Hope for Success Naval experts directing the exper- iment hope the tests will be the first success of a series by which rescue and salvage of crippled undersea craft may be effected in several hours as against the days previously required. i How long it would take to raise the S-4 in the present test was de- pendent on continued good weather | and the ability of the lifting hooks to hold the craft to the pontoons which will pull the vessel upward 15 the water inside them is forced out. Part of the test was to determine the accessibility of the hooks, and on the bottom the vessel was listed about 25 degress to provide addition- al difticulty in the experiment. The list was created by emptying some of the ballast tanks in the side of the hull leaving other loaded tanks and a flooded engine room to keep | the craft down. | ew London, Dec. 17 (A—The navy had the refitted hulk of the | submarine S-4 at sea today for an | experiment seeking to prevent re- | occurrence of disa: such as |l|u‘ sinking of the undersea boat with a | loss of 40 men exactly oue year ago.

To this, the period of nat- | ural sleep that the king had in the late hours of last night, was doubt- less a valuable gontributory factor. ir Night' The morning bulletin said: “The king had a fair night with |some natural sleep towards morn- ing. The slight improvement in his | majesty's condition noted yesterday | continues.” The bulletin was signed by Sir | |Hugh Rigby, Sir Stanley Hewett and | Lord Dawson of Penn. ~e— | It was noted that today tor - time the bulletin first mentioned | “natural” sleep in reporting devel- | |opments in the Kking's case, al- | |though there had been frequent mention of how well or ill his ma- {iesty slept. This led to the supposi- |tioy that much of the sleep that he had previously been reported as having might have been artificially {induced. The wording in which the bulletins are couched is so careful- | ly chosen as to lend strength to this supposition. Later a statement from an au- [c thoritative quarter confirmed public impression in this respect “This statement interpreted the bul |doctors and using a metho |has relieved treme [the |way to get {o check the cold in his head.
