Two months ago the wreck of the steamer Pewabic, which was sunk in 1865 in Lake Huron, Off Alpena. Mich. was located. Since then an insurance company .which paid $61,000 on the loss of the copper with Which the vessel was loaded, has been negotiating with a wreckng firm for the recovery of as much of the cargo as is practicable. The depth of the water made div- ing Operations impossible. as no diver can work with safety at a depth of 160 feet. It became necessary, there- Lore, for any wrecking concern that would take hold of it to construct a special diving apparatus, strong and safe enough to withstand the pres- sure of water at such a depth. Wor- den G. Smith, of Milwaukee, invented a diving bell and organized a com- pany to raise the cargo, and the apâ€" paratus has been at work for several weeks. \V bile in the vicimty Mr. J. S. Gadsden, agent of the insmance company had the exlzerience of seeing a. charge of dynamite placed in the vessel anl fired off by electricity. “When we were about twenty feet below the water's surface,” said Mr. Gadsden. ‘in relating his experience in we got down deeper the overhead pres- the diving bell. “there was aslight leak at the edges of the cover. but” sure was so great that it was Sealed tight, and not a drop came through.
