THE LOST SUBMARINE.

London, Jaz. 11.

It is officially stated that the 124 is not yet definitely located. She sank without leaving a sign and her whereabouts are only koown approximately. Mine-sweepers resumed the search at daybreak. It is stated that az object has been touched, which may be the 124. but the weather is dead against operations and there is very slight hope of rescuing the crew, assuming they are still alive.. Half a gale is blowing and a rough sea makes it impossible for divers to descent. Thirty fathoms is about the maximum depth, at which divers can work, and then only under favourable conditions.

A private Admiralty Court Inquiry into the disaster has opened abroad the Resolution. It was learned that the difficulty in locating the submarine is increased by the fact that the shock felt by the Resolution was so slight that it was not realised a collision had - occurred until the conclusion of the exercises, when the submarine failed to appear; but the slightness of the impact is the principal reason for hoping the crew may still be alive.

Royal Condolences. According to one account the submarine disaster cccurred during a combined, submarine attack on the Atlantic Fleet. When leaving port the L24 carried fourteen live mines. His Majesty sent a message to the Admiralty, saying he was shocked and grieved to hear of the disaster and deplored the loss of gallant lives. He,
