sen about eight months ago, and they
were married last Tuesday, six days
after her divorce from Edward p.
Kicker, IT,, OF Poland Spring, Me-,
wealthy resort owner, became absolute.
Kicker sued for and obtained the di-
vorce. Mrs. Kicker did not contest the
suit.
Her keen interest in Nansen's work in
plotting the vast Canadian North Woods
was reciprocated by his admiration for
her achievements as dog-sled racer
and writer.
Mrs. Nansen, probably the best known
woman dog-sled racer in the world.
broke the record for the 25-mile course
at Poland Spring in 1880, defeating
Leonard Seppala by 80 seconds. A ma
tive of Providence, r. l., she was mar
ried to Edward p. Kicker, jr.. in 1922.
She has written several stories based
on dog-sled racing, including "Togo's
Fireside Reflections" tale woven
around Seppala's famous dash in 1928
with antitoxin to diphtheria- stricken
Nome, Alaska.
Nansen is the eldest son Of the Arctic
explorer, who died in 1880. The couple
will spend part of their honeymoon in
Norway, where Mrs. hansen will devote
some time TO practicing for dog-sled
races she plans to enter in 1882.

ISLAN DER COLD SALv WAGE WORK
 TO START AGAIN
New Equipment L Leave e s Seattle Friday, Opera
 tions Being in October

Efforts to recover the gold on the treasure steamship Islander, which sank off the southern end of Douglas Island 30 years ago, will be renewed early in October, ac- cording to advices received in Ju- neau from Seattle. Additional sal wage equipment, in the form of a barge and cable, is scheduled to leave Puget Sound next Friday for the scene of the wreck. If present plans prove successful the wealth of the sunken craft will be re- covered before the end of the year.
 The salvage work will be under taken by the Curtis-Wiley Marine Salvors, Inc, organized in Seattle last spring and capitalized at $500,- GOO.
 The company officers, all resi- dents of Seattle, are:
 Frank Curtis, president; Peter Gjarde, contractor, vice president; A. E. Hansen, engineer of Isaac son Iron Works, vice president; P. c. MacRae, gene contractor, treasurer; Robert Gillespie, presi- dent of the Mill and Mine Supply Company, chairman of the board of directors; L Williams of Will liams and Severyns, counsel.

bought the barge GriIison from James Griffiths x Sons of Seattle The Griffson, now at the plant of the Commercial Boiler Works in Seattle, is a vessel of 2,140 net, 2,259 gross and 4,200 deadweight tons. She is equipped with 40 winches, 20 on each side. They will each be of 100 tons capacity and will be operated by hand power The vessel will carry 10000 feet of cable, including 19,000 feet of one and one-half blow steel line.
 Raised By Cables
 Divers will place the cables un- der the sunken ship. They will be frightened at low water and as the tide raises the sunken Islander will be raised from the floor Of the sea. Then the barge with the Is- lander lashed beneath, will be moved shoreward and the wreck finally beached. There is an 18-foot tide in the channel where the Is- lander sank, which will be Of much assistance to the saivors.
 We expect to leave Seattle Sep tember 25 for Juneau with our new salvage outfit and be on the job early in October" MT. Curtis IS quoted as saying by The Seattle Times in it's issue last Sunday. The tug Seal will tow the Griffson to the scene of the wreck Two deep-sea divers, Capt. C. A. Hayes and Russell Clithero will do the underwater work
 "The great depth at which the Islander is lying makes diving in ordinary diving equipment impos- sible, because of the pressure of the water, so we will use the Wiley diving bell, the invention of Carl Wiley of Olympia. It is from 40 to 48 inches in diameter and shap- ed like huge egg. In it is room for man to sit up, his head pro- truding through an opening in the top over which is clamped a divers helmet, with four glass portholes, two inches thick.
 Arm of Steel
 Extending siN feet from the bell is slender arm of steel on the end of which are five claws manip- ulated as is the arm, by levers on the inside of the bell. A wire oper- ated by gears, manipulated from the inside swings the arm and op- ems and closes the claws. The arm is capable of lifting weight of 400 pounds"
 The Islander, bound from Skag- way to Seattle with miners and gold from the Klondike, is believed to have collided with an iceberg. She was lost August 15, 1901. Sev- enty-two of her passengers were drowned Her treasure is estimated at $3,000,0O0 She lies 365 feet be- meath the surface of the sea.
 Divers in the past few years have penetrated the wreck, and from passenger cabins have recovered gold dust and jewels worth several thousand dollars; but the ships strong boxes have not been locat- ed.
 Other Treasure Ships
 If the Islander is beached and her riches are recovered, the Cur tis-Wiley Company plans to at tempt to salvage other sunken treasure ships. MT. Curtis men, toned two of them.
 The Brother Jonathan sank off St. Georges Reef while bound from San Francisco to Portland with $2,5O0,OOO aboard" he said. The steamship Golden Gate lies off the Pacific Coast of Mexico with between $2,5O0,O0O and $3,000,- 900 aboard. We could tackle either of these jobs and might recover the treasure"

From Seattle they will go to Nor
