SIGHT KEN BODIES RECOVERED Grim Cargo Taken From Sunken Submarine After Nine Months New York, July 0.?After nine months at the bottom of the sea in i their steel coffin, the bodies of eightIF. een sailors of the United States submarine S-51 were reclaimed today. The submurine, torn asunder and sunk last September by the steamer City of Home, was drained of water for the first time today and relieved of its grim cargo at the Brooklyn navy yard. Sailors in black oilskins bore from the shattered hulk the bodies of their comrades and from finger prints, ?, clothing and other marks, identification of one after another was made. Work of identification, was suspended until tomorrow after ten victims had Been identified. When the eighteenth body was lifted to the light, navy officers in charge of the removal expressed the belief that no more remained. Continued investigation was ordered, however, to make sure that none had been overlooked. Most of the bodies wore clad only in underclothing, indicating that those ao dressed were off. duty when they met death. A picture believed to be that of the radio man's mother, blurred by sea water, was found near his instruments and other articles testified to the many ties which bound the men to the life from which they so suddenly were torn. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, who inspected the submarine, said that the S-51 sailors would not be given a naval funeral, their relatives having made known their plans for private burial. One of the bodies recovered was * that of a sailor, who investigators believed had fought for life to the very last second. The body was wedged in some pipes at the top of a compartment and belief was expressed that as the water rose the sailor had climbed higher and higher, only to bo drowned when he could climb no more. As to the manner of the death of the sailors as a whole neither Rear Admirail Plunkett nor Secretary Wilbur would express an opinion, beyond remarking that the time must have been very short and that death probably came upon most of the men almost instantaneously, catching them wherever they happened to be. . The naval board of inquiry reopened today and spent the day in an effort to place the blame for the grounding of the S-51 in Bast river as it was being towed to the navy yard from the place where it was sunk last September with a loss of thirty-three lives. This question will occupy the board again tomorrow and after that the main question of blame for the sinking off Block Island will be taken up.
