CHRIsTIANsEN Is FAKALYzED.
Continued Work In Deep Water Prove
Too Much for Him.

Too Much for Him.
Diver Chris Hansen was taken ashore
from his scow yesterday and carried to his
home on Jackson street in the patrol
wagon. The result Of his continued deep
sea diving is paralysis OF the entire body
below the shoulders. He has slight use Of
one arm, but the other arm and his legs
are helpless. The paralysis does not ex-
tend to the muscles of the throat and he
can articulate as well as ever.
After descending six times on Wednes-
day he went down the seventh time,
although complaining Of not feeling well.
He did his work and came to the surface
as usual, climbed up the ladder to the
scow, had his face plate removed as usual
and sat down. While his assistants were
removing the weights from his feet and
waist he fell back helpless. He did not
lose consciousness. His assistants worked
for several hours on him before calling a
physician. DR.. II. 4. Merkel was then
called and worked on the patient for sew
eral hours, using galvanic battery to re-
store animation to the limbs.
DR.. Merkel says he thinks the paralysis
is the result of the pressure at the bottom
OF the harbor. and does not know the
probabilities of the case. He has attended
paralysis in miners working constantly
below the surface, bat they generally re-
covered in few days. He does not know
how it will effect the diver but thinks
Christ ansen overdid it by going down too
often in a short time.
Capt. Benjamin thinks that Christensen
was too anxious TO continue his work be-
low, and that he got into positions in
which he breathed the air over and over
again, but neglected to change position, as
he was anxious to get his work DONE He
says further that If Christensen has line
under the rudder post of the Mystic the
tug can be raised without his going down
again
