Divers Rnn1ances.

The wonderful account of the sights seen by the
diver who went down to the wreck of the steamer
Atlantic, in Lake Erie, is thus disposed of by cor.
respondent who writes by authority of the owners of
the boat
"The Atlantic did not sink Immediately after the
collision, but her stern remained above water some
six hours, till the passengers the upper deck
saved by The propeller, and some furniture was
removed from between decks, by a schooner, some
hours afterward. The idea that objects were seen
with much minuteness in her cabin is simply alb
sub. NJ Malefort had invented lamp, to be used
by Green, the diver, below the surface, but he was
never able 10 put it in operation 1t should be re-
'blackness of Darkness and the only Way the diver
was able to accomplish anything was through the
sense of feeling.
Having diagram of the steamer, and the safe
being in the statero0m adjoining the whee-house, ii
was easily found. In the cabin everything is des.
cribed as remaining untouched by decay, and to all
appearance if arranged by some careful and taste
full hand No diver ever entered to cabin. The
peril of going down perpendiculary to the deck where
the safe stood enough, without any attempt to
enter the cabin where, if the slightest enanglement
of the air tube had occurred, it would have resulted
in instant DEATH shows the absurdity of the state
ment. But aside from the darkness at the depth Of
100 feet, the divers have uniformly stated that
every thing covered to the depth of some inches
with mud or sand. Such an accumulation of soil,
over and inside this vast steamer, was one of the
serious obstacles TO raising her, which was attempted
in vain. Had the bodies been as represented, they
would have 1oated to the surface and it they could
have been seen, which utterly impossible, they
would have been found coated by the of deposit
which had been accumulated in every part of the
steamer. If the diver communicated facts the
statement published by the Detroit AdUertiScr it is
gross and wanton mposition.n
