DIVER BEATS UEVTLTTSTT
Deep-Sea Artist Wins Desperate Fight
on Ocean Bottom.
Long Beach, Cal., Jan. 15. Cut off
irom assistance from above. A. D.
Christy, a professional deep-sea diver,
spent the worst 15 minutes of his life
today in a desperate battle, on the sea
oottom with a large devilfish.
Christy had gone down to inspect
the caissons and piers' of the outer
wharf for the city. In wandering
around he tangled his lifeline up so
that when he felt the octopus seize his
leg he was unable to give the signal
for ascending.
Perceiving that the line was fast he
turned to the octopus, which by that
time had four tentacles wrapped around
his left leg. Five times he slashed
at the monster with his big scraping
knife and each time severed a tentacle.
At last, the octopus moved awav and
Christy hastened' to straighten out the
incline ana gave the signal to be
hauled up. He has been in a state
bordering on nervous collapse ever
since, but his condition is not serious.
