When he bacame convalescent he made in- quiries whether the bodies of his relations were found.

He came across the ocean, and at once went to Penzance, where at last he gained the certainty that neither of the three corpes had been discovered. |here- | upon he employed two experienced divers,

of the vessel were seen, yet nobody could be observed. But one dayas the three men were silently moving sbout among sharp-pointed crags and reefs, and being a considerable distance away from the wreck itself, Franz Hauser, was startled by the sight of what appeared as the head of a female form. It seemed to hang from the top of a reef some ten feet high. He directed the attention of others by pointing toward it. Slowly the three stepped fors ward in the direction ofthe reef Near the spota PITIFUL AND HKART-RENDING SCENE

The corpse was firmly held | in the clutches of a gigantic cuttle-fish, which with ite enormous arms and extend- ed suckers, clung to it and to the side of the rock like a wild beast feasting on its | prey. The sight, say t'e two surviving divers, was shocking, yet awe inspiring.
