and the nurse, Mrs. Hartly, were the
only ones who were made ill.

marine boat Lutin. which left Bizetta,

floating the Lutin in time to save the lives

was refoated all the crew were dead.

the greatest promptness. After consulta-
tion with several naval officers he con-
ceived the plan Of trying to get heavy
chains from the forts at Bizerta under the
hull of the Lutn and thus lifting It from
the bottom. But II Is feared that the tugs
and other vessels or the spot may not he
equal to the task and the marine minister
therefore, has ordered two powerful sal
