ROMANCE OF SALVAGE. GERMAN WAR INVENTION USED,

Something quite new io salvage has been accomplished to raising the German dea troyer S 136, one of the seattled Germant Fleet in Scapa Flow.

Unlike the other destroyers that bave been brought to the surface by "Messrs. Cox and Danks, this vessel' was lying on her side, and had to be placed on an eten keel on the sea bottom. before being salved. This is claimed to be a record performance This firm bought from the Admiralty the right of raising and disposing of, as scrap, twenty-six surten destroyers of about 750 tons each, and also the battle. ships Hindenbury and Seydlitz, of about 25,000, tocs each, and carrying 11 and 12 inch guns. Eight destroyers have been so raised, and three already sold to ship- breakers.

* new

By the irony of fate it is dueto a German war contrivance that this salvage work has become economically possible. Under the Treaty Germany handed over floating dock with a cylindrical chamber 40 feet in diameter for the testing of " boats under hydraulic pressure. weighed 2,000 tons, and measured over 400 feet by 130. The firin secured it, scrapped the metal chamber, and becoming alive to the lifting capacity of the two poutoons, adapted it to its present use. Thus what would have been an unprofitable task for ordinary salvage operations became a com- mercial proposition.

* 70 NOW A SALVAGE SHIP, V70, the first beat to be raised from ten fathoms deep. was senworthy enough to be used as a salvage ship alongside the Admi ralty wharf at Lyaess, in Scapa Flow. This German destroyer still fulfils that use- fal function. There was never '& more valuable instance of the Germans being- hoist with their ower petard, for the Ger- man officers who scuttled the fleet did it very thoroughly. They not only opened the sen-cocks, but so damaged the bulk- heads as to Bood every part of the ships. Fri. Some already raised were so buckled that

THE KOBENHAVN."

AT HOME" ON WORLD'S BIGGEST

SAILING SHIP.

About a hundred and fifty guests en- joyed the hospitality of the captain and officers of the Kobenken at an At Home heid on board at Singapore on May 25th. It was a real privilege to view the fine five-master, the largest sailing-ship in the world, from close quarters, and everyone came away greatly impressed with the value of the training which the East Asiatic Company give to their cadets through service on this ship, writes one of the guests.

There are about forty gaders on the Kobenhavn, their ages ranging from Al- teen to twenty years, and all the work on board is done, by them, while they also receive instruction in navigation and other studies. Someone remarked that the only place from which a sailing- ship could be appreciated was the top of the aust. but the visitors at the At Home got a sulEciently good idea of the forest of spare and rigging which towers above the Kobenhavn from the deck. It may be of interest to add that the ship does about fifteen knots under full sail

The visitors were shown over the ship, and also allowed to suspect the captain's cabin, which is a marvel of comfort, con- sidering the restricted space. Some of the cadets were sent aloft for the visi tors benefit and the fandsmes did not envy them their dizzy altitude at the top of the great masts. Tea was served on the quarterdeck, and everyone spent a very enjoyable and interesting time.
