The Admiral's message said Divers Wilson and Eiben had made an air hose connection with the listening de- vice valve leading to the. torpedo room about 10 o'clock." As soon as the connection was made the pressure in the torpedo room was pumped up to four pounds and then vented, or slackened down, dthe message said, adding that the artificial breathing, pouring in fresh air and withdrawing the carbon dio- xide thrown off from the lungs of the imprisoned men, would be con- tinued. Bhe Admiral expressed no opinion whether the six men were alive or dead, but naval officers found in his dispatch, basis for hope that the life giving air had not arrived too late, Brumby's message said the fact that air was reaching the submarine "shows men in the torpedo room ei- ther shipped portable listening gear or teok off the cap and propped slip- per valve open." Naval officers here explained that the entombed men, aware that efforts were bein g made to rescue them, prepared for ingress of the = air through the listening gear valve by removing the equipment and prop ping the valve open. Whether they had done that before the hose con- nection was made, and had since suc- cumbed, or had worked in step with the divers outside, they could not guess. Diver Eadie, the Admiral informed the department, was then going down, at 10 o'clock to attempt to ate tach a second air hose to the torpedo room, thus doubling the air inlet and outlet, Hé¢ added that weather con- ditions remained good. \ REPEATS STORY AT TRIAL Declares Mrs. Gallop Told Him She Had Poisoned Her Husband ---- » Quebec, Dec. 22.--A reiteration of his previous statements was made by Walter Simpson on- day's session of the fourth 1 of Mrs, Amy Sprague Gallop on the charge of murdering her husband.
