Treasures From The Deep.

Our bay swarms with the tinev dcni- zens and of lat., the toothsome cod rise in serene majesty under the persuasion of stout lines and busy fingers.
 On "Wednesday last the waters yield ed up d supplemental treasure in three barrels of pork and kedge anchor, relics of the unfortunate BriXham. brought up on d small boat which swamped ut the landing slip of the Mckinnon wharf. a day or two ago.
 Mr. Andrew w. ,Iohnsen, d diver with + years experience. panopied in that multifarious and incongruous thing yclept. d divers suit, sunk gracefully into the drink and exhumed the pork and the iron emblem of hope. in the course of an hour. He did not hand up any submarine boquets. Canadian currency or gold bracelets. He saw no mermaids as they had gone to Cotton wood island to hold d potlatch.
 Mr. Johnsen is a clear headed. prac- tical man whose experience would in- terest the reader had We the space to tell them. He is equipped with mach inery for raising wrecked vessels and is in a position at short notice to re- spOnd to a call of that character when- ever an exegency demands it.
 Quite a crowd gathered on the wharf | f

It was Mr. Lewis last request that the masons bury him. and while there is no regular lodge of masons in Wrangel. but we trust there soon will be. the brothers got together on Satur- day. in the Journal office. and decided to carry out brother Lewis request. T. A. Willson acting as master and MT. Bennett as chaplain. they met at the courthouse on Sunday morning and escorted the body to the opera house where the services were conducted On the coffin were placed his apron, the American flag and beautiful wreath of chrysanthemums. After the services large number of old-time friends fol- lowed the procession to the wharf where the body was then taken by boat to the cemetery.
