...discovered near Boylston Hall by workmen who were building water pipes leading through the district, has proved a most interesting find. The men were constructing a long, deep trench to lay piping that should carry water from the street to Wadsworth House. As they were working, just beyond the path which leads through the Yard, opposite Boylston Hall, they came upon what they at first thought, to be a cavity where old piping foundations had been.

It was only by the merest chance that the little boat was sighted, for if two hours had not been lost in making soundings and other investigations, the "Seneca" would have been far out of its path and would have passed it in the night. The boat, distinguished by a coat fastened to a pole, was sighted three miles off. The men, when found, had only a handful of crumbs left as their rations, but after a short time all but the leader were in fair condition...
