Boston, Jan. 21.—Salvage operations on the submarine S-19, stranded on a sandbar at the entrance of the Orleans Harbor on Cape Cod, have been postponed until the return of clear weather, naval officials announced here tonight. Heavy seas kicked up by yesterday’s storm have driven the submarine further onto the bar, it was said.
The naval tug Wandank, which was forced to leave the wrecking fleet yesterday because of the high seas which threatened to drive her ashore, is now at Provincetown awaiting favorable weather before resuming operations. Naval lighters are still standing by the stranded craft.
