It is officially stated that 1 at dusk on Tuesday, November 5, an overseas steamer paaeeti a floating mine about twenty miles off the coast, somewhere between Farewell Spit lighthouse and Cape Farewell. Until recently there were hopes that it would be possible to refloat the Lusitania, ivhich for two years has lain under 800 ft of water, about twenty miles from the Old Head of Kinaale. A London paper of September 8 says salvage experts nave come to the conclusion that, even if successful, the effort would not be worth the cost, ana the proposal has been abandoned. Erpossd for such a long time to the Atlantic swell, it is probable that the vessel's back is broken by now; but, 60 far, no diver has gono down to ; investigate, nor is such a survey thought likely. It is possible, however, that an attempt may yet be made to recover the specie which is known to be locked in the purser's cabin, on the upper deck.
