sistance Ii. she bob5ed about on the
water like a cork. making footing very
uncertain and even unsafe for all on
board. Big waves broke over her bow
and dashed viciously against the win
dows Of the piJot-house. and the Soup

The wreck was located by means of
grapnels at a point west-sou-west from

Navesink Highlands bearing west by

tug was brought to an anchor.
Chief Diver John Rice. assisted by
Tender N. A. Nelson. hurriedly got into
his diving suit and was preparing to
drop over the side when the grapnel
broke away.
