JUNGLE OF MARINE GROWTHS
DELAY SALVAGE WORK AT SCAPA FLOW (United Service.) London, September 2. Divers descending to the upturned bottom of the 24,000-ton German battleship Kaiser at Scapa Flow to begin salvage operations encountered a six-foot jungle of marine growths extending the ship's 5G5 feet of length and 95 of width. In it lurk all manner of denizens of the deep. Portions of the growth are as thick as a man's wrist, and the divers found it was dangerous and almost impossible to proceed until tracks were cut. _ A diver states that it was like a pitch dark night when they groped among the growths' towering above their heads.
