The story was related by Lawrence T. Brown of Lowell, Mass., chief eleo- tcian's mate, one of the men .res- cued from the submarine which was sunk in a collision with the steamship Abangarez off Panama Sunday. Henry Breault, 19, of White Plains, N. Y, a torpedo despatcher, was the hero of the grim adventure. Brown was warm ‘in pralse of the boy and his sentiments were echoed by of- ficers and others of the crew of the 0O-5. Breault was on the deck and saw the looming bow of the Aban- garez. Instead of jumping to safety in the sea, he hurled himself into a hatchway leading to the torpedo room beeause he though ‘there might be others down there.” He awakened Brown and they closed the door but not until a foot of water rushed in as the submarine started to sink. Breault described their experiences in the sunken submarine until their rescue after 12 hours. He sald in Tells of Rescue “After we had been there about three hours a diver came alongside, Breault and I separated, pounding on the boat's sides, so that the rescuers would know there were two of us. Rreault played & kind of a tune with his hammer, indicating to them that we were in good shape and cheerful. We had no food and no water and only the light of a flashlight, but we were confident we could hold out for 48 hours. “The air pressure gave us violent headaches after 20 hours. We did very little talking or moving about; it excited our heart action too much.” A first hoist falled, he explained, after 12 hours. “A long time afterward,” Brown went on ‘“when we had forgotten time and didn’t want to think about it, & second hoist.started. We went up slowly. It seemed like eternity. The last 20 minutes were terrible, then we heard our comrades walking on deck. We knew we were at the surface. Breault opened the hatch— and we were saved.” Charles R. Butler, chief machinist’s mate from New Haven, Conn.,, went down with the boat, but fought his way to the surface through an open hatch.
