Hill (Free Press, 239 pages, $25) All risked suffocation before the hole could be made large enough for the men to escape Its captain, Lt S Navy submarine on the open sea in September 1920, and of the ensuing 36 hours during which the lives of its 40 officers and men hung by slender threads For the first few crucial seconds, the main induction valve wouldn't close â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? The true story A Even if a search had begun immediately, it was unlikely the submarine would be found: Cooke had taken the ship off its planned course along regular sea lanes and it had sunk 50 miles off the coast of New Jersey, probably where nobody would look for it Cmdr The weather was fair and the sea calm when, on Sept Cooke, was under orders to put the ship through a series of maneuvers and tests, including a "crash dive" in which the ship would be submerged at full speed Efforts to pump out the sea water failed for lack of electricity; the radio was too weak to transmit a call for help; air was in short supply; and there was the threat of deadly chlorine gas being formed if sea water combined with the acid of the ship's batteries To make matters worse, the S-5 would not be missed until it became overdue in Baltimore, its first scheduled port of call, in two days He had repeatedly complained about the main induction system, which provided fresh air inside the submarine when it surfaced, because the valve that was to be closed to ensure a watertight hull when the ship submerged was difficult to manipulate Aside from the details of this thrilling rescue, "Under Pressure" discusses the lives and subsequent careers of those aboard the S-5, the ships that participated in the rescue and the press frenzy generated by the event J Other submarines of the same class had reported similar problems with their induction valves, but none had been corrected Since the hatch closest to the stern was under water, Cooke decided to have a hole cut in the exposed part of the hull to provide a means of escape 1, Cooke ordered a crash dive Then came a stroke of good fortune The new and modern submarine S-5 was two days out of its base in Boston, on its first cruise, when tragedy struck Hill tells in "Under Pressure" has more drama than many fictional ones The skipper spoke to Cooke through the few holes drilled in the sub's hull and signaled another nearby ship to request assistance and tools Cooke, nicknamed "Savvy" because of his ability to solve practical problems, managed during the following few hours to shift the sea water to the bow and stand the ship on its nose, almost vertically Cooke had commissioned S-5 in March 1920 and was familiar with its many complicated mechanisms Hill's 'Under Pressure' Is High on Drama Feb 19, 2:04 PM EST "Under Pressure: The Last Voyage of Submarine S-5" by A Charles M By the time is was closed using emergency measures, the sub had taken in 75 tons of water and sank 180 feet to the ocean floor The angle at which they had to drill and cut was awkward and each quarter-inch hole took about a half-hour to drill The book describes the accidental flooding and sinking of a U By doing so, part of the sub's 240-foot hull protruded from the water's surface Meanwhile, the Alanthus provided air and drinking water for the S-5's crew The problem was still unresolved when S-5 put to sea With the help of the crew and power tools from the passenger-freighter SS General George W The task was almost superhuman: The only available tools were a manual drill and some chisels and hammers Three men had to work inside a compartment the size of a phone booth The SS Alanthus, a tiny tramp ship on its last voyage, sighted the sub's upright stern and approached it Goethals, a large hole was made in the S-5 and its crew was rescued J 3 million, lifting its 12-day total to $97 "The Hours," starring Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore, grossed $326,000 in 11 theaters for a $29,636 average "The Wild
