London, Oct. 2.-The Daily Graphic
says the wreck of the Russian iron
clad Rousalka, which was lost in the
baltic Sea last year, was found on
September 10 south Of the Islet Of
Wastertoken, Finland. The wreck
lies in twenty fathoms Of water. A
diver who went down and examined
the hull reports he found great hole
in the stern. Appearances indicate
that the Rousalka struck a reef and
stove her hull, and then slid off the
reef into deep water. She had on
board Il officers and 166 men. A
wrecking crew has begun operations
with view of raising the vessel, but
little hopes are entertained that it will
succeed.
