Weihniwel, June 1. Attempts to salvage H.M.S. Poseidon ure being continued with IL.M.S. Medway, Cumberland, Hermes, the Royal Naval tug Safat Brenck, and the U.S.S. salvage ships Pigeon, standing.
Efforts are being made to blow out the water with high pressure air: but the position, 20 miles outside the harbour, where even a small wind raises a swell, renders diving operations difficult, and liable to frequent interruption. Therefore there seem to be very slender prospects of immediato
success.
Assuming that the present methods fail, the lifting of the Poseidon must be a long task even for the largest and most modern salvage equipment.
The survivors who came up to the surface after the Poseidon settled were all from a forward compartment, They included the Chinese mess boy.
The organisation of the escape required skilled knowledge and the the great presence of mind on part of the senior rating who took charge, and great coolness by the individuals concerned.-Reuter.
