The commander-in-chief of the fleet in China sent word Thursday that there is no foundation for re- Ports that some of the crew who went down with the ship on Tuesday still are living. His messages confirmed reports that divers sent down from H. M. 8. Hermes had received no reply to mes- head tapped out on the submarine’s ull. Bad weather in the Yellow sea has interrupted communication with the sunken submarine, but trawlers were believed to have reestablished contact with the vessel on the bottom. “H. M. S. Hermes reports bad weather on Wednesday parted all communications with the submarine,” the announcement said, “but an ob- ject believed to be the foundered vessel has since been located. Divers are investigating. “The commander-in-chief of the United States Asiatic fleet has of- fered the submarine salvage vessel Pigeon from Tsingtao to assist in the work. The offer has been ac- cepted.” Whether or not life still remains within the submarine was 8 mystery. Admiralty officials said a report eight of the 18 sailors who went down with the craft off Weiheiwei, China, had been in communication with her mother ship had not been confirmed by the naval commander there, and that it was “wholly im- Probable.” Advices from the scene of the dis- aster, a few miles off the northern coast of the Shantung sald divers had been tapping at the hull for some time but had gained no response.

Seven British vessels and a Japan- ese salvage tug are attempting to raise the submersible. She is lay- ing in about 120 feet of water. The survivors, 30 men and five of- ficers, still are aboard the Medway. The funeral of two men who died after escaping from the craft with aol others was scheduled for Thurs- lay.
