diver, who vas one of the party who
worked at a sunken vessel near Vancou-
Yer Island. tells In paper of Maine how
comfade was EMBODIED by a devil-tish.
de says:
We discovered the old hulk in about
four fathoms. In the crew we're two
half breeds from Mexico, who could stay
under water. 1t seemed to me. about ten
minutes. They were pearl-div0rs from
Panama, and when they went down they
carried heavy stone to sink tseu and
a rope to make fast to anything they
could find.
When the oldest diver slipped over We
could follow hun on the bottom by the
air bubbles. His mate held small life
line that he signalled by. In about
four minutes the signal came. We
drew him up.
He came aboard with jump. and said
that be had hooked on to cask or
box, and that, as soon as he moved II, a
great cloud of mud OR sand arose. as If
some great fish had moved, and, think
ing of sharks, he had come up for his
knife.
de seemed somewhat exhausted. and
the other man said he would go down.
Taking a sharp knife in his mouth, he
was lowered and WAS soon o1t of sight.
After he had been down about five
| minutes, there came pull on the life
line that nearly jerked the skipper over
board.
We pulled and pulled, until it was
| evident that something was wrong, and
| We all gave way hard; and, by the way
II came. We thought the who!e wreck
WAS afoul.
| In half minute We had Pedro's head
| ont of water, but the sight of II almos
made us drop him back into the water
