TUG NICOL'S HULL IS INTACT,
She Does Not Leak, and VIII He
Repaired in Short Order.

Looking like a waif deserted by those
who should care for 1t. the hull Of the
wrecked tug James ID. Nicol, which
went down off the Highlands of Nsve-
sink June "A last, was towed from
Wards dock, Astoria. to the foot Of
Twentieth street, South Brooklyn. this
morning, where she will undergo repairs.
AS related in THE Evening World"
yesterday, the Nicol was raised from
the bottom Of the sea at l o'clock yes
terday afternoon by the wrecking float
Reliance, Capt. Kivlin, OF the Chapman
Derrick and Wrecking Company.
This was not accomplished without
difficulty. Although the Nicol was forty
feet under water, the divers who went
down to put chains under her found
such heavy swell that they could hard
~ remain IN an upright position; and
The appearance Of the !Nicol above
the surface was witnessed In silence.
The. wreckers, used as they are to such
work could not, but think Of the Jolly
crowd who had last peopled the deck Of
the tug.

which the happy fishing crowd sat when
their end came. Washing about In the
water were coats. tin pals, fish baskets.
There were at least dozen bottles OF
beer bobbing about the deck. Most sig

ened In such a position that 1t was ai-
most the first thing noticed when the
Nicol came up. 1t read: Good night.
Pleasant Dreams"
AS the sea was too rough to pump her
out, she was towed UP to Fort Hamil-
ton, where the water was pumped out.
The hull then hoated as buoyantly as
ever. She does not leak, and can be re-
paired very quickly. Her boiler and en-
CINE, although covered with rust. are In
good condition.
A peculiar heart-shaped pin Of blue
enamel, crossed with battle-aXes and
swords, and two ten-cent pieces were
found in her, but there were no bodies
