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 af1oat.

fident that he will be successful in re-
covering from Davv Jones' locker not

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

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 it will be hauled into shallow
