Who Escaped not Allowed to TeU of Disaster (Continued from page 1) Liverpool bay, carried 12 men below with her la her dive. Foar men escaped with Davis breathing "tangs." Three others were said to have died in vain attempts.. The catastrophe had all the ale-, meats of a major mystery. The Thetis had had several minor accidents In .previous trials but there was still no official ex planation of why she suddenly plunged into the mud. Neither was there any explana tion of why four men managed to get through the aft escape hatch within an hour Friday morning and then no more escaped. Escaped Men Kept Silent Those four, were Capt. H. P. K. Oram, Lieut. O. F. Woods, Chief Stoker W. C. Arnold and Frank Shaw but none of them was al lowed for the present to make any official statement of what hap pened at the time of the accident or what plight the others were In when they left the submarine. Photographs of attempts to tow the Thetis out of the mud yester day indicated that a broken cable may have cost the lives of the 98 men. When the Thetis was found early yesterday morning about 18 feet of her stern was sticking out of the water. Officials then con sidered trying to cut the stern off, but aparently decided first to try to pull the vessel loose. A cable attached to the salvage ship Vigilant was fastened to the Thetis' rudder. Another cable was attached from the Vigilant to a tug. The two ships gradually in creased pressure on the cable un til the great grey fin ot the Thetis rose higher out of the water. When the Thetis had reached an almost vertical position, much of her 285-foot length Jutting up above the 130 feet ot water, the cable. Bnapped. The submarine dropped back into her original po sition and slowly vanished below the surface. Tonight her great, crippled hulk lay at the bottom, her gear gently tapping in a running tide. There were several theories as to what caused the Thetis catas tropTie. " One held by shipping circles was that in making a speed dive she might have encountered more tban one current flowing at dif ferent Speeds below the surface. R. S. Johnson, managing direct or of.Cammell Laird, Ltd., said the submarine conceivably could have struck wreckage but he ack nowledged "We do not know." He said the submarine was tilt ed at such an angle, however, and was so constructed that to cut a bole through the projecting aft would have been of little advan tage to the rescue work. The British Broadcasting cor poration asked the public tonight for special prayers for the famil ies of the entombed men. Open. 8 A. IU to o P.
