Fourteen Corpses in Her Hold For 1

Bizsrta, Tunis, ]uly 15.?The :
submarine boat, which sank at
the en*ranee of Sidi Ahdnllnh
July 6, was towed into dry dock
today, urtcr ten days' incessant
efforts to raise her. The salvage
operations, which were conducted I
by Admir.il Aubert, assisted by
250 sailors and h large staff of
engineers, have been attended
throughout with a long scries of
mishaps. Tim hu'l of the submarine
was covered with slime, but
was undamaged. When the door
of the hold was opened there was
a rush of nauseous gases from the
decomposed bodies of the fourteen
men who had perishedjin her,
and great emotion prevailed
among the naval officers and the
men who had assisted in raising
the vessel and the ventilators
started.
An inspestion of tho Farfadet
shows that her crow employed
every imaginable device in their
attempts to escape. cc
