Edgar was not "droon'd," and divers are sometimes "drownded." So far from being drowned, he was remarkably successful in discovering the leak on his first descent. It was caused by one of the iron-plates near the keel having been badly torn by a coral rock. Thoroughly to repair this was a difficulty.
