Among the men, women and chil

of the best known men In the engi

trip had been taken as a side Issue
to the first annual convention of the
Mid-South Association oC Engineers,
Just formed here.
From out of the swamps of Arkan
sas came the hero of the occasion a
big black negro man Tom Lee. On
his broad shoulders and the motor
boat of his employers at Helena, Ark.!
fell the burden of life saving.
Lee, a slow, methodical man, went
about Ills work as methodically as any
of the silent, methodical men who
made up the bulk of the party. He
loaded his boat with victims of the

persons on board the steamer, Includ

zled vetoran of the river, who had
commanded the ill-fated vessel.
Todny the search for the dead and
possible living continues; Up the
tanks of the stream from Drulns, the
Chisca and the Monitor are scouring
the banks looking for bodies and pos
sibly living. The government Is plan
ning to send down divers in an effort
to penetrate the sunken cabin in the
hope of recovering some of the bodies.
It also was planned, if necessary, to
bore a hole in tbe steel hull of the
beat. . -
Soon after the captain had ordered
the passengers scattered, said Ft., O.
Schaefer. southern contractor, Major
D. H. Gillette. United States engineer,
reported trouble with the steering
wheel and said the engineer wanted
to nut ashore to fix it. -
"While Captain Fenton was casting
about for a safe landing place," said
Mr. Schaefer, "the boat careened.
Just before somebody yelled 'she's
going over,' and the boat slowly began
to turn on its side. Poople on the
upper deck started climbing over the
turning side and about a minute Inter
the Norman was resting bottom side
up."
Cause Not Known,
";VPramatic stories were told of the
v?ntl staggering of the steamer just
before she went down. She listed
heavily, from what cause It has not
been determined, and Captain Fenton
ordered - the passengers scattered,
thinking too many were on one side
of the boat. Sitting in the cabin was
a group of Memphis engineers bent
on organizing a local chapter of tbe
American . Society of Civil Engineers.
"Trim the ship,", came the order.
There was no excitement. The engi

cabin. Hardly had they reached the
deck before the ship wildly careened
to the starboard. She refused to
answer her helm. Three minutes
later she was a hulk lying upside
down in the stream, her passengers
and crew struggling in the swift water.
Clarence Miller, ZD, noted through

pires.
The actual problem of the maneu
vers was to test the sufficiency of
personnel and equipment of the peace
time garrison of Oahu island.
Defects which It is believed the re
port will point out in the nary garri
son are: First,-that 13.000 men in
the regular army garrison and forming
tho mobile defense is too small a force
by from 6000 to 7000 men. "'
Second, that failure to provide ade
quate means for Interior communica
tions of Oahu. which includes all ele
ments . of modern communications,'
would have rendered doubtful the
success of even a larger garrison in
defending the Island against the land
ing operations. -
Third, that the present strength of
the .army air service detachments
assigned to the Hawaiian islands Is
not sufficient.
Fourth, that the present equipment
of the garrison air service, particu-
larly in long range scouting pianos,
wholly Inadequate to afford the de -
fpndlnff force neressarv information
of an approaching enemy In time to
repel a landing. I
On the naval side It is predicted
that there will be again disclosed vital
weaknesses In the composition of the
fleet, among them:
First, lack of modern post treaty
high speed 1 0.000-ton light cruisers.
Second, lack of sea-keeping fleet
submarines. "
Third, lack of large high speed air
plane carriers and of adequate num
bers of modern aircraft with the fleej
Itself.
In addition, It Is explained that
naval weaknesses will be disclsoed in
the report from Reur-Admiral Mac-
Ilonaln, who was associated wnn
.IaJor-Genernl Lewis In the Joint de-
fenso of Oahu. From that aspect It,
appears probable to officers here that
lack of mine-planting submarines as a
nart of the- regular naval contingent
assigned to the Hawaiian Islands will
be emphasized. It Is felt also mat
the peace-time naval forces at tne
island should Includemodern light

surface auxiliaries necessary for long

Incidental to the presence of the

waters, but not arising out of the

arisen wide discussions of the Inade

fundamental reason for establishing
