SUBMERGED ROCKS. The proposal of the New Plymouth Harbor "Board to sweep the entrance to the harbor and locate any uncharted submerged locks should they exist is one that "will find favor with mariners.

The shipmaster, if his ship is double-bottomed throughout, scorches for a dry dock; if the double-bottom is interrupted by a single-bottom section, and that section has sustained the puncture, be steams for the nearest beach. Passengers, crew, mails, baggage, etc., in order of value, may or may not Ir salvaged —on that depends the interest attaching to'the wreck.
