Wooden ships are usually docked for
repairs. for recopperirg and for ealk-
ing. The same procedure applies to
them as to iron or steel vessels. as far
as docking and unlocking are con-
cerned. The same general principles
upon which a vessel is placed in the
ordinary drydock apply to hauling one
out upon a marine railway. In the
latter case as in the former. the keel
blocks must be properly adjusted to
the contour of the vessels keel The
cradle upon which the vessel Is to
rest Is arranged to suit her shape and
then lowered down beneath the water
at the foot of the railway. The vessel
is then hauled over the cradle and Sc

There arc several kinds of anti-foul-

times wear OF IN spots. After a vessel

considerable skill. The operation is

Notice must always be given in ad-
vance of the purpose to place the ship
in dock, so that the proper prepara-
tions. which are many and important,
may be made. First and most impor-
tant of these Is the placing of the keel
blocks upon which the vessel must rest.
Naturally the keel blocks must be fixed
so as to conform nicely to the contour
of the keel in order that the weight of
the hull may be properly distributed
between them. If an uneven strain oc-
ours the vessel is apt to hog" or
sag" and perhaps be seriously dam
aged.
Most ships have what is known as a
docking plan" This is generally a
blue print, furnished by the vessels
OF successive points of the keel above
or below conventional horizontal base
line The docking plan enables the
drydock people to place the keel blocks
accurately.
After the keel blocks are fastened in
place the dock is flooded and the cais-
son or gate opened to admit the incom-
ing vessel AS soon as the latter is
near enough and pointed fair lines are
led from 1t and 1t is slowly hauled
into the dock. At the head of the dock

hull being like great sounding, board.
All modern drydocks have more or
less auxiliary machinery connected
moving along railways which surround
the dock. BY means of these cranes,
tailshafts pieces OF frames or plates
and other heavy weights are lifted
out or lowered into place with ease
and rapidity.
When the repairs have been COM
pleted careful inspection is made
OF the hull, every valve or other OPEN
ing in the bottom being closely scru-
tinized to see that it is tight. All
being ready. the dock is slowly flooded
until the ship floats and the water
within the dock is on a level with
that without. AS the vessel rises she
relieves the shores" which themselves
float and are hauled out of the way.
AS soon as the water is high enough
the gate of the dock is opened and
the dock people haul the vessel out
clear. The moment the last docking
line is cast off the vessels own people
resume the handling of 1t. 1t is backed
out, well clear. and goes to her next
destination. which may be a wharf, an
anchorage or the open sea.
Technical knowledge and experience
of high order are essential in the sue
cessful docking of a vessel. the prob

size increases. Proper distribution OF
the strains due to the vessels weight
is OF itself a matter of vital impor-
tance. Sc is the snoring" up. Err

ing a dead weight against them as an
additional factor in the fight for life. A
plank suddenly shot out of whirlpool,
and the alert Es- E. Nottie with great
effort reached it and placed the boys
arms around il. The Indian then worked
the plank toward Saltamah, who with
his heavier burden was rapidly becom-
ing exhausted.
In the meantime the Hercules, beset
by the swift current. was making an
effort to get near the people in the
water. Es- -E-Nottie, with one arm
around the board. reached out and sefz-
ing Saltamah by his long hair drew
him to within reach of the heavy plank
At the same moment he himself lost his
grip on the piece of timber and in his
exhausted condition was swept away
down the river and sank from view
within a few seconds A rope was
thrown from the lower deck of the
Hercules and Saltamah grasped the
end. Faint from exhaustion and terror.
Mrs. McCune and her son were drawn
aboard. Saltamah, his great stout
frame shaking from exertion and strain.
sought to. pull himself over the gun
vale. His hand slipped from the rail
of the boat and he would have gone
back to his death but for the quick
grasp of a deckhand. E-Nottie's
body was never recovered.
Saltamah, hero, is a Mojave Indian.
He is a splendid physical type of his
race and a perfect exponent of the ideal

has been showered upon him. has

Sometimes they may go longer without

AS already stated. drydocks are an
absolute necessity for modern vessels,
as only the smallest ones, ana even
they at great risk OF strain. can have
their bottoms attended to by the ar
cient method OF "heaving down." This
practice. resorsed to OF necessity By
Cook, Vancouver, Magellan and the long
array OF early navigators and lAtAS
ones. too, consists OF running the va
sci, at high water. as far as possible
up a smooth. sandy beach. making her
fast there, and then. at low watsS.
heaving her over. first on one side and
then on the other. TO reach ana work

high water when the work is done. For
large vessels this is impracticable.
partly because OF their heavy draft
partly because Of the strain to which
1t would subject them and partly to tha
absence OF sufficient power TO heavs
them down.
After a vessel once leaves the
launching ways upon which she was
built. there Is no place outside OF a
drydock or a marine railway where the
exterior immersed hull may be re-
paired or overhauled
