Miller, a well-known diver, is one of tb© principal members of the syndicate. The terms of the tender, it is 1 said, are that the salvors w vill recenve about three-quarters of whatever is saved from th«- vessel. The sea is gradually accomplishing its work of destruction. All the cabin doors on the starboard side have been ©tovo in, s,nd the sea has started to rip off the hatches. Waves are to be se*en washing up on the deck, and then finding their way down tho hatchways into the holds.
