Other high nary officers had
suggested the possibility that the

Divers Work
Through .Night
- Divers had worked through
seme: hours of darkness beneath
the - searchlights - of a fleet M
vessels before "time out" was
called, apparently to determine
the best means of salvage.
Just as dusk fell, the diving

terday ascended once more to
bring word that the only com
partment where life might exist
was fuled with water,
"Opened after hatch. Found
torpedo room flooded. Close'!
hatch;
With these words the fate of
those j left behind was sealed.
Almost simultaneously, a rank
ing: officer reported that the
quickest possible play would be
n? ado of moving the submarine.
One plan, he Bald, was to pump
enough air into the ship to enable
Her to be pulled along the bottom
to shallow water, where more div
ers could work simultaneously
.under less pressure.
The officer added, however,
that if the air gave the Squalus
enough buoyance to bring , her
completely to the surface, the
'craft would be taken immediately
to the drydock at the Portsmouth

hours would be required for the
move, he said, once the prelimin
aries were accomplished and bar
ring qnncuiues.
Bodies May Not
Be Removed
Hisi words confirmed earlier re
ports that only a few if any of the
bodies! now entombed in the Squa
Ins would bo removed before dry
dock Is reached. '
Thus ended a day in which grim
and vivid-, but heroic stories wer
told of the harrowing hoars passed
by the 33 survivors between th
time the Squalus sank at 8:40
a. m.j (EDT) ; on Tuesday until
their fescue yesterday. :
- Lieutenant O. F. Naquln, com
mander of the ill-fated submarine
revealed grimly this afternoon
that the 26 men tranned in the
after compartments had met a
mercifully swift death under the
tons of icy water that poured into
the craft, apparently through an
open induction valve. : 1
!Th lives of the men in the
after'compartment, in my opinion
were snuffed out immediately oy

left alive every man performed

Pal Left To Save
Other j Comrades
One of the most vivid stories
ever: to come from the bottom of
the sea. was told by Lloyd B. Man
ess, of Greensboro. N. C, a bulk
head guard, who had to leave a
pal to; die in order - that other of
his shipmates might be saved. -With
almost snnerhuman
strength-Maness shot the water

ing compartments. . ..
"I had partially closed the door
j when several men shouted to me
frnm tVia : fitltnv afta . Via tt aw
room. - - .
" 'Keep it open.' they yelled,
and I let the door slip back on its
hinges to allow five shipmates to
pass through." '
It wasn't until that first impul
sive action was over, that Maness
realized Sherman Shirley, his
chum, , whose best man he was to
be next Sunday at Shirley's mar
riage to a Dover, N. H., girl, had
been left in the after section.
"We are trained rigidly to act.
-There is no time for sentiment at
such times, so. I gave ho consider
ation to the fate of my shipmates
any. more than I would hare ex
pected, similar consideration had
I been-in' their place."
While high "naval officers still
expressed the belief tonight that
an open air induction valve caus &
the accident, they said they would
pot be, "certain until the ship was
fa: dry-dock. Meanwhile, however,
Machinist Mat Alfred G. --.Prion
said -.warning lights Indicated the
valve "was closed when the sub
marine dived. That ,- concensus
among naval and other observers
here seemed to bo that a mechan
ical breakdown was at fault, inas
much as a valve certainly was
open despite the evidence of the
light signals.
- "Lights flashed on to Indicate
the main induction valve was
closed.". Prien said. "I could not
understand what happened."
