DESTROYER DAMAGED
RESCUE WORK HAMPERED
(Eeceived 19th December, 12.30 p m ) NEW YOBK, 18th Docember/ The destroyer Paulding belonged to the anti-rum-running patrol. The S4 had 43 officers and men on board. The Navy Department believes that the men will be alive, only if the craft itself is not seriously damaged. Boats that cruised about the spot where the submarine was sunk found no survivors indicating perhaps that tho hull of the vessel was not pierced. The Paulding was beached at Provincetown Harbour. Her hull was bad-, ly damaged and one member of the crew was seriously scalded by the explosion of a steam-pipe. Vessels with salvage equipment are speeding from Boston and New York to the scene of the accident, but there are little prospects that raising operations can begin for at least another fifteen hours. High seas; moreover, indicate that tho rescue work will bo hampered.
