anchor becoming fouled with some.
thing so tenacious that no amount Of
winch power could again bring 1t to
the surface.F
Recently an experienced diver was
sent down to investigate the matter,
and on his return he stated that he
found the remains OF clipper ship
200 feet long. He was unable to climb
into her and examine the inside OF the
hull, because II had been turned into
a sort OF vast forcing frame. from
which seaweed had grown TO height
OF SO feet, like . gigantic submarine

There are no records OF any wreck
in the vicinity, but II Is supposed that
the vessel was one arriving In Port

growth of seaweed Is removed the
interior Is to be examined.
