Wreck salvage plans and church split rumors emerge in June reports
The report notes 11 feet of launch debris clinging to a vessel after a collision though the wreck is in an area where big ships seldom collide. The remaining wreck will be moved to New Orleans on Independence’s next trip from Grand Gazier. Separately, Prof Arthur McGiffert contemplates leaving the Presbyterian church to avoid a heresy trial and may join Congregationalist ranks, a move seen as potentially controversial. A lost water spaniel, five months old, answers to Dewey and Dewey’s mistress offers reward.
