THE WRECK OF THE TYNE.

Attempts have again been made to raise the
Brazilian mail steamer Tyne, which stranded. on
the coast of Dorsetahire. wo steam tugs have
been at the spot for some days to render aedssnisetsadnace,
and a steam-pump was sent do

This pump has been found oi answer vt

as she went ashore when the tide was low she will,
when the water is out of her, float at high tide.
The reason, it is believed, why the expa.ment of
lifting her, which was tried a few weeks ago, did
not succeed, was, that the clay which was used, not
being fit for the purpose, was partly washed away,
so that the bulkhead which it formed was not
watertight. A different kind of clay has been usedi
for the present bulkhead, which it is thought, %I
