shallower water not only earitoea but
ships are beliiK suved.

It tho divers iiftor an' Investigation

necessary repairs made.
In tho caso of vessels only partly

Ono vessel waa torpedoed In tho

shore before it went down. When It
finally sunk It was exposed ut low

vessel Into a perpendicular position
and the vessel finally reflonted.
While these salvage operations
have been remuneratively successful,
leaders In tho Industry decluro that
It is next to Impossible to save a
