan, this plan eliminates
the danger of the death-trap ris-
ing one end first. The captain
said sit would be fatal to get the
ship up too fast"
Tunnels probably will have to
be excavated aft through the
compacted clay mud. This work
can be accomplished with the
use of compressed air and an i'm
proved type of fire nozzle. If
done, it will be one of the most
dangerous phases of the salvage
work for the heroic divers.
It is possible one or more
divers may be put inside the
Squalus during the underwater
changes in position of the wreck,
but this will not be done unless
absolutely necessary. If the
struts of the Sualus' propeller
can be used for rigging the pom
toons aft that may be done, and
will save much tunnelling.

With three sessions a day in

lost his pep, even if he did slip
off and get married to his law
partner over the weekend, and
every once in a while he adds
little zest to the proceedings,
mixing horse sense and humor
! in homeopathic doses. Senator
Mapoles isn't as full of fight az
he was earlier in the session and

adroit quips. Senator Stuart
ellis, urbane as when the ses-
sion strated, continues to rise
and set on both President Turner

they would give them everything
