The men wear a type of face glass, rubber feet flippers to add speed to their swimming, and carry a knife on their | swim trunks as protection against the denizens of the deep. | When hunting game fish they carry a “spear-gun | operated on a sling shot basis with a length of tough elas- | tic providing the power. Heavy gloves must be used to cock the weavon. As protection against the stings of microscopic marine life, they don a heavy coating of olive oil. Although this affords very little protection against the outsized jelly- fish it does ease the sting. MacLean says the sting of the “repulsive” creatures feels similar to a mass of highly- sharpened needles being dragged over the skin. The men stay under for as long as a minute and ten seconds during the first submersion, then lessen the length of underwater time according to physical fatigue. In some sections of the wreck marine vegetation grows several feet in height. These weeds, which sway gently in the ynderwater currents, provide the main lurking places for Moray Eels and are carefully avoided. Some of the an- cient cannon are bedecked by these weeds growing from the muzzle. Crust of pinkish coral closely resembling the human brain, were found by MacLean on a group of can-| non balls near the ship. | Pallack, who came to Key West from Chicago, first | started spear fishing ten years ago.
