fear that if any person should fall

drowned before help could reach them.

Three Hundred Feet Toward
Shallower Water.
HONOLULU, March 30.—Divers
succeeded in placing heavy chains
around the submarine F-4 in the har
bor here and the wreck was dragged
300 feet towards shore and into shal
lower water by the warships.
Owing to the great depth of the
water where the wreck was resting
difficulty was experienced in getting
the chains around the vessel. A div
ing bell is being built to enable divers
to go down to the submarine and
place chains around her so that she
can be lifted to the surface by the
