Isn't there anything elise for us to do but wait?” Thousands of others were waiting too, relatives, friends, comrades of the trapped men and officials in Washington. Rescue operations began in earn-

Divers, mobilized aboard the submarine Sculpm, which first located her sunken sister craft and stood hy ever since, swarmed aboard the salvage ship.

The scene was marked by a mile- |

wide splotch of oil, dumped by surface craft to smooth the choppy waters. All except Navy ships were ordered to keep at least 700 yards from the buoy marking the Squalus.

It was announced by the Navy Department that communication had been established with the Squalus by a secret, under-water sound method. It was apparently by this method that Lieut.

Launched in September

Launched last Sept. 14 at a cost of five million dollars, the Squalus,

of 1450 tons and 299 feet long, left here at 5 a. m. vesterday for routine training. She was to have staved down an hour and to have come back to the surface at 7:40 a. m. When she failed to do so, the Sculpin was sent out to search for her. The Scupin's crew first saw a red smudge from a smoke bomb the Squalus had released from the ocean floor. These red bombs mean—“a submarine needs assistance.” Then the Sculpin came upon a vellow marker buoy released from the Squalus’ nose. It carried a telephone, attached to the sunken ship by 350 feet of wire.

Communication Broken

Rear Admiral Cole aboard the Sculpin took the telephone, talked with Lieut. Comm. Naquin at the other end of the line, and got a few details of the mishap before the line was broken and the buoy floated away. First on the scene were the Coast Guard patrol boats and airplanes, which hovered above all afternoon watching for any appearance of indicating that

“lungs.” With darkness, the watch was kept in the glare of searchlights. The Squalus is one of six identical new submarines, of which one, the Swordfish. under construction at Mare Island Navy Yard. is not vet finished The Squalus had been commissioned, but had not made its shakedown run. It was built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, where another sister ship. the Sculpin, also was built. The three others are the Spearfish, Sargo and Saury. Their surface displacement is about 1450 tons and they are just under 300 feet long—not particularly large as submarines go. Each carries six 21-inch torpedo tubes and a 3-inch gun.

WOMEN OF SEA KEEPING VIGIL

Navy Officials Speed All Reports of Rescue Work To Band of 50.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, May 24 (U. P.).—Some 50 anguished women, their faces drawn after a sleepless night, kept vigil in a little brick, house overlooking the sea today.

Squalus From Which Dead, Living Are Being Removed

Pictured above is the Navy Submarine Squalus which lies on the sea bottom off New Hampshire today and from which the dead and living are slowly being removed in a diving bell.

They were the wives of the officers |

and sailors trapped in the submarine Squalus on the floor of the Atlantic | ocean, 15 miles outside the harbor. |

Trained themselves in the ways of |

the sea, they made brave efforts to conceal their own suffering. Navy Yard marines patroled the

home of Capt. H. R. Greenlee where |

they were quartered and

rigidly |

enforced the official rule which gave |

them privacy. Mrs. Greenlee took care of the more nervous of their number, pouring coffee throughout | | the night, serving food, and Witeiig] what cheer she could.

Reports Are Telephoned

They were the first to be told of

official dispatches from the scene of the sinking. By order Comm. J. J. Curley the reports were telephoned to the Greenlee home before they were made public. | Those infrequent reports, terse and inconclusive, were the events around which the women now were building their hopes for the future. Lieut. Comm. Curley, himself, read most of the messages to the Greenlee home. | The wives and sweethearts of the Squalus’ men were escorted to the “vigil house” by Navy officers. Many of them had run breathless and frantic into the commandant’s office. They had been soothed and! reassured there and then sent up| [to the brick house on the hill. | Mrs. Oliver F. Naquin, wife of the | [lieutenant commander of the ill-| fated vessel, spent some time with the other wives, trying to console them. She was hopeful. Of her husband she said: “He is perfectly all right. 1 know it. The whoie thing will be over tomorrow.” Stavs Awake AN Night

Mrs. Naquin, a pretty brunet and | the mother of two young children. had been up, like the others, all| night. When she first heard the news, she trembled, but collected | herself and devoted her time to the others. Meanwhile, this ordinarily reposed | little city of 15.000 had been con- | verted into a turbulently aroused | community whose one interest and| topic of conversation was the | | Squalus. Thousands milled around the Navy Yard. where the Piscataqua River pours into the Atlantic Ocean, and intently watched rescue preparations and operations. Most of the officers and sailors attached to the vard are quartered in small apartments and cottages throughout the city. A few of the | officers have homes within the vard. The usual social activities of the “Navy set” had, of corse, come t0 an abrupt halt.

SHERIFF SEEKS AID

TO RAID CONSULATE

LOS ANGELES. May 24 (U. P.).— Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz has asked Secretary of State Cordell Hull to cancel the diplomatic immunity of the Dominican Republic's consulate, so he can order a gambling raid on the place. Previously, the Sheriff asked Mr. Hull's advice about the propriety ‘of ordering his men into the consulate, and was informed such action might bring him a three-year prison term and a suit for civil damages. The Sheriff said the place had become one of the largest gambling resorts in the city.

JAMMED VALVE WORKS BY HAND

r Human or Structural Failure Is to Blame.

WASHINGTON, May 2¢ (U. P) —

Navy Department officials believed today there was a possibility that some member of the crew of the sunken submarine Squalus failed to close the induction valve througn which water poured when the vessel dived off the New England coast. Officials said the valve, closing an opening on the conning tower

[through which air is sucked for the | engine rooms when the vessel is on

the surface, is opened and closed

by hand. However. they said they would not know until an examination could be made whether it was a personnel failure or possibly that there had been a structural defect in the valve The valve is about 30 inches in diameter and a pressure screw, turned by hand, opens and closes it. | Officials estimated that unclosed in a dive, water would pour through it and fill up the engine compartment at the rate of about one foot every 30 seconds. Officials found it difficult, how-| | ever. to believe that a member of | the ~rew had been so careless. They | pointed out that crews manning the Navy's submarines have been trained innumerable times in duties for every step during diving manuevers. | Likewise they and the men who, man the rescue ships have been | trained to meet the emergency now confronting them by drills in hypotheticol disasters simulating all possible circumstances. | So exacting and hazardous is the receives a flat bonus amounting to] | 25 per cent of the base pay. | ago each member of a submarine! crew received $1 for each dive, with | dives limited to one a day and 15 a month.

Breaks Another Tradition

Thus the King, as King of each lof the separate dominions, pledged them so far as he was able, to peace with the United States. He cited the example of the United States and Canada living as good neigh- | bors for more than 100 years with- | out recourse to war. This incursion into the field of in- | ternational politics broke another tradition in a series of smashings of precedent on the royal visit which brought the King and Queen today to the heart of their Canadian dominion. It seemed to some that the King
