"Yes, I believe that diver gets $15 a day for his work down on the bottom of the dock, but he runs the risk of losing his life fifteen times for every dollar he receives," said a man on one of the new Bishop estate wharves yes terday, as he watched the bubbles coming up.- The water bubbles. indicated where a diver was at work in thirty feet of water or mud, for. the tide rushing Into the new dock kept the water black during the greater portion of the time. A small barge was moored near the bubbles, and on this two men were busily grinding away at the pumps which supplied the diver with air. Near the ladder which goes down Into the water from the end of the barge sits a man with a rope in his hand. The diver signals his wants on this rope, and the man sitting there carries them out. The work being done by the diver is that of placing a new copper sheath ing on the piles where it has been torn off through driving them .into the coral. He has to do his work entirely by feel ing, as it is impossible' for him to see through the mud. . When, he wishes piece of copper four inches square, or any other size, to cover a break in the sheathing he signals the size up by jerks on the rope. Then the copper is cut and sent down to him. Nothing can.. be seen of his work above the wa ter except the rising bubbles, and all that can be heard is a dull thud when he hurls his. hammer in the mud and drives a nail "home" through the sheathing and piling. The diver employed is one of the eldest jn Honolulu. He is, of course encased in divers' armor, but it is re markable even then the length of time he is capable of staying under water at his work. . Sometimes he only stays underneath the surface a couple of hours.but oftentimes he remains under the surface for six or seven hours. A rubber pipe leads from the barge pump to his armor, and through this the air is forced. It leaves the air-tight armor suit through a cap in the diver's hel met, and such force is used in sending the air" through '.that -he has new air to breathe about every second. After leaving thet helmet the air goes into the water with such-force that as it rises to the surface it stirs the1 water up to such-an, extent that one would imagine that a steamer's propellor was working down pelow instead of a man.
