While the diver was below last Thurs

were locked, as was the trunk. The
leather on these was wrinlsled and fur

day the satchels, which were described
by Mrs. Morgan in telegram to Fire
Island, were taken to New York unop-

Wrecking Company. The leather
trunk, which is in much battered con-
dition, is still on board the Rescue.
Among the other articles picked up is.
a large tin case four feet square, filled
with kid gloves. 1t is dented and bat
tered. While the wrecking schooner
was at the wreck the tug crused about
for several miles and took soundings,
keeping small grapple towing astern.
1t was hoped that some flotsam from
the mysterious schooner would be
found, but nothing was seen of her.
Agent Seymour returned to the tug
and will start for the wreck again MS
soon as the weather will permit. This
morning the rain cleared away, but u
heavy sea is beating on Fire Island
beach. The northerly wind now blow

with the schooner in tow, expects to
leave to night. There are three divers
and forty wreckers on board. Nv Sey-
mour says positively that there "ill be
