BAVARIA BEEN SALvAcED
 FROM HER WATERY BERTH

The MS Bavaria once more rides the ocean SWells. The vessel which became so heavily iced down ill the recent strong gales that she filled with water and plunged down to the bottom of the briny deep, was drawn up onto the beach where the water was bailed out Saturday
 Salvage workers used the line which the Bavaria was tied to shore with and fished out the ves- sells anchor line to tow the craft up to the beach.
 When the vessel was brought out of her deep water berth, it was found that the pressure of the wa ter was so great that it had crush ed an empty gasoline tank. There was no real harmful damage done to the vessel except that the engine will have to be overhauled.
 The MS Roy, anchored alongside the Bavaria during the gale the other day. almost went down also. However, that vessel was partially shielded from the icy blasts by the Bavaria when she was up and did not ice down so heavily. After the Bavaria went down the Roy was al- most on the verge of filling with water as the craft had iced down so much that the waves were start ing to lap over into the vessels hull
