TWO THE EASTERN REFLECTOR, GREENVILLE, N. C. IN FIFTEEN FATHOMS 1903. by C. B. We had gone to Bird Island. In the sea, In the trading brig Hope to fish for pearl oysters. One day a were dragging the bottom In fifteen fathoms we came across what we be- to be a sunken hulk. The spot about three miles off the Our divers could not descend to such a depth to make an Inspection, and after days spent in preparing tackle we ailed the brig out and near the spot. It was three days before we got the breeze from the right quarter, but when it came we threw over our drag and sailed over the wreck. The caught her. and the ropes and chains stood the strain. We piled sail on the brig, but for ten minutes she heaved and tugged and was held fast. Something had to give as the breeze freshened, and, to our great Joy, the hulk was pulled out of her sandy bed and towed along the bottom behind us. We got her into thirty feet of water and within two cable's length of the beach and anchored The pearl divers then went down to make an ex- They reported her to be the hulk of an Arabian dhow which must have been in collision with an- other craft, as she was staved In on the port quarter. What we wanted to get our find on the beach was a breeze from the north- west. It came after nearly a week of waiting, and the combined efforts of wind, current and tide brought the old hulk in high She was one of the most curious sights a sailor ever clapped eyes on. From stem to tern she was a solid mass of shells. She was about ninety feet long, and when we came to dig down to the wood we found it almost as hard as Iron. She had been rigged with two masts, the stumps of which stood up eight feet high. A few feet of remained on either bow, but the rest of the deck bad been swept clean. Our grapnels had caught In the hole which sunk her. else they would not ; have caught all owing to the solid layer of shells. If we had been supplied with powder we should have blown her up, but as we none we had to do some bard Work with pick and shovel. The in- seemed to be a solid cake of mud and sand, but we did not remove , much of it until we bad cleared the outside. After she had lain in the hot for three or four days she began to dry out, the work of digging off the shells was much easier. There were six distinct on her deck, and mixed with the bot- tom one we found three Arabian words, two or three ancient muskets and a couple of axes. The divers given it us their Ion she been run Into, but when we came to make a closer in- of the holes in her quarter we ; concluded e bail been struck by a shell from some man-of-war. It had sent her to the bottom us quick as if she had been run Into by u thou- sand ton ship. During the week we were freeing the hulk from her shell ; armor a close watch was kept on the beach, and we picked up coins to the value of about American money. Some of these were Arabian and some Persian. When we bad entirely cleared the i decks we found the craft had only one hatchway, and that was amidships. We enlarged this and then rigged up a windlass and bucket to empty her as dirt is taken from a well. Every buck- was carefully Inspected as soon as dumped, but we found nothing more valuable than shells until well down to her keel. We couldn't make out what of cargo she carried until the els began to throw out human bones long with the sand. With the bones came iron and other outfit- tings of a slaver, and by by we got down fur enough to that she had been fitted for a deck and thus enabled to carry a double tier of slaves In a hold only six feet deep. We dug out of her old bones enough to account for at least fifty persons, and a who afterward examined some of them said they belonged to men and women of the race. In the fore- castle we found nothing except a of gun barrels and two earthen bowls, but In the cabin we had better luck. In the last dirt we took out we found coins to the value of These were scattered about on the floor. Many had worked out and come ashore, and many were doubtless burled Id the Bands beyond recovery. We found a number of muskets and swords in the cabin, but as no bones were found there or In the forecastle we argued that the crew must have away In a II boat . Six months later when we told our story at Cape Town we were referred to history to prove that the dhow had been fired on and sunk by H. M. S. Sovereign while forming one of the fleet to suppress the slave trade. The dhow had loaded part of a cargo of laves on the Mozambique coast when driven off and pursued by the man-of- war. The chase lasted three or four days, and the dhow bad finally thought to escape by running among the Is- lands. When she went down her crew escaped to Bird Island and were after- ward taken off by a native craft M. QUAD. Farmville Section ALT. HORTON BRO. FARMVILLE.
