 Her first descent was In Lake Huron, where big wooden barge had gone down, and before the wrecking steamer had reached the spot where the barge had sunk the owner spoke to Miss Baker, regretting the loss of a diamond ring which was in the cabin. Miss Baker immediately offered to recover 1t for him, as she had been planning for some time to make her first descent upon the first favora ble opportunity. When everything was made ready for her to descend her own father manned the compressed air apparatus, which meant life or death to her as she calmly walked down the snip's ladder and without a moments hesitation disappeared under the water.
