JAPANESE SUBMARINE DISASTER. MESSAGES FROM THE CREW. Bros* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO, October 24. The recovery of the bodies of the crew of submarine 70, which sank at Kobe on her trial in August last, discloses the fact that some of the crew lived for several hours after the plunge. They left messages showing that they met death calmly and bravely. A note found in a towel which was wrapped round the head of the chief engineer (Shirokane) says; “We are satisfied that we have done our duty, and we are now awaiting death.” A note .oft by the electrician (Aoki) says; “Goodbye, my family. We are rapidly sinking. If saved, I will again work on submarines. Take care of yourselves. ’ — Sydney Sun Cable.
