FLOATING OF THE TYNE

r, TiII'ILSDAT.

The royal mail ateaaer "ins etranded
on the coast of Dorset, on the 13th of January last, on her
voyage home from the Brasile, has been net afloat again.
She ern& on a concealed ledge of rock, about half a mile
from the shore, and where the tide tiara to about nine fiet.
Hcr mails, parengers, crew, and epode, were immediately
got out of leer. The that night after she stranded every one
deserted her, as it was considered dangerous to remain es
board. Her stem was damaged, and she vas half fall d
water, and ahe bad a "lint" on one side, bat We bow yea
well out of the water, and pointing out to NIL Mir SO
first night elle was never deserted. As muck se pang& at
her cargo and stores were soon got out of her. Divers and
persons used to raising vessel. were employed to examine
into the probability of raising and getting her off. Some
were for an immediate trial; others were for letting her re.
main until the summer. The Tyne being an iron ship, and
known to have been built remarkably strong, it was thought
that by keeping thee iater, in her, she would hold together a long
time where she first struck. Numbem of men were, however,
constantly employed in lightening her, and building a sub-
stantial bulk -bend, en am to have the power of any time to
pump her dry; and when she was considerably lightened,
and the water partially pumped out of her, attempts woe
made by the tags to drag her into deep water. Continual
and almost disheartening failures accompanied these attempts.
Sometimes the water mold not be gar under; at other times
the water was got under, but the enormous weight of bee
machinery prevented her from being moved. Still the motto
of than who undertook to raise her was ° Perseverance,"
Gradually she was lightened of everything that could be re-
moved from her. Viral her engine work was taken out
piece by pine. An attempt wan then made to move her,
which faded. Then the boilers were taken from her, and to
there WIN not adequate power to lift them out,they actually hod
to be taken out warmed. Every high spring tide an attempt
was made to get her off. At one time the water was all got
out of her, and preparations were being made to get her off,
when, before they could be put innneratirm, a heavy under-
ground swill came on suddenly, and before the water could,
be let in again, to make her stick fast, she drifted farther in
toward land, and this rendered it mere dilteult to get her off.
On Wedneaday last everything was again prepared to make
a grand attempt to lift her by the high sprang tide. At 8
o'clock yesiter&y morning. scores of men were working at
her pumps, and had been doing so nine. 12 o'clock on Wed-
nesday night. Everything peril& wee got out
of her. Just before the high tido yesterday morn-
ing three turn got hold of her, and they were
waisted by the wind blowing off the land. A kw
minutes before 8 a.m. yesterday, to the surprise and joy of
ell present, elle moved about a foot, then another
foot, until at length the magnifieent hull of the Tyne,
for it was litendly nothing else, 1,200 tons in
weight, and worth 40,000/., floated into deep water.
A messenger was immediately sent across the Isle
of Purbeck, to telegraph the welcome intelligence to
Southampton and London that the Tyne was afloat again.
At half-part one yesterday afternoon large manes of smoke
were seen at Southampton, curling over Celahot Castle, and
presently the Tyne hove in sight, in tow of three tug
steamers, one in front, and one on each side of her. Two
small steam-engines were an her deck pumping out the water
from bee an fast as she leaked. She came rapidly up South-
ampton water. She had a considerable '• list." her funnel
and mainmast were gone, and she looked like a pitiable
wreck that was unable to keep above water without
assistance. Yet the beautiful lines on which she had Leen
built were clearly perceptible in her battered and limping
form. All the West India steamers in the docks hoisted
their colours to welcome her back to her native port; and
hundreds of pawns Resembled in the docks to Intnees her
entrance there. The rote of raising her most have been
considerable, and it WU take a large stun of money to render
her fit for are again. When, however, this et done she will be
worth 80,0001. to the Royal Mail Company. The distance
from the plate of the wreck to Southampton Docks is between
40 and 50 mike.
