Diver Rice then desired to have his

| At Diver Rice's request, Capt. De Noy-
Giles moved the Assistance to the west
ward of the sunken wreck, a quarter OF
a mile further in shore. Here the anchor
was again heaved and Rice prepared for
his third descent.

the full limit of the lifeline, and then
| For brief spell air bubbles came to
the surface in one spot. and it was thus
demonstrated to the watchers that the
diver had come to a stand. Tender Mel

purpose. Rice remained stationary only
few minutes, however. and then the
moving trail of air bubbles told the
watchers that he had resumed his jour

The diver completed a circuit at the

the circle as If to fix 1t.
