THE WRECK OF THE TYNE.

Attempts have again been made to raise the
Brazilian mail steamer, Tyne, which stranded on
the coast of Dorsetshire. iwo steam tugs have
beon at the spot for some days to render assistance,
and a steam-pump
was sent down on Wednesday.
This pump has been found to answer well. A
government steam tug was sent down yesterday.
Captain Russell, an officer experienced in raising
ships, has been engaged. His plan is to build
something like a rough shell of a ship inside the
stranded one, and then the water, rushing in and
pressing upwards against the shell, lifts the strand-
ed ship. This plan, however, has not been approv-
ed of at present by the owners of the Tyne. There
is still an opinion that the vessel only leaks at her
stein. An effectual bulkhead has now been erected
inside the Tyne ; that iq, a clay wall has been built
up which separates the leaky part of the ship from
the other part; she can now be pumped out, and
as she went ashore when the tide was low she will,
when the water is out of har, float at high tide.
The reason, it is believed, why the experiment of
lifting her, which was tried a few weeks ago, did
not sue Jeed, 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
watert;ght. A different kind of clay has been u.ed
for the present bulkhead, which it is thought will
prevent leakage ;
an, the steam pump
employed
bang more effectual than the hand pumps which
wore formerly used, the Tyne will most probably
be easily pumped dry. Everything was expected
'to 130 ready for floating the Tyne at high water last
night, which would happen at about ten o'clock,
and at that time the grand experiment of getting
the ship off would be made. The steam tugs that
are there will assist in dragging her into deep
water as soon as she is lifted. The success of the
watertight, and upon the ship not leaking
experiment will depend entirely upon the bulkhead
keeping
I
from the bulkhead forward.
