NAVY STILL IS NOT EQUIPPED FOR DISASTERS Lack of Pontoons Specially Noticeable at Scene of S-4 Rescue. BY GENE COHN NEA Service Writer PROVINCETOWN, Dec! 26.—Two and a half years ago, when the submarine S-51 lay at the sea bottom off Block Island, It became apparent that the United States Navy was equipped inadequately to cope with situations where quick and efficient rescue measures were demanded. Today an official Investigation of the S-4 disaster threatens to disclose similar inadequacy in the second emergency. Experts at rescue work were on the job at Provincetown within a comparatively short time after the S-4 collided with the destroyer Paulding and went careening to the ocean’s floor. But they had very little to work with. Vital Equipment Lacking Pontoons and derrick ships are two vital needs in submarine salvage work. They are essential to raising operations. When the S-4 took forty men to the bottom, the Navy had available only the same six pontoons which were used in 1925 in salvaging the S-51. All six were in storage at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They were towed to Provincetown by slowmoving tugboats. There were no pontoons at the Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, within a couple of hours of the scene of the S-4 disaster. The New London, Conn., submarine base had none. Not until the third day after the S-4 was lost did the tugboat pulling the second string of pontoons from Brooklyn reach Provincetown. Why Not More? Pontoons are neither so bulky nor so expensive that a few of them could not be kept for emergency purposes at any navy yard. One derrick ship, the Century, arrived at Provincetown on Tuesday following the sinking of the S-4 disaster. It had been obtained from a private New York concern, and like the pontoons, had to be towed at slow speed from New York. It developed during the salvage operations that helium was needed for use in connection with diving, to lessen the danger of divers suffering the “bends.” No Helium, Either The rescue ship Falcon was not equipped with tanks of helium when it first reached Provincetown. None was supplied until “Mike” Michaels, a diver, had been stricken by the bends while at work. Practically all the rescue equipment lay idle in Provincetown harbor for disheartening long hours after its arrival. Heavy seas and stormy weather prevented its use, Navy officials explained. But had the sea been as calm as glass costly delay still would have been involved. Failure of the Navy to have a plentiful, well-distributed supply of this equipment seems to ,me to loom stark and distressing against the background of the S-4 tragedy. SEE KHO'OSIE E C H ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN Collectors of Rare Books Interested in 1355 Oration. £’,(/ United I'rraa PERU, Ind., Dec. 26—Collecttors of rare books are endeavoring to obtain a copy of a sermon on Abraham Lincoln, delivered by the Rev. Francis F. McCabe in the old Presbyterian Church here in 1865. At present the Sermon seems to be the most sought subject in the city. Dr. Harry Nyce has received a letter from Daniel Newell, a collector of rare books in New Ydrk, stating that Nyce may name his own price for a copy. Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto, Cal., is said to house a copy of the sermon, but Nyce believes a copy of Rev. McCabe’s sermon might be found in the homes of some of the older citizenry here.

H. C. Brooks (left) and Bob Shank.

Bob Shank, Veteran of Sky, Will Open Flying School Here. "Out of the fog, looming uncertainly like towering monsters, were the masts of a battleship. I was heading for them at 100 miles an hour. With a side slip and a zoom, I shot the plane around the coning tower and almost into East River. A group of sailors on the deck of the battleship cheered and waved their hats. They thought I was exhibiting for their entertainment, but to me it was missing death by the smell of a sock.” Using his own words, that is the nearest Bob Shank, oldest living air mail pilot, ever came to death. Shank, a follower of aviation since 1915, is now in Indianapolis. To Open Flying School With H. C. Brooks, local aviator, a new flying school is being organized. A seventy-five-acre tract has been leased on Kessler Blvd. and Lafayette pike for a flying field and a sixship hangar soon will be underway. In the spring the two will complete organization of a State-wide air-taxi service, which will be operated in addition to the flying school and their work as sales representatives in the central States for the Travelair Company, manufacturers. Shank was one of the first four postal department fliers who took the army aviators’ places Aug. 6. 1918, on the New ton air mail route, it' having been started by army men May 30, 1918. Lost in Clouds “The law then,” said Shank, “was ‘the air mail must start regardless of weather.’ If a pilot got no farther than the adjoining cornfield, it was all right, but the mail must start. “It was on Christmas day, 1918, clear and cool, that I left Washington for Philadelphia. When a short distance from Philadelphia I ran into snow clouds and climbed up 7,000 feet above them into the sunshine. I could not see the earth, so I descended. “At about 1,000 feet, I hit a driving blizzard and tried to drop at once to escape it. Suddenly the earth appeared high up on my left, with a | railroad seemingly about to crash | down on me. Skimmed Along Ground “Righting my ship I followed the rails into Philadelphia, just high ! enough to miss the telegraph wires, j At Philly I unloaded and took on I some mail and was off against the I wishes of my friends. “It was Impossible to see from an ! altitude of more than fifty feet and j I skimmed the coast line until I | finally found the Long Island train | sheds. Selecting a track that I cal- ; culated would lead near the landing 1 field, I sailed along just above the wires. “Without warning I heard a great roar and pitched into a cloud as black as night. I had run over a train. When the smoke cleared I was still over the tracks. In a few moments I recognized the station near the field and cut across the snow covered ground, bringing the ship to a halt in front of the hangars. “The boys had set fuses to guide me. The boss came out and said they wired Washington to hold me at Philadelphia on account of the blizzard. But the message was never sent on from Washington. ‘The air mail at least must start.”'

BANDIT SLASHES GIRL Victim Is Stabbed, Change and Stamps Taken. Miss Mary Woods, 652 Blackford St., was attacked by a Negro bandit Sunday morning as she was returning home from work at Blackford St. and Indiana Ave. He cut her chin and right arm and robbed her of some change and stamps. She told police that the man grabbed her and flourished a knife, told her, "I’ll kill you If you scream.” Miss Woods said she called for help and the Negro slashed at her and ran .down an alley. She was treated at city hospital.
