TEN MORE BODIES ARE FOUND IN F-4

Remains of the Victims,Were Crowded Together in Engine Room— Suggests New Theory. Ten more bodies were found Friday in the hull of the United States submarine F-4. They were crowded together in the engine room where a hole w'as cut through the steel plates to effect an entrance. One body was identified. Members of the naval board of inquiry declined to discuss the question of whether the finding of so many bodies in the compartment indicated the nature of the accident which caused the vessel to sink in Honolulu bay on March 25? th, with 22 officers •and men on board. It was suggested •by some of those working on the submarine that an explosion elsewhere in the vessel caused the men to seek refuge in the engine room. -So far 13 bodies have been taken from the hold of the submarine. Others, in a fragmentary state and badly decomposed, have been located, covered with wreckage of the interior.
