A British vessel loaded with live stock for Brazil had been lost some `months before. probable near the Sargossa sea. It the ship settled on an even keel at the bottom. sand and sea- weed might have closed the rent in her hull that caused her to sink. Then. with the hatches battened down above. the decomposition of the bodies of the ani- mals that had` formedtthe cargo would create enough gas between decks in time to cause the vessel to rise to the surface. _When we cleared the gangway the gas escaped and the broken vessel went to the bottom a, second time.
