A Ship Found in California Dsset.

A Ship Found in California Dsset.
BY many 1t has been held ~ theory
that the Yuma desert was once an ocean
bed. At intervals pools Of salt water
have stood for awhile In the midst OF
the surrounding waste ofsand, disappear
ing only to rise again In the same or
other localities. A short time since one
of these saline lakes disappeared,
and y party Of Indians reported the
discovery Of 'big ship" left by tho
receding waves. A party Of Americans
at once proceeded to the spot, and found
embedded in the sands the wreck ofa
large vessel. Nearly one third Of tho
forward parts of the ship or bark is plain
~ visible. The stump Of the bowsprit
remains and portions Of the timbers Of
the teak are perfect. The wreck II
located forty miles north Of the San
Bernardino and Fort Yuma road, and
thirty miles west Of Los Palmos, a well
known watering place on the desert,
The road across the desert has been
travelled for more than ono hundred
years. The history of the ill-fated ves-
sci can, of course, never be known, but
the discovery of its decaying timbsrs Ia

reliability.
