The usual method of communication is by hammering on the hull. The message said: “Diver located S-51. Resting on keel, inclined to port. Attempts to communicate with crew not successful. Large hole in port side shaft of conning tower.” NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 26.—(By U. P.)—Trapped in the submarine S-51, 34 officers and men of the American naval vessel are imprisoned today 130 feet below the surface of the sea, . following a collision of the submarine with the coastwise steamer City of Rome. Whether the men are alive or not is now a matter of conjecture. Lieutenant Commander Scanlon of the New London submarine base believes there is a possibility that they are alive and that there is a fighting chance to saye them. Others believe they have per- ished. The collision pape at 10:24 last night, so that at noon to- day the victims of the disaster had been imprisoned in the sub- marine for more than 14 hours.
