St. James was dropped into the York initijitf'i-l atnl 1 Co- facing the tot ji I sea by an earthquake in 1680. St Kitts' Island was then known as Nevis. Plans for the expedition were revealed at Tampa yesterday, after Captain Hall had offered use of the helium diving suits to the navy for rescue work on the sunken submarine, Squalus, off Portsmouth, N.

H. Captain Hall said that one of the divers who will accompany him, Max Gene Nohl, has been down 420 feet in one of the suits, which contains a supply of helium and oxygen and requires no life line to compressed air machines on deck. A cable, attached, contains a small telephone wire for communication. Mr. Murdock will go with the expedition only as an observer, not taking part in the divinar research work.
