SURVIVORS OF SUB H-l ARRIVE SAFELY AT LOS ANGELES New Tale of Bravery in Face of Death Added to ' k Navy Annals. , ' Los Angeles, March 18. Another tale of matter of fact bravery in the face of death was added to the annals of the American navy when the survivors of the crew of the submarine H-l arrived here aboard the motorship Mazatlan. The H-l went ashore off the coast of Lower California in Magdalena bay Thursday night. .March 11. The commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander James R." Webb and three enlisted men lost their lives in attempting to leave the vessel. The survivors reported that the bodies of two, H. S. Delamarine, seaman, and Harry W. Giles, seaman second class, were washed to the beach later and were buried. Two Bodies Not Recovered. Commander Webb's body and that of Seaman Joseph Kaufman had not been recovered when the Mazatlan left, but watch was being kept for them. No formal story of the beaching of the H-l had been told here, and it is expected none will be, until the usual court of inquiry has heard the stories of the survivors, but from various members of the crew it .was learned that the H-l and its sister submarine, the H2 were sailing northward, the H-l in the lead. The H-2 was - about 400 yards behind and her lookout saw that the H-l was in trouble so he promptly caused the H-2 to change course and avoided a like fate. . ' Aid Impossible. Submarines of the type of i the H-l carry no small boats. Therefore the H-2 could give no aid and the H-l crew had to rely on their own ability as swimmers to reach the shore of Redondo Point. The vessel was afloat.' The con ning tower was opened, the crew ordered out of the submarine and the men swimming alone or aiding each other, all made the shore with the exception of the three enlisted men who were believed to have per ished in their efforts to reach land. The beaching of the submarine H-l was the result of the topo- ?;raphy of that island being mistaken or the entrance to Magdalena bay, according to members of the crew of the motorship Mazatlan,' which brought to Los Angeles harbor the survivors of the submarine.
