 Cost! Well. that is another matter, for the financial side of the proposition presents the question of whether the ship is worth what has been and is to be spent upon her In the average wreck the nrst question asked is whether the cost of floating and reittins will be anywhere near the value of the ship before 1t was wrecked
 Many & vessel, apparently in excellent shape. has been permitted to disintegrsts on the beach because she was not worth the cost of sslvaging. In other words. it was cheaper to consider the vessel e total loss.
 That is the way that steamship people and the great maritime insurance agen- cies consider these matters. but with the government 1t has been different Save the Yankee at any cost seems to have been the motto. and at that cost she will be saved, if such a thing Is possible.
 It has been estimated that the Yankee. before grounding. represented total value of s5oo.Oo0. The first wrecking opera tons cost about s3o.Ooo. It cost about Sl0o,O00 to maintain a fleet of. tugs and colliers around the stranded ship during these operations Then there is Ss7. .50o that went to the private wreckers. to which x50OOo must be added for govern ment tug service contributed On top of this the repairs, which will aggregate not less than S2oo,0O0. to say nothing of minor expenses. which. it is figured. will make the tots; cost of the Yankee once more In commission. a round s1.0Oo.000.

 The paying of the costs of the salvage of the Yankee Is wise investment for the future.

 In order to follow the wrecking opera tions 1t will be necessary to tell the story Of the Yankee from the beginning. The vessel was originally the Fl Norte and was built by the Newport News Ship huidlng Company in 1892. At the out brenk of the spanish War she was bought by the government md made an auxiliary cruiser. being 6tted with cannon.
 Manned by regulars and naval reserves. the Yankee made an excellent record for herself. At the close of the war she was rentted ut considerable cost and was lated Gs a second rate ship in the naval register.
