Bay Gives Up Mystery Ship SAN FRANCISCO-Jack Burns, driving piles for the ferry slips on Treasure Island, site of the 1939 World's Fair here, stared in open amazement as he watched the wa- ter before him. Slowly, a 200-foot mass was ris– ing from the bottom of San Fran– cisco Bay. Seconds passed, and the mass broke through the surface, reveal– irtg itself as the rotted hulk of what once had been a graceful sailing ship. Her superstructure was gone, her sides crumbled a– way, with huge ribs encrusted with shells. Investigation showed the myst– ery ship to be the Mohican, a navy bark.
