Paris Can be saved.

ish diver, who returned here last night:
from the Paris takes a very pessimistic.
view of the prospects of saving the.
liner. To the press correspondent he.
said:
Il do not anticipate that the Paris
will ever be tloated. She is pierced by
rocks amidships, her foreholds are
badly damaged, the bulkheads are
practically useless, and even if she
were got off the rocks, l believe she
would sink.
In my opinion the only remedy is a
false bottom. which it would take a
month to complete. and | believe that
even moderately rough weather in the
meantime would break mp the ship"
Everything is in readiness for to-
days effort to refioat the vessel, if tho
weather continues favorable.
