The fundamental idea is a mechanism
that automatically will maintain con-
slant tension upon the towing or sup
porting cable. This does away with
the human factor at the steam wind
lass and provides a power plant that
instantly and exactly responds to
every variable demand of each arriv-
ing seaway. The British were able to
refioat a totally submerged craft of
nearly 1000 tons deaweight which was
sunk In 100 feet Of water; and II Is

NJ matter whether the pontoons
separately rose and dropped upon the

II was essential that those movements
should not be transmitted to the haw-
sers passing under the wreck. To
achieve this the pontoons were made
to slide up and down the hawsers
while continuously exerting an even
sustaining pull. This was effected
by means of steam driven windlasses
and interposed tackle equipped with
ingenious cable clamps that would slip
when the pull exceeded a carefully
calculated force. Thus, when a pom

The principal difficulty, after getting
the hawsers arranged at the desired
points under the collier, was to make
certain that the lifting effort should
be uniform upon all of the cables, SO
that the backbone of the vessel would
not be strained or broken by unevenly
applied forces.

steamer, and the latter must work In
the dark, so to speak, and under a
handicap.
On the other hand, II is q fairly sim
pie and easy matter for divers to di-
rect the nozzle of an air Jet and thus
to excavate mud and sand in tunnel
ling under the keel and bottom Of a
sunken craft preliminary to getting
the lifting sings in position. Once
they have cleared the needful pas
sages, the divers pass light lines be-
meath the wreck, and the men at the
surface SUCCESSFULLY draw into place
heavier ropes until they have the wire
cables adjusted. II Is of interest to
learn that an American inventor has
devised type of surface pontoon
which Is calculated to prove Of great
value in dealing with vessels wholly
submerged in deep water. These are
cylindrical affairs so arranged that
when charged with water ballast they
will float upright on their major axis.
and are capable of effeeting in a brief
while vertical movement of quite
thirty feet. Because they can be EN-
ployed in an upright position 1t is
possible to place a large number OF
them alongside foundered ship and
In this way obtain an exceptionally
big measure Of lift.
But no matter what facilities of a
mechanical nature are brought into
play, the ultimate factor determining
success Is the endurance of the diver.
He cannot work with a reasonable de-
gree of security In deep water II the
tidal sweep be strong and the surface
disturbance at all boisterous. The first
soon exhausts his reserve of energy
and the latter leads to disturbing
physical stresses that hamper him
sorely. If his air supply comes from
hand driven pumps any considerable
vertical movement of the salvage
steamer induces variations Of air pres
sure In the form of pulsating surges
and these rapid alterations are0 ex-
ceedingly hard for him to bear. The
deeper he goes the less can he stand
the drag OF currents upon his life line
and air hose, and. similarly, he is I'M
ftteed to combat any lack of uni
formity in the flow of sustaining air.
