DIVERS ARE PREPARING TO RAISE KEYSTORM

The Sunken Steamer, Coal Laden, Lies On Her Side Below Alexandria Bay

Brockville, Ont., March 12th - The Montreal Light, Heat and Power Co's three-year-old steel steamer Key Storm, which sank a short distance northwest of Chippewa Point in October last, after striking a shoal during a thick fog, bids fair never to be brought to the surface.

A party of four men, D.B. Beaudry, diver; Wm. Beaudry of Detroit; Captain J.T. Hutton and Captain A.R. Hackett, of Amherstburg made an examination of the wreck. They returned quite convinced that to raise the Key Storm is in the present day quite an impossibility.

Diver Beaudry went down to the sunken craft yesterday and found it resting on an angle of 45 degrees. The stern is lying in 140 feet of water and the bow is just 71 feet down. The boat is lying on its starboard side and her plates are ripped on the port side for a distance of 50 or 60 feet. Mr. Beaudry also said he walked along the deck until he got down to a depth of 104 feet when he had to stop owing to the pressure being more than he could stand. As was the general opinion at the time of the accident, Mr. Beaudry said, the bow is resting on a ledge and the stern on the bottom.

The underwriters accordingly will have to stand the loss of the vessel and her cargo of coal.
