What It means to salve q wreck Il

teal seamen can properly appreciate.
The wreck Il ponderous, unwieldy
mountain of steel and oak. weighing
between 1900 and 1900 tons. often
dangerous for any vessel 10 approach,
and this must be lifted bodily and
hoated from the decks Of pitching, un-
stable scows and barges. The wreck
may be submerged beneath fifteen or
thirty feet Of water and 50 stove In
that divers must go down and effect
temporary repairs before 1t can be
raised. II may be a wreck 30 shat
tered that It is not worth raising, 30
that the wrecker's work consists mere
ly In blowing mp the hulk and re-
moving It as menace to navigation.
Or the vessel may be fairly intact, but
sunk too deep to make attempt at
raising advisable, the wrecker's work
consisting In salving valuable cargo
Often the wreck Is one not submerged
at all. A ship may have run on to a
reef, where It lies, nose on a crag and
stern afoat, rising and falling on the
ocean swell, pounding, pounding and
pounding until the very ocean bottom
drones and she is gradually broken to
pieces, Or, again, the wreck may be
that Of steamer which has pointed
it's nose shoreward IN fog, finding a
beach, blowing furrow through the
yielding sand and never coming to a
halt until 1t is stuck fast all but high
and dry, a helpless victim to the next
storm that comes screeching up the
coast to pile breakers against her and
crowd her even higher upon the beach.

In 1884 the illness Of one delegate

July %, 1873, one vote ratified the

tween Hamilton and Clinton ended
with New York following suit. In 1870
Rhode Island came In with an equally
small margin.
Alexander Hamilton swung one vote

college OF 1900. thus breaking a dead
lock after thirty-six ballots and de-
