DETROIT'S GIRL DIVER.
Laid Up Comfortable Fortune by Her
Calling-Eer Father is Captain
of Divers.

Detroit's girl diver, Miss Frances
Baker, is regarded as prote9e by ali
the sailors Of the Great Lakes, says
a Detroit dispatch to the New York
World. She is twenty-one years OF
age and has laid up a comfortable
bank account by following her haz-
ardous calling. Her first professional
work was when she raised $4,000
worth Of copper from the ship ". H..
Stevens. which sank in eighty feet of
water in Lake Erie several years
ago.
Miss Bakers father, Capt. H. V.
Baker, was a captain Of divers, and
from the first time she was allowed to
60 down to the river alone. she used
to watch her fathers wrecking ship
leave the dock and longed to go with
him. The ambition to become a div
er natured in her as she grew older,
and she deplored the fate which had
condemned her to be a girl.
At last her desire to become diver
overcame the objection Of her friends,
and she began making wrecklng trips
with her father, and soon became his
inspearable companion. She made a
study Of the machinery connected
with diving, and in time learned to
command the w:ucking boat with
great skill and assurance.
Her first descent was in Lake HUI
ron, where a bic 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. re@rettin2 tie !"ss OF

Mis- Baker Immediately offered to
recover it for him, as she had 5ccn
planning for some time to make her
first descent upon the first favorable
oppcrtunitv. When everything was
made ready fer her to descend. her
own father manned the compressed
air apparatus, which meant life or
death to her, as she calmly walked
down the ships ladder and without a
moments hesitation disappeared un-
der the water.
In describing the sensations Of the
initial trip she said that the feeling
at the outset was as if some great
crc3ture with a thousand arms was
pressing her "entlv but firmly on all
sides, and as if in a few minutes her

breath would be cut off entirely, but
she WAS far from frightened. and COLL
;inued ;ler descent until the shadow
OF the SunkeM barge luomed up be-
fore her. She had 4 strange feeling
OF buoyaNcy and the twenty pounds
Of lead attached to her feet seemed
no heavier than leather soles as she
followed her companion to the walls
Of the sunken ship, and with his aid,
climbed over them.
At this point she experienced severe
pains in her head and felt as if her
nose was going to bleed, but, still uI-
daunted, she reached the cabin Of the
barge, where she entered, and, with
the aid Of the electric light at her belt.
sought out the corner Of the cabin
which contained small stand, upon
which was the tiny box containing the
much desired diamond ring.
In her haste 10 reach it she stum-
bled and fell, and for the moment
was consumed by terrible fear, as
the pressure Of the water, together
with breathing the compressed air,
had now become almost overpowering,
but she quickly gained her self-con-
troll. and with the box in her and re-
turned to the deck of the wrecker.
As reward for this exploit Miss
Baker was presented with the dia-
mond ring she had recovered, and it is
now in her possession.
The ring marked the beginning Of
her fortune, as she had proved that
she could live under the water, and
to be able to do this means that &
person is worth anywhere from $50
to 5000 day to wrecking company.
AS ninety-nine out Of every one hum
dred men who descend into the Wa
ters Of the lakes will in a few minutes
begin to suffer frcm bic ling at the
nose, head-splitting pains, and suffo-
cation, that is why all good divers
from one end Of the Great Lakes to
the other may be counted on ones
fingers and toes.
