MAY SAVE THE CURACAG
Notwithstanding the fact that
the Curacao’s stern lies in
eighty feet of water at high
tide, Capt. Harry Pinch the di
ver, who has been looking over
the wreck with Capt. E. C.
Gonereaux for the underwrit
ers, states that he believes the
vessel can be saved. The prob
abilities are that the six hun
dred tons of coal on the ves
sel can be pumped out, bat
that the balance of the cargo
will have to be lifted with the
ship. The chief obstacle is 1hj
extreme steepness of the beach
on which she is resting, which
will make salving her a slow
and expensive proposition. Thft
party will go south on the May
tomorrow night.
