It may be that San Francisco ehipping men will raise another steamer from the bottom 6i the tropical Pacific. The vessel in this instance is the German gunboat Cormoran, which was blown np by her crew at Guam when war was declared against Germany. The Cormoran was built in Germany for tho Rossian volunteer fleot, had been in service only a few months when war was declared, and was named theßjesan. She was one', cf the first victims of the raidor Emden, and after beinir taken by the Germans was converted into a cruiser herself. Details as to her condition and the depth of water she lies in arn being gathered for the purpose of deciding whether it will be possible to raise her profitably. '
