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.
