turned to Leghorn. The mission OF
the divers In Greece was to seek for
Roman galley sank near Cargo and
the vessels of Turko-Egyptian fleet
which sank in the battle of Navarino
The chief Of the divers states that
the Roman galley was found at a
depth OF so meters. All that remains
OF the vessels Is the hull, which is As
meters long. In 1t the diver found IL
amphora OF classic form, which, In
the opinion of archaeologists, dated
from five centuries before Christ.
The galley is buried under a mass
OF mud. 1t is probable that In the
interior bronze statues will be found
similar to those brought to the sur
face by Greek divers, but to get rid
OF the mud 1t will be necessary to put
special machinery in operation. This
VIII be constructed In Italy.
At Navarino they found 16 OF the
" ships that were sunk during the
battle. These lie at depth of 3s
meters, and are buried under four
meters Of mud. The same machinery
Will be necessary to uncover them.
The chief diver is of the opinion

work should be suspended till next
spring. As soon as he arrives here
the chief diver was asked to go at
once to Cape Palos to attempt the
salvage Of the italian steamer Sirio.
