Th Diver Wa Pinned Beneath Wreekaae With Plfty rt of Water Above Pelt the Water tlreeplng trader HI Armor, ftach Moment aa KterBlry. Captain Charles Smith of Bridgeport, Conn., who had thrilling struggle with death 60 feet tinder water the oth er day, told the story of his experience today. The captain is well known diver, and while working on the sunken hull of tbe Clara Post become oaoght in the rigging and narrowly escaped with his life. "The wreck lay quite deep deeper than I usually care to go, although I have been down 16 fathoms," said the captain. "After the masts went by the board and tbe deck was torn off by the waves the cross timbers were strewed with the wreckage, and many were sus pend nd over the decks and into the hold. I cut them away on tbe starboard aide and then crossed over, doing the same. Then in some way some of the tangled mass slewed over and fell partially into the hold and I waa canght with it and held fast. Yon oannot see very far in such a depth of water, and when I found myself pinned in, how I could not tell, I jerked the life line three times, which is the signal to rise. I felt myself rising a few feet, and then all the wreckage fell in upon me and ev erything came to a standstill. I Jerked the life line repeatedly, bnt there wa no response. I tried to move, bnt found the air pipe waa somehow canght o thai any movement shot off the current of air. It was an awful moment, and it seemed eternity to me. "In tbe meantime those on tbe wreck ing ship were wondering what bad hap pened. It seemed to them as though the signals to haul np were qnlokly follow ed by others to lower, and then by one to stop. Tbe man at the lifeline became confused at these oon trad iotory orders, and hoping to take a safe course ordered the derrick to haul on tbe blocks. Noth ing yielded to the strain, although the wrecking ship careened greatly. The men at the pumps worked for dear life, until they were exhausted and bad to be relieved. Still no signs of release. "All this while I was wondering," continued the oaptain, "why I was not banled np, when I came to the oonoln lon that my lifeline bad certainly been fonled when the wreckage shifted and that my signals were not properly sent op. It had now become black as night in the water. I bad ont a small bole in the valve of my right band rubber glove by catching bold of some Iron bolts, and the water bad oome in and filled the glove full, exerting a terribly painful pressure on my band, and waa slowly oozing past the damps at my wrist and had reached my elbow. It seemed to me in that mass whioh waa moving by the tide that I wonld soon be hopelessly crushed by the wreokage. I found my self beooming confused through tbe great ir pressure in my helmet, and I bad about concluded that I shonld never dear myself, when suddenly tbe wreck age gave lurch, and I found I oould climb np to one of tbe deck timber. Grasping my ax, I cot away at my feet, bnt some iron stay were in tbe way. Aa I hung there it seemed lifetime, when again the tide favored me, and I began working desperately. "Suddenly the whole mas broke away and began to rise rapidly, and I beoaine so entangled that I was actually beld head downward, as I waa carried np. It seemed another eternity before I reached the surface. When I came np, the men at first did not suppose I waa there, as there waa snob a mass of tan gled material, and their surprise yon can imagine wben I shot op through tbe wreckage, feet first When I wa banled upon deck and my helmet opened, it seemed as though my eye were on fire, so terribly did they bum from the les sened air pressure. "It was,"oonolnded tbe captain, "the closest call to death' door that I ever bad, and I have peeped through it key hole pretty often, I assure yon. " Captain Smith Is a powerful six foot er, 40 years of age, and ha followed hi dangerous calling some 18 year.
