Tide Will Do the Lifting and
Vessel May Be Docked
in a Few Days

The last wire of the swinging cradle
in which the wrecked schooner j. H
Lunsmann will be carried into shoal
water was placed in position yesterday
and by the end of the week, If there
is no hitch the vessel will be afloat
Captain T P H. whitelaw. who has the
contract for saving the vessel. is con-
fident that he will be successful in re-
covering from Davy Jones' locker not
only the ship. but all the cargo except
such as might have spilled out through
the hole cut in the hull by the steamer
Francis II. Leggett.
The method used in floating the Luns-
mann will be the same as that adopted
in the case of the tug Sea Prince The
wires attached to the wreck will be
made fast to barges AS much air as
possible will be forced into the hull
and as the rise of the tide lifts the
wreck il will be hauled into shallow
water.
With reasonably good luck a few
besch f6s at shoa WATER it w
possible to put patch on the hole
cut by the Leegett. When this has
been done it win be simple matter to
pump the water out and take the vessel
either TO the drydock or to the coal
bunkers, according to its condition:
Under the contract Captain White
law is TO discharge the coal at some
local bunker and place the. vessel on
the drydock. His compensation will be
20 per cent of all he saves.
