GRIM RELICS
GERMAN BATTLESHIP LONDON, June 5. Salvagers surveying the enginerooms of the Von Moltk.o, one of the sunken German battleships, 70ft. under the sen, says the Stromuess (Orkney Islands, Scotland) correspondent of the Daily Mail, found n cat-o'-nine-tails of leather with 14-inch thongs. 11l the stokehold were half-made toys, including a kettle-drum and a spring gun, and elsewhere a German newspaper, still legible after eight years' immersion, which was packed ill a hamper with a complete dinner service, now being used. The salvagers worked in an 80foot space between bunkers, in which the compressed air enabled them to smoke, talk, and use acetylene cutters.
[The Von Moltke was raised a few days ago.]
