SALVAGE UNLIKELY
THE STRANDED CELTIC CARGO MAY BE JETTISONED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.! LONDON, Dec. 12. Salvage experts express little hope of refloating the Celtic. They say that if she had missed the rocks by only her own width, she would have been unscathed, but she struck under the engine-room. There is a rock through her like a pinnacle. There is now 25ft. of water in tlio engine-room, and the stokehold is flooded. The cargo probably will be thrown overboard. < A pathetic lonely figure in his cabin is the commander, who has been calling at Queenstown for 30 years without an accident.
