   JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Indonesian searchers have recovered debris
   believed to be from the missing submarine lost in the Bali Sea on
   Wednesday, the country's military chief said Saturday.

   Hopes for the 53 crew members aboard are dwindling, with officials
   saying that their supply of oxygen was expected to have run out early
   Saturday.

   The Indonesian navy chief of staff said a scan had detected the
   submarine at 850 meters, well beyond its survivable limits. The
   submarine, which disappeared as it prepared to conduct a torpedo drill,
   is designed to withstand a depth of up to 500 meters.
