British Submarine Disaster
Believed Worst In History
All Hope Abandoned For
Saving Any OF Ninety
Men On Board Sunken
Craft
sBy Associated Press,

AE88g
BIRKENHEAD. Eng. June a.
The Admiralty has answered the
many strong criticisms voiced by
the British ublic-ai-large in re-
gard TO the loss of ninety MEM
bers of the submarine Theiis'
crew and civilians. by stating
that Everything possible was
done TO effect q rescue: no stone
was left uniurned in making
every effort to raise the sunken
Thsiis".
Public criticism treated chiefly
on the question as to why Eng
land did not have similar Diving
Bell equipment as that success
fully employed in the u. S. Navy
submarine Squalus disaster.
All hope has been given up for
any of the ninety left on board
the Thetis-the assumption being
that all have persisted from car
bon monoxide.
Some insight into reasons for
the disaster will be revealed, it is
reported, when the investigation
will consider that the Thetis was
involved in two previous minor
accidents.
The Thetis incident, if no more
persons are rescued. will go down
in history as the worst subma-
rine disaster.
