BROTHER JONATHAN REPORTED
TO BE FOUND.

San Francisco. Feb. S.--If the story
told by John Il. Ryan, submarine
diver, is true, the i'll starred steamer,
Brother Jonathan has at last been
fo1nl after being almost thirty years
at the bottom of the sea.
This brother Jolinathani was lost
July ;. 1863, about tel miles north
west Of Crescent City with 147 pas
sengcrs and the crew. Three millions
il dozen parties have sought systemau-
cally for the sunkcn hull.
Mr. Ryan tells the following story
Of his discovery of the wreck, which
is substantiatcd by his producing the
ships bracket bearing the name
Brother Jonathan" in brass letters.
which he picked up on the deck of the
wreck:
Several years ago, while captain
of Il steamer running on Puget Sound,
an old man named G.. w. Hill told me
he could take me TO the scene of the
wreck and vas sure he could locate
the exact spot where she went down,
n Jew llloHlIS dSo III tdnI' W hi'
again and | accepted his offer.
"After arriving in the vicinity where
the ship went down, we located her
i'm remarkably short time in several
hundred feet of water. / went down
to the vessel, walked across her deck
and all around her There was not
light enough for me to see at all and
l had to feel my way everywhere.
apparently the Brother Jonathan,
is in excellent condition and / have
hope Of raising her. From what L
learn, the gold in the ship Is locked
up in different parts Of the vessel,
and, with the aid Of light, ! anticipate
no difficulty in locating it. In the
spring 1 shall make preparation and
recover the lost treasure"
