One body was #een Wedged behind machinery in the engine room and others were reported in the torpedo room. 1t the divers’ estimate is correct it means that the bodies of 13 sailors were washed from the hull by the waves. while it lay on the ocean bed off Block Island after being sunk by the steamer City of Rome last Sep- tember, and will probably never be vered. ‘When the collision occurred there \Wwere 36 men on the 851, Threg were saved and’ eight bodies were later recovered. It had been hoped that the remaining 25 bedies had stayed -in the submarine and could be reclaimed by the bereaved families. Reaches Dry Dock Safely. With seaweed and water pouring from the gaping holes in her forward compartments, the S-51 was pulled into dry ‘dock in’ the navy yard at Brooklyn early today.

The battered bridge was still scovered with strong sea- weed and to parts of the hulk clung the tenacious dark. green moss that sailors call “Neptune's beard.” But parts of her hulk were a glinting red, gleaming brightly in the morning. sun. Officers said the sea had worn away the Navy gray paint. The draft line, painted black, could be seen quite plainly. ‘As she moved further up the ways @ great hole just abaft the conning _tower, became visible. ‘This was a curlously shaped entrance to the bat- tery room, made by the iron prow of the City of Rome, which plerced the steel plates, Most of the crew slept in theq, battery room, and it is there vere supposed to have been when the S-51 plunged to the bottom. Bow Badly Damaged. The bow was badly damaged. This was caused, officers said, by the force of the submarine’s crash against the floor after plunging through 132 feet of water.

Presidents do not ge fishing often, and besidgs the native fishermen and those devotees of the sport among the Sum- mer ¢olonists are mnot without their skepticlsm and jealousy and are losing no time voicing their opinions. Ed Corbin, 'a grizzled old moun- taineer, who has been serving as the guide in these parts for many years, is inclined to think the report that the President caught a 14inch pike weigh- ing four pounds was just a trifie ex- aggerated. He explained _that. the pike “ain't as big as they ‘dnce was.” He remembers the time when they ran as big as—but that is another story, But the pike haven't been g:owlns big in recent years. There re_others who were willing to agree with old Ed Corbin, but did not care to an issue that might involve the President.
