bis requests for settlement grew
more and more pressing. Finally,

and bows, ushered his guest out and

divers also saw at the bottom stat
ues, columns and metal beams, which
they could not get out. Some of these
things were distributed among the
vatican museums, but nearly every
trace of them has disappeared.
. Signor Borghi, while busted with his
excavation of the temple OF Diana,
kept hearing the peasants tell OF the
sunken ship of Tiberius; he heard the
fishermen's stories of their nets catch
ing in the ships, and one day he saw
long beam the fishermn had
dragged from the lake in the palace
of Prince Orsini at Nemi: He made
up his mind to try the venture and
made a contract with the Orsini fam
lily, which owns Lake Nemi. Then he
engaged an experienced diver, bought
boats and machinery and had built
the necessary constructions, derricks
and cranes on the lakeside. He Sc
lected a spot rs fathoms from the
shore. and fathoms south of the
building known as the "tishermen's
hut" for his attempt, and on Oct 8,
1895, began to draw up the objects
which form his collection.
The first bronze brought to the sur
face was the top of a mooring post,
a splendid work of art, a great band
in the cavity Of which was still the
end of the beam to which it had been
attached. More than third of the
surface bears in relief a beautiful
lions head, holding in it's teeth ring
held out horizontally. The workman
ship points clearly to the first century
Of the empire.
In the days following many other
important objects were drawn up.
Chief among them were four bronze
heads of animals with square bases,
being the ornamental: ends Of beams;
one of these represents VOLTS head,
larger than life, with a ring hanging
from the Jaws: another the head of
hyena; two others, lions heads, all
with mooring rings attached to them.
Another extremely beautiful bronze
is a. head of Medusa, which was prob
ably attached to the stern, and to
which time has given magnificent
patina. r .t-f
AS the fisherman reported that
there was another ship in the lake
close. to the point called the Rock of
Germanicus,'' about seventy-fve faith
oms from the shore and 1890 feet to
the south of the first ship, Signor
Bcrghi. determined to examine the
place. Soon the diver reported that
there was a ship there, at a depth OF
sixty-two feet, and brought up two
beams fastened together by iron rails
and bands, held apart at a distance of
nine feet. Then lot of wood of va
rious sorts, and beams held together
with iron or copper nails, were raised
to the surface.
Besides these things the second
ship yielded bits Of marble and other
parts of mosaic pavement, part OF,
a little bronze column and some cop
per rlates like those from the first
ship. Further plaque with a female
figure on it in archaic style, bar Of
bronze very well preserved and three
and three-quarter feet long, and, most
Important Of all, beamtsad Of
