Blasting the Ship.

Ocean City, N. j.. Sept. AL
though the ship Sindia has been
beaten by sea waves off shore here
since December 15, 1901, there are
still 1910 packages of valuable Jap
anese silks and novelty goods in the
big wreck that have not been re-
moved. Workmen are now engaged
in dynamiting the sides in order to
recover this cargo.
Hundreds of dollars worth of goods
have been removed and it was thought
there was nothing left but the
wrecked vessel. A recent investiga-
tion by divers shows that there is q
large quantity of goods intact.
The Sindia was captained by Allen
McKensie and bound from Japan to
New York with a cargo of camphor
oil, Japanese silks, mattings and nov
city goods, when she was grounded.
The boat has stood we'll the beating
of the sea. and it is now the center of
curiosity to Ocean City visitors. Re-
gardless of the peril, swimmers de-
light in swimming around the boat.
