Squalus Sinks Again
NEW YORK, July 14.
The ill-fated submarine Squaius, with her grim cargo of 26 dead, momentarily came to the surface with the aid of pontoons yesterday, and then plunged to the bottom again when the powerful chains snapped. It was a heartbreaking climax to seven weeks of painstaking salvage work. Three of the lifting cylinders are still attached to the sunken submarine, and chains are still under the stern, which is expected to facilitate the next effort at salvage.
The Pope’s sacred ring was pulled off his finger without the knowledge of the Pontiff while thousands were kissing it at the weekly audience. A man shouted, “The Ring! The Ring!” and restored it to the Pope.
