at moment notice may proceed to the spot
where an accident has taken place and after
swift diagnosis begin upon more or less drastic
operations, which in hundreds of cases have
saved a superb vessel from total destruc-
ton.
In this regard hospitals" and surgeon"
are only fanciful names for drydocks and salv-
age experts those modern miracle workers of
the sea whose daring speculations have
snatched many a rich haul from pounding

MARVELS OF SHIP SURGERY
By w. G. Fitz-Gera1d

Passengers and part of the cargo
were safely landed, and then under
circumstances of incredible difficulty,
in one of the most notorious of navi-
gable seas, a close examination was
made, and daring measures were re-
solved 1t was seen that the after part
was practically unchanged; for the
water tight bulkheads had been closed.
And again by the use of dynamite,
placed and exploded with infinite care.
the towering bow was cut off. Many
blasts were needed; and as each went
off the surgeons inspected the results
and made wonderfully accurate calcu-
lations before the next charge was put
in position. Nearly forty feet down
into the Atlantic Ocean half a dozen
divers moved cautiously, directed by
the powerful rays of electric sub
marine lamps placed on their mailed
breasts. AS the vessel was heavily
laden, she had to be cut from the out
side; and as fast as the holes were
blasted, frozen carcasses of mutton
kept dropping on the workers both
above and below water.

HIGH Specialists Needed

THUS, the work calls for money, patience,
rare Judgment, and engineering skill of a
high order Four times was the huge Hvpatia
brought to the surface,-a vastly profitable
case to the surgeons, and four times she
sank again through some failure of the gear
Then too tens of thousands of dollars were
spent on the Iowa, which went ashore IN
fog on the French coast near Cherbourg and
turned on her side. In this case appliances
were borrowed from the French Government
backward near by and steel masts were set
up. with great pulleys at the top. Over
these were passed hawsers attached to the
masts of the fallen Iowa; but when the strain
was put on the big vessel refused to rise, and
the attempt was abandoned after fifteen thou
sand dollars had been spent. Three months
later, however, the salvors made another at
tempt astonishing in its simplicity The YES
the result that as the furious tide came rolling
in she rose to meet it as though overjoyed at
her own recovery. But this second effort, SIM
pie as it seemed cost another twenty thousand
dollars
1t seems to be the principle of the merchant
marine that as long as ship holds together,
whether above water or below, hope Is not to
be abandoned. The Wells City went down in
New York Harbor, and little seen Of her
but her mast tops Yet she had an immensely
valuable cargo of tin plate goods, and though
the sea doctors spent one hundred thousand
on her case there was still an immense profit.
The instruments used were enormous pumps,
with such suction power as to be capable OF
discharging sixty thousand gallons of water
every hour.
Even huge warships are similarly treated
the ten thousand-ton British battleship Howe.

Case of the Suevic

A SIMILAR, but even more extensive case
was that of the White Star liner Suevic,
impaled the needlehke Stag Rocks, off the
Corni ;h coast of England, one day In March
She tore into the sunken rocks at thirteen
knot clip so that, like the Milwaukee, she was
spitted like an insect on pin.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-22

The big Suevic, however, at length dragged
off nearly five hundred feet of herself, and even
this mutilated section was worth seven hum
bred and fiftv thousand dollars. The surgery
in this case cost something like two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; SO there was a
profit for the underwriters of half million.

Costly Apparatus

ITO raise a wreck in the open sea involves
the use of costly and complicated gear. A
common plan is to sink pontoons beneath the
stricken ship, and then pump the water out
of them, SO that they become buoyant, and
in rising lift the submerged hull clear OF the
sea floor But in the case of very large YES
sells, enormous derricks supported on huge,
squat lighters must be hauled out to the scene
and disposed on each side above the sunken
monster. And it is wonderful and fascinat-
ing sight to watch the giant cables as they are
hauled taut with immense power, and gradually
drag the mighty hull into view.
Less sensational, yet troublesome enough,
is the case of big ship stranded on sandy
beach, high and dry, far from her native ele-
ment, vet quite uninj ured. Sometimes a
wooden sipwav is laid down and the vessel is
hauled along the creased ways: Or tenn
porarv canal will be dug from ship to sea with
infinite patience and ingenuity. SO that at high
tide the towering craft out of water may be
towed seward. But in this case the work
must be protected from the rising tides with
thousands of sacks of sand, otherwise the inn
provised canal will be obliterated.

No Cure. No Pay

pUT the work is entirely speculative. No
u cure, no pay is the motto of this Titanic
surgery; and often enough the salvage people
lose fortune in vain efforts over one vessel, as
in the obstinate case of the unfortunate liner
Paris, which ran ashore on the dreaded Mana
Giles Rocks.
Big capital is needed. 1t cost twenty-five
thousand dollars to save the independent,
sunk in New York Harbor; yet the task was
as nothing compared with the salvage of the
ferrvboat Chicago, which was worth one hun
bred thousand dollars Many horses and
wagons went down with her and in one OF the
latter was a load of silver bars valued at thirty
thousand dollars The work of the divers in
this case was made terrible by the presence of
the bodies of the victims, which had to be re-
covered from forty-three feet of mud and water.

addressed to the president by Sec
retary Root and dated Jan. 9, 1905,
transmits copies of the new tenn
porary commercial agreement be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, signed April 90 and May
~, 1907, together with the report
of the American commission on
which the agreement is based.
Mr.. Root states that the several
notifications of the customs and
consular regulations of the United
States, set forth in the diplomatic
note from the secretary of state
to the German ambassador at Wash
ington, dated April %, 1907, re-
lating solely to matters within the
power OF the executive to reg ate,
have been carried into effect and
extended so far as practicable to
all countries alike. The diplomatic
notes from the secretar of STATE
to the German ambassador dated
May ., 1907, he states, calls for
a recommendation to congress that
certain amendments of the law be
made. After giving the text of the
proposed amendments Secretary Root
states that the proposed changes are
as follows:
1.-THE right is given to add to
the invoice value at the time Of
entry in the case of consigned
goods.
. Also the right to deduct from
the invoice value at the time of
entry for purchase as well as con-
signed goods.

variation is fixed within which ad-
ditional duties shall not be assessed.
The provision follows, therefore,
