Tragic Situation
STORMS STILL HOLD UP WORK MEN IN SUBMARINE
By Cable.—Press Association. —Cop ight. Reed. 9.5 a.m. NEW YORK. Tues. Faint sounds were heard to-day at noon from within the sunken submarine S 4. Storms continue to frustrate the efforts to rescue the imprisoned men. As warnings have been issued that storms are to be expected in the area of the disaster, the rescuers believe that their operations will have to be suspended until better weather is experienced. The officer in charge of rescue work said the sea was already too rough for diving operations and it was too rough for the rescue ship Falcon to remain at any one spot.
The last communication with the imprisoned men was made at 4.45 p.m., at which hour they gave themselves an hour and a-quarter in which to live.
The sister submarine, S 3, which was standing by the spot, picked up the message by means of an oscillator. The trapped men asked: “Is there any hope?”—A. and N.Z.
