To an ob seryer the bed plates are the most se curely1 fastened piece of iron on the ship, bolts not more than a quarter of an inch apart running around the entire plates , The idea flashed into the minds of the searchers that there were' too many bolts for practical use, and an examina tion could result in no loss. Into the dirty, greasy apartment the necessary tools were carried, and tne work was commenced. Tho plates looked solid but their true use was soon made known when it was found impossible to turn one of the bolts, and tneir . seemed no way of getting it off, A cold chisel was brought into Use, ' and the plato; was soon in the hands of the searchers, and in tho receptaal .ftfiy-two five-tael boxes A Mighty Wave Sweeps Down an .Ohio .Valley. ;. .' ; WRECKING MLI.
