HOW 21 MEN BATTLED FOR LIFE UNDER THE SEA.
-Navy Board’s Report Tells of Sinking of V. S. Submarine at Honolulu.
Washington, Oct. 27.—The story of the battle for life waged in vain 300 feet.under the sea by the SI men who perished in the navy’s submarine F-4 last March at Honolulu is told in the final report of the loss of the vessel submitted by a board of inquiry heatted by Rear Admiral Busch and made public today. Examination of the wrecked hull after it had been placed in drydoca convinced the board that the disaster was caused by a leak resulting from a corroded battery lining, and the failure of the boat through pcor diving qualities to respond promptly to the rudder change, which should have returned it to the surface. Fifteen met death in the engineroom, where they sought refuge at the last; six died at their posts in the flooded forward compartment. All members of the ship’s company are absolved from blame.
