To lift the little vessel to the sur- face it was found necessary to send to the Pearl Harbor naval station for a derrick and crane.

Rescue vessels dragging the ocean bed with grappling. hooks chanced upon the stricken craft at a depth of 300:feet. Making fast to the F-4, the naval tug Navajo and the steamer Makaala began to tow their find—they were not certain that it was the sub- marine they had hooked—toward shal- low water. Quantities of oil came to the surface, proof that it really was the lost vessel. Soon afterward, a sub- marine marker buoy, descried far be- low the water, removed all doubt that the F-4 had been found. - Just when the marker buoy had been released by the disabled boat there was no means of determining, If the signal was given after the grap- Pling hooks of the rescue vessels took hold then the crew—or at least some of them—vwere still alive. | day of March, 1916.
