VACATION.

This is the glad vacation time,
When dainty Doris rests,
She's staying at beach hotel
With some hundred guests,
She COLTS and swims and drives and
walks.
All day without stop,
And every night she flirts till II,
Or dances at hop.
She's having just quet time
To rest her tired brain.
Her work all through the college year,
You know was such a strain!
\But now she's resting-gaining
strength,
'As all girls ought to do,
She's up each day at s o'clock,
And gets to bed at 2!
How blessed is vacation when
Your brain is tired out,
To rest your nerves and give you
calm,
And make you strong and stout!
And Doris will return refreshed,
Her brown eyes bright and clear,
To look ahead TO peaceful days
Of rest another year!

Then the discoveries OF the new salvage
method asked to be allowed to work upon
the Bavarlan, and at the expenditure of
only $4,000. it was safely brought up in
the spring of last year.
A feat which Mr.. ]. Sandman Allen,
chairman Of the Liverpool Salvage asso-
citation, aid made a record in salvage
work was successfully accomplished about
eight or nine months ago.
II was the case OF the steamer Vero-
nese, which, with a valuable cargo. sank
off the Spanish coast with a hole in its
bow. The question was whether the old
method OF discharging the cargo and
patching the vessel from the inside would
have to be adopted OF whether 1t could be
avoided. II was decided 10 repair the
damage under water, utilizing pneumatic
tools. which have recently come into
use.
Divers took the measure OF the damage
and a steel patch was made on board the
salvage steamer. Working on a platform
twenty-eight feet below water, divers
drilled the necessary holes in the ship.
The plate was then sent down and fixed
at once by patent bolts Invented by the
associations surveyor. The cargo was not
disturbed. and the ship was brought back
to Liverpool through the bay OF Biscay,

In variable weather. without starting a
leak.
II for nothing else than the ingenuity
displayed by the salvage people. the rescue
OF the British cruiser Victorious is well
worth recording. Early in 1899 the Vic
%torious. a vessel of 1890 tons, went
aground off Port Said in a heavy gale.
II ran on to a bank of sticky mud and
sand, and every effort to get it off with
It's own engines and by powerful tugs
proved unavailins.
II was the engineer in chief of the Suez
canal who solved the problem. He sug-
gested placing a dredger on each side Of
its keel. and at the same time employing
two tank boats to force heavy Jets OF
water under the bottom OF the stranded
ship and so keep the sand from settling
back. This device proved completely sue
~cessful, and within forty-eight hours the
Victorious was safe In thirty-five feet of
water.
How dangerous its position was may be
judged from the fact that another vessel
which ran upon the same sand bed a few
years previously sank in It up TO the mast
head and lies there buried for all time.

The idea was conceived from the com

worked upon has all it's upper works made
perfectly tight, and then air under great
pressure is forced into the holds. BY this
means the water is gradually driven out at
the leaky holes, and the vessel. thus being
artificially and temporarily lighter than
water, rises to the surface,

II ran hard and fast upon the granite
crags of the Scotch coast. There il lay,
damned hard and fast. and exposed to the
scud OF a heavy swell which within the
first twenty-four hours twisted its bows
to pieces.
Captain Bachelor. who was intrusted with
the task OF saving II, saw at first glance
that the f~orepart of the ship was beyond
hope and resolved upon a desperate ex-
pedient. He hung a belt OF small dynamite
cartridges around the hull, just forward

A Remarkable Feat.
What is said to nave been the most won
derful feat OF salvage engineering OF its
kind was the raising OF the emigrant ship
Utopia in the bay OF Gibraltar. It ran
onto the ram Of the British cruiser Arson
and sank in fifty-seven feet OF water. The
depth was great and the currents strong;
yet divers succeeded in erecting upon IL
a huge cofferdam. which raised its sides
above water. It's hull was then patched,
the water pumped out, and it was floated.
Curious devices are sometimes resorted
to in the attempt to save something from

Another steamer, whose stern had been

Again, a steamer on shore was being
hghtened OF It's cargo In order 10 be
towed off when bad weather interrupted
the salvage operations. Then II was
found necessary to deliberately flood the
alf empty holds with water so as to
keep IT upright on the shore TIL the
weather moderated, and II was possible to
pump the water out again and tow it off.
