The work Of raising the Hunken British
rhlp nlnirmorc has n tlnst begun, The |
wrccklnR steamer whltclaw was towed |
out to the scene of tho disaster Saturday
by the tug Sea Queen Four sets OF
moorlng lines were put out. and the !
whltulnw'a crew ia now hard Ht work,
when tho divers were sent down they
found that II was impossible TO work |
among the wrcckagc The rigging OF |
the aunken vessel has broken ndrlft and |
become twisted mn into all kinds or
Hnarls In consequence, tho men could !
not move about, aud the work of build |
Ing three floats was ut once begun. on |
these the men who handle the diving |
lines viii be able to move around nA the !
divers move from point TO point Of the |
ship. Very little work was done Satur-
day. hut Sunday morning everybody was !
fully engaged. The topmnsts OF the |
fore and main have snapped on, and !
these will bo first removed Then the I,
standing rigging will be cut away and
sent up TO the wrcckcr Next the Yards I
will he cut away, and lnstly the m0sts
viii he taken out. Captain Whlteiaw !
thinks that this work will take up about /
ten days. and then the real work will
begin, Pontoons will be used and the |
same procedure will be followed as was /
used In tho case OF the City OF New |
York. The latter. however. was hard |
nnd fast upon the rocks. while the Blair !
more Ia only fast In the mud, and tho |
wrcckers exject TO havo no difficulty In !
raising her. THE tide here runs like q
mlllracc," said Capatln Burns, the repre-
sentative OF tho English underwriters.
'Tn consequence the drivers win be re-
strlctcd to 40 many hours n day In
which they can work. Their heaviest
task viii he In cutting away the stand
Ing rigging and removing the masts
Then they will fnsten 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
