CAN'T KEEP A
GOOD SHIP DOWN

salvage ship, however has been lost
through enemy action.
One of the largest oil tank steam
ships was mined and caught fire.
There was heavy explosion and the
decks were flooded with burning Oil.
The cargo consisted largely of benzine.
Most persons would conclude that the
case was hopeless. Not so. The YES
sci was scuttled by gun fire and thus
the fire was eXtingulshed. Then divers
plugged all the shot holes, besides clos
Ing other apertures. On being pump
ed out the vessel fioated and was
forthwith taken to repairing port.
New Pump is Valuable.
AS showing how valuable is the new
submersible electric motor pump, a
recently torpedoed ship which carried
cargo (mainly foodstuffs) of more
than S15,OOO,OOO value had hole 40
feet long by % feet deep in her side.
She was taken in tow by rescue tugs,
but went down before time had served
to beach her suitably. No ordinary
pumping power would have served the
stOkehOld, engine room and all her af-
ter holds to be pumped out, so that
cargo could be discharged and the ves-
sci taken higher up the beach. Then
the tightening process was continued
until the vessel was foated and taken
into dock. practically all her cargo be-
ing saved.
The number Of the ships of the mer-
camille marine actually salved by the
department in two years from 1915 to
1917 was 260. All these vessels were
of big tonnage. For the present year
the monthly totals of such vessels
salved were: January, IA; February
Al; March, 81; April 80, and May, 10.
Thus the department has saved 407
important vessels of the mercantile
marine. This does not include vessels
salved outside Of home waters.-
The larger figures Of the latter pc
Rod were due, not to increased enemy
activity but to improved salvage meth
DDS.
Many risks are run by the divers,
particularly from gases generated by
decomposed vegetables and meat in
the holds of sunken ships, deaths hav-
Ing resulted from this cause. Grain. It
seems, develops sulphuretted hydro
gen. which occasions blindness and
violent sickness.
A chemist. however, has found
preparation which when sprayed on
rotting cargo Immediately kills the
gases and enables men to carry on
their work in safety.

MARINES HAVE
NO FEAR OF HUNS

and American efficiency in the field"
says:
ION the roads to the front there is
perpetual movement. Hundreds Of mo-
tor lorries. each one packed with
French soldiers. pass us in quick sue
cession on their way to another part
Of the line. Again and again we pass
bodies Of American troops on the
march. then group Of women and
children. Although the road winds
over the face Of well titled country
side, few birds are seen, except for an
occasional pair Of ring doves. Such Is
the incongruity Of war!
Aircraft Hum Continuous.
I'VE find the marines headquarters
ut an old farmhouse. shut in ON every
side by woods. Here the hum of air
craft is continuous. and links up the
intermittent crash of artillery fire. A
Boche observation balloon hangs above
the woods to eastward, and 'woolly
bear shell lays a vivid black smudge
against the limited skyline ahead. In
the farmyard we seem to stand in a
little world apart. but the sounds Of
adjacent fighting are close about us.
"a marine officer who has had no
sleep for three nights comes in, dusty
but cheerful, from the trenches. The
marines are doing themselves proud
out there, he says. There has been
some stiff fighting in the woods, but
the Boche will have to shift soon; that
is the opinion of this old campaigner,
who has fought by sea and land all
over the globe. We leave the farm
under the guidance of young lieu
tenant. broth of boy with the
face of Greek god.
