Work on the Wreck Was Begun
by the Underwriters
Yesterday.
WILL FIRST BE DIsMANTLED.
The Hull Will Then Be Floated by
Means of Pontoons and
Pumped Out.

The work of raising the sunken British
ship Blairmore has at last begun. The
wrecking steamer Whltelaw was towed
out to the scene of the disaster yesterday
by the tug Sea Queen. Four sets of moor
ing lines were put out, and the Whitelaw's S
crew is now hard at work.
When the divers were sent down they
found that it was impossible to work
among the wreckage. The rigging of the
sunken vessel has broken adrift and be-
come twisted up into all kinds of snarIs.
In consequence the men could not move
about, and the work of building three
floats was at once begun. On these the
men who handle the diving lines will be
able to move around as the divers move
from point to point of the ship.
Very little work was done yesterday.
but this morning everybody will be fully
engaged. The topmasts of the fore and
main have snapped off, and these will be
first removed. Then the standing rigging
will be cut away and sent up to the
wrecker. Next the yards will be cut away,
and lastly the masts will be taken out.
Captain Whitelaw thinks that this work
will take up about ten days, and then the
real task will begin. Pontoons will be
used and the same procedure will be fol-
lowed as was used in the case of the City
of New York. The latter, however, was
hard and fast on the rocks, while the
Blairmore is only fast in the m nd, and
the wreckers expect to have no difficulty
in raising her.
1.-THE tide here runs like millrace,"
said Captain Burns the representative of
the English underwriters, yesterday. "In
consequence the divers will be restricted
to so many hours day In which they can
work.
"Their heaviest task will be in cutting
away the standing rigging and removing
the masts. Then they will fasten the
lines around the hull and their work will
be done. The underwriters are taking all
the risks in the work of raising the Blair
more and l think we will make a success
of it."
The supposition is that when the Blair
more is placed on an even keel the ballast
in her hold will shift back to its original
position, and the bodies of the drowned
sailors will thus be released and will float
to the surface. A sharp lookout will be
kept for the remains, and every precaution
will be taken to keep them from drifting
