No. 17 CAN'T KEEP A GOOD SHiP DOWN Half of Torpedoed Craft of Great Britain Have Been Salvaged. METHODS GREATLY IMPROVED Much Greater Weights Than Believed Possible Are New Being Lifted No Hope of Ever Raising Lusitania. London. Of -100 British ships stink In the last two and a lml f years at Ieat CO per cent have been raised from the bottom of the sea. The or ganization responsible the Admiralty Salvage department Is composed en tirely of experts employed by a com mercial firm which engaged In the busi ness before the war. Ships were so cheap then, however, that often It did not pay to raise a sunken wreck and restore her to seagoing condition. Things are vet different now, nnd the result Is that Invention 1ms been Etimulnttd to an extraordinary extent It used to be considered that 1,500 tons was the greatest weight that could be lifted from under water by wire ropes. A .sunken government wi lier that was obstructing a fairway was lifted out of the mud recently and carried away by four lifting ships, with sixteen Wnh wire ropes, and the deadweight carried was calculated at 2,760 tons. The wreck was shifted one mile at the first lift, and so was gradually taken to the beach, patched up and sent off to the repairing yard. She w&nt back Into service and mud; fiveral voyages before a torpedo end ed her career altogether. Cannot "Raise Lusitania. Ships sunk in deep water cannot be nalved. It is not expected that the Liusltonla, for example, will ever bf lifted. Divers cannot work In more than 25 fathoms successfully, thoupli for special purposfn they may some times go down to fathoms for u brief spell of work. The bulk of the ships saved liava Itesn sunk in less than 20 fathoms, or Istve been towed Inshore by rescue tugs, and have gone aground In fairly oasy positions. The salvage men face considerable risks, not only from bod weather but nlso from submarine attack. Only one salvage ship, however, has been lost through enemy nation. One of the largest oil tank Htoam snips was mined and caught fire. There was a heavy explosion and the decks were flooded with burning oil. The cargo consisted largely of benzine. Host persons would conclude that the case was hopeless. Not so. The ves sel was scuttled by gun flro nnd thus the fire was extinguished. Then divers plugged all the shot holes, besides clos Jng other apertures. On being pump ed out the vessel floated and was forthwith taken to a repairing port. New Pump Is Valuable. Ah showing how valuable Is the new submorslblo electric motor pump, n recently torpedoed ship which carried a a . ' 'Tinlnly foodstuffs) of more .than v '. 0 value had a hole 40 feet long iij .

Tho number of tho ship of the mer cantile marine actually salved by the department In two y-;rs front 1015 to 1017 was 2G0. All there vessels were of big tonnage. For the present year the monthly totals of such vessels salved were: Jnunary, 11; February, 11 ; March, a"; April. .'?fi. and May, 19. Thus the department lias saved 40'? Important vessels of the mercantile mnrine. This does not Include vessels salved outside of home waters. The larger flguros of the latter pe riod were due, not to Increased enemy activity but to Improved salvage meth ods.
