Mine Found
AtHog Key,
Off Marathon
Naval Ordnance
Unit Is Working
Now To Destroy
Canadian Mine

The Key West Naval Base Ord
nance Unit today is on Hog Key
to render harmless the Canadian
mine. which was found floating
off the key, which is near Knights
Key just south of Marathon.
Commander Thomas II. Sud
oath, USN, commanding officer
Of the Ordnance Unit, sent a
special detail of Navy explosive
experts to Hog Key with instruc-
tons to destroy it..
The mine was discovered yes-
ferday afternoon by a man named
Wolfe, who is supported 10 hail
from, Hallandale. and who was
fishing off Hog Key, which is five
miles south of Marathon,
Wolfe Immediately notified
State Highway Patrolman w. Al.
Stevens of Marathon, who got in
touch with the Key West Naval
Base.
IL was known as a Canadian
mine because of the marker on
it's exterior. 1t is. not known
whether the mine contains any
high explosive. but it Is pre- sumcd
it does. The detail that went to
Marathon will conduct its work
on the theory that it does carry
high explosive.
How the mine got down around
Marathon probably never will be
known. Nearly all the Canadian
mines were soWed in the Atlantic
far up the coast of the main
land. Since the Gulf Stream
runs north, the mystery Of the
mine has grown.
It may be, as some one sug.
gesteel that the mine was acct
