FROM THE BAY
QUANTITY WHICH SPILLED FROM
AN OVERTURNED skiFF WAS
FOUND BY DIVER DURING EARLY
PART OF DAY.

Bright and early yesterday morning, a
diver was engaged to go and seek the five
boxes of dynamite which had been spilled
from a skiff and which sank immedia tely
in the narrow slip between Palafox and
Baylen wharves. After reading the
Journals account yesterday morning,
many people went down to the water
front to watch what they thought would
be interesting salvage operations. and,
little thinking OF any element of danger,
some of them stood very near where the
diver was working. One of the men who
lost the dynamite went in boat where
the explosive went down, and thereafter
the diver worked by himself, getting the
whole lost consignment to the surface
in a short time.
