RUSSIAN CREW
• NEAR DEATH
Boat Lies Nine Hours on Bottom
of Sea—Raised and All Are
Saved.
i
A recent dispatch from SI.
Petersburg relates the following
terrible experience of the crew of
ja Russian submarine:
Owing to. the official imiuiry,
111” full details of the terrible ex
perience of the commander and
crew of nineteen of the submarine
JUinoga are now available. The
boat, under the command of Lieut.
Garsoov, was manoeuvering off
Libau, when she was seen to take
a sudden plunge. The appear
ance of the emergency*buoy first
gave the alarm. Then for nine
hours nothing was known.
The accident happened at 3 in
I tie afternoon, but owing, it would
seem, to the'dispersal of the men
on a Saturday the message was
not acted on for several hours,
and if was not until t) at night
that the salvage vessels reached
the spot. The weather conditions
remained happily favorable, and
divers having lixed I he lifting
chains, the Miiinga was success
fully brought to the surface by
midnight, having been nine hours
at the bottom of the sea.
I When the after hatch was op
ened llirel! men staggered out,
barely able to crawl. Killeen of
the crew and the captain were got
out unconscious from Ihe after
part of Ihe vessel. There remain-'
ed only the coxswain, who was in
Ihe conning tower amidships It
was necessary to raise the sub
marine well ou| of I be water to
gel at the conning tower, and this
took another three hours 'work,
but the coxswain, when releas
ed after I'-’ hours’ confinement,
was in Ihe best condition of any
of Ihe crew. Thus Ihe whole
command of -0 men was saved
and the submarine recovered af
ter lying nine hours at Ihe bot
tom of Ihe sea helpless.
The cause of Ihu accident has
been ascertained to have been a
defective ventilator. Hcfore cx
jercising, these ventilators, which!
are indispensable to the proper
‘action of the accumulators which
'provide the inotiv* 'energy of sub
marines, are screwed home from
jibe inside. A ventilator in the
[forward part of the vessel was
leilher defective or had no| been
[properly screwed home. The lill
Irr 111 in'll‘ happen owing to Ihe
presence of some foreign body, a
'(•leaning rag, for instance, which
!would suffice to prevent a proper
! watertight closing of Ihe veil II
jlalor. while leaving the man who
had charge of it under Ihe im
I pression that lie had duly screw
j ed it home. >
Whatever the mipiiry may shew
ifn have been I tie immediate cause
iof the defect, it is known that the
!accident happened by water leak
ing in through this forward ven
' tilat.or until the delicate trim of
I the submarine was affected and
! she plunged head foremost to the
j bottom. Water ebntinued to ro
ller until the air within the vessel
jwas so far compressed as to re
sist the entrance of any more at a
I pressure of seven fathoms’ depth.
! On this air the crew of 20 sur
vived, the captain and. fifteen of
the men in the body of the ves
sel suffering also from the fumes
j of chlorine gas given off' by the
i accumulators. The three men
j who crawled out unaided by the
afterhatch, and the coxswain, who
I after being confined in the coll
iding tower three hours longer
than any of his mates was yet
■the least affected, were apparent
! ly out of reach of the chlorine
!gas fumes, and the latter, in ad^
idilion, appears to have had more
land better air to breathe. All
have now receovered from the ef
fects of their terrible experience.
