shifting her position at all, and it is thought that nothing but an exceptionally fierce typhoon can affect her now. During all the time she' has lain on the rocks she has not weakened in any part but lies as firm and as steady as at first, and with the blasting operations below, and the patching inside, and with extra power- ful pumps to keep her free of water as the rock is blasted away from her, it is hoped that, with the aid of the cofferdam, she will at length be finally raised and placed in safely.
