ill r ig ———— SURFACE OF THE WATER COV- ERED WITH OIL, BUT THE MARKER BUOY HAS THUS FAR FAILED TO COME TO THE TOP; 18 ONE OF WORST NAVAL Dis- ASTERS Ik WORLD'S HISTORY (By Associated Press.) Washington, March 26.—Trapped at the bottom of Honolulu harbor under at least thirty_five fathoms of water and probably more, the United States submarine F 4 lies helpless with her commander and at least eichteen men. It is’feared the ac. cident will prove one of the worst submarine boat disasters in the world’s naval history. Since the vessel disappeared yes- terday every effort Bnown in naval practice has been tried out without avail to raise the boat. Her marker buoy, which should come to the top of the water to disclose her resting place has failed to appear. The sur- face of the water {8 covered with a film of ofl from the submerged boat’s tanks. i Navy department officials fear one' of two calamities, that the F_4) struck & rock and her crew was drowned by Inrushing waters, or that there was an internal explosion. While hope for the men has not been | given up, the gravest fears are held that they have been lost in the first submarine disaster to the United States navy. i It the F.4 has gone deeper than 283 feet the world’s diving record for submarines, it is feared that the tremendous pressure of the waters crushed her shell. { POLITICS AND POLITICIANS | Mud.caked soldicrs are the idols of Paris just now. 3 There are nine cities in the state of Towa under commission govern- ment. .
