Blown free Of water in surpris-
ingly fast time, four aft pontoons
bobbed to the surface in swift sue
cession, signifying the stern of the
s., 900. 900 submersible, 40 fathoms
down, had been raised.
Over the spot where the Squa-
lus lay with its 26 dead men. the
glass-smooth sea suddenly became
a boiling cauldron as the huge
pontoons broke water.
An expanse of ocean $50 feet
square was churned into white
foam. which boiled for several
minutes after the pontoons ap-
peared.
Inspect Pontoons
Scores of men watched anxious
ly from the decks of the salvage
fleet, mindful of the near-disaster
a month ago, when the bow of
the Squalus knitted the surface
during the first lift attempt.
When the water had Gained.
salvage workers aboard the two
small coast guard boats went to
the pontoons and inspected them.
1t was the greatest salvage job
ever undertaken by the navy, one
that almost cost 81 lives a month
ago. when the great submersible
suddenly broke water and barely
missed knitting two whaleboats
filled with salvage workers.
Seek shallow Water
Except for those few minutes
on July Is when the $4,000, 900
Squalus, dislodged by air filled
pontoons, shot to the surface, then
broke from the pontoon lines and
sank again. she had not budged--
until today-from her resting place
off the Isle Of Shoals, where she
went down during diving practice.
Today's plan was not to bring
her to the surface. but to hoist
her 90 feet from the ocean floor
