W Whitehead, chief machinist's mate
cn the Vesself reached tills City on the
destroyer Melsanough. from the Phila
delphia Navy Yard. Whitehead and his
v-lfc, an English flrl whom he married
In England during the war, aro living
with his parents la 88 Bast Twenty
eighth street, Brooklyn.
"There wara thlrty-sli man and four
officers on the -," said Whitehead. I
"Wo were on our semi-annual seventy- I
two hour test cruise, and wo had been j
twenty-four hours on tho surfuco and
then suhmeraed for flvo hours. Then
W( went ahead at full speed for four I
hours. We had completed this series ,
of tests and broken all records, when i
we started to take the last dive called
for In tho test end then It happened.
"We went down Into feet of water
and the llrst we knew that anything was
wrong was when water started to rush
in on us.
"This was caused by a defective main
air Intake valve. This valve always had
been hard to work and one of the crew
had put n wrench on it. and thought
It wus closed, but it was defective.
"This allowed the water to rush Into
the torpedo room at tho forward end of
the boat, Into tho control room In the
centre and Into tho engine and motor
rooms aft.,
"We hit bottom and rested easily.
The Captain and the men, down there
it the bottom of the sea, had a router
once, and wo started the air salvage
ystem to work This has 2,300 pounds
if coinpiessed aii pressure, and wo tried
to blow the water out of the tank, but
tho added water was too much, and wt
OOUld not rise. (The torpedo room was
completely flooded. We closed the water
tank door from the torpedo room Into the
battery room, but still there was two or
three feet of water In each room. Wo
tried to blow tho water out of the tor
pedo room, but with no effect. Wo blew
all Of the oil out of the fuel tank under
the boat, but we were atlll too heavy
to rise.
"The Captain then figured out that
ttr boat was 291 feet long nnd the Water
was mil mo icoi deep anil mat Dy stand
ing tho boat on her nose the stern would
project through the water. To do this
we had to let the water from other com
partment run into the storage room
where we know It would fi rm a deadly
chlorine gas, but there was nothing olse
to do.
"We blew out this water, but ns It
rushed past and the stern began to rise
wo were all swept alonn with It, several
of the men sustaining Injury The salt
water on the battery plates caused the
formation of the chlorine gaa and the
men began choking, we hadd only six
gas masks between us. I had none.
"The captain worked his way aft and
ho communicated with him through a
speaking tube. We finally had to quit
our post, as wo were choking with tho
gas. Wo got Into the next rompurtment
with difficulty unil hud to return to
open a valve, so that Wa could get air.
The lights then went out.
"Finally we got into the tiller room
and after flvo hours' work managed to
drill a small hole through the steel
plates. Wo were about twenty-five feet
above tho water then. Wo then put old
rags on the fuel oil pipe and pushed It
through one of these holes ns a signal to
a steuiner we saw about five miles away.
nut sue eviucntiy aid not see us and
passed us by.
"An hour later the Alnnthus came
nlong, and, luckily for us, she was off
her route through being partly dlsalSled.
She saw us and sent a boat to help us.
Arter getting a cable around us two
crews from thnt bout started to drill
from the outside. We kept working In
side, but the air was so foul that we
could work only for ten mlnutos at a
time and fall back exhausted. Finally
a hole was made large enough to put a
hose through and thus air was pumped
Into us.
"Wo rigged up a funnel and through
this we received the first water we had
luid In twenty hours. After being down
thirty-five hours a plate was out through
large enough for us to be carried out"
Whitehead said nil that the crew and
officers had to eat for the thirty-five
hours was canned tomatoes, corned beef
and string beans, as the compartment In
which tho other food was stored was
flooded. Two bucketsful of water was
all th crew had to drink during the
time the submarine wus submerged and
helpless, he said.
After the crew was placed on the
Alanthus the steamer Ocnrg W. doe
thals arrived, Whitehead asserted, and
later the U. B. battleship Ohio. The
men thon received medical attention.
Eight torpedoes wcto on tho S-8,
Whitehead said, but these Wore pre
vented from exploding because the elec
tric batteries wore dampened by the
water which rushed Into their compartment.
Whitehead said he got permission J
fiom his captain to return home to his
wife, who is In delloato health. All the
money the crew nnd officers had In
their clothes. Whitehead said, waa lost.
