PORTSNIoUTIT, MARCH s.—The Sphynx steam-sloop W: atrs-,---
towed into this harbour at ten o'clock this ;morning by ti ie s ',,SsjSs
Echo tug, and was followed by the African and Monk! yI- '-'-' -----
tugs, each laden with the gear used in this memorable opera t-j 4,1 \ sISMA N..
tion. The vessel was not finally extricated from her strandet I-
position until ten o'clock yesterday morning.
The following is a description of the means which have
‘........... proved successful in saving this fine vessel :—The plan de-
vised for this object was by means of "camels"—the project
of Commaader Caffin, of the Scourge steam-sloop, and Mr-
Watts, the senior assistant-master shipwright of this dock-
yard—the buoyant power of which amounted to above 130
tons, brought under a strong frame-work constructed under
her paddle-boxes; to this was added by Mr. Watts, subse-
quently to Commander Caffiu's leaving, another camel, which
was brought under the head of the vessel, on which, at the
extreme foremost end was erected a high framework for
supporting the chain cables, hawsers, &c., used in heaving
the vessel off; and to obviate or counteract this downward
pressure, at the end of the camel, next the stem, was fixed a
fork formed by means of two stout pieces of fir timber placed.
a little more than the breadth of the stem asunder, and
bolted firmly to the deck of the camel. This fork came un-
derneath two

important aid in getting the vessel over the bank or reef of
floeuvnerdtotolifrtenthdeerbomwoostf
rocks, up to which she had beers brought on the two former'
occasions, but could not then be got over. This ledge has
not more than six feet of water on it at high tide, whereas
the Sphynx when lightened of everthing except her engines,
drew 10 feet of water. The feat. therefore, of getting her
over the reef is one of the most remarkable incidents ever re-
corded in-naval science.
The vessel appears very sound, and came into harbour
with flags flying and the bands of the St. Vincent and Vic-
tory playing " Rule Britannia" as she passed up to the jetty.
She does not appear much damaged, but her defects cannot
be easily ascertained until she is docked, which will be done,
if possible, to-morrow. The camels and raft of casks were
attached to her sides and bottom when she came in. Vast
numbers of officers have been into the dockyard to-day to
witness this signal triumph of industry and perseverance over
circumstances the most unpromising. It is gratifying to add
that everything connected with this event was conducted so
skilfully that no accident occurred. It is anticipated the
vessel will not entail any considerable expenditure in her refit
for service.
The Emerald tender sailed to-day for Plymouth with
supernumeraries.
The new Admiralty " Instructions for Dockyards" em-
bodied in Mr. Ward's (the Secretary to the Admiralty) ex-
planation to the House of Commons, on Friday night last, in
the debate on the navy estimates, were read in this dock-
rd by the Rear-Admiral Sus 'stendent to the heads of
