SPETH 826 Broad Street * Sales Tickets Good For Ten Votes For Each Cent Paid water —greater depth than that at which the Empress of Ireland is ly ing—off Point Gando, Grand Canary. Silver Bars. $50,000 worth of silver bars —ali but six that were on board —recovered from the Skyro, wrecked'in 323 fa thoms of water off Cape Finisterre. "In the ease of Alpnonso XII, the difficulties were very great’,’ Mr. Davis said, ’’and our diver, Alexander Lambert, had to use dynamite to re move innumerable obstructions be fore he could get to the magazine in which the treasure was stored. “Dynamite had also to be used in the operations for salving the silver bars of the Skyro, and when the work was finished, the, vessel was just a heap of scrap iron." The Empress of Ireland is said to be lying or. her side in seventeen fathoms —102 feet of water. Abnormal Pressure. “At this depth,’’ Mr. Davis said, “a man cannot remain sa.ely for a longer time than thirty or forty min utes. He would have to allow him self, moreover, about half nn hour to get on the surface, the ascent from the depth a painfully slow business. "When a mail works at these sub marine depths he is subject to an abnormal pressure which is increased bv 4 1-2 pounds for every ten feet he goes down. At work beneath fath oms of water his blood and tissues become saturated with nitrogen. “For this reason he has to be most careful in ascending to the surface, lor otherwise a sort of effervescence would be set up in the blood vessels and cause paralysis. 'There is no difficulty in geting divers for salvage operations. Most of our men are ex-British navy divers, who are without doubt the most scientifically trained in the world. “For his work in salving the pese tas from the wreck of the Alphonso XII Alexander Lambert received 5 ler cent of the treasure recovered, $17,500. in addition to bis pay of $250 a month.
