bodies that remained in the hold and
records of the ship were secured. but
the effort to raise the vessel was absn-
doned.
Just what the attitude of the Amer
ican Government may be towards a
proposition to raise the vessel is not
known. Heretofore 1t has been held
that Congress alone has the authority
to say what may be done with the
wreck, and that no executive derart-
ment of the Government could aban-
don the Governments claim TO the ves-
sci.
Presumably, therefore. whatever may
be, done in the matter will require the

ment.
