MAJOR PROBLEM Nevertheless, salvage presented a major problem. Abnormal tides such as those experienced during the typhoon, could not be expected again and the ship had no cargo aboard to be jettisoned.

It was necessary to cut a conol from the ship, hard ashore, to the sea.

Five days after the Asama went ashore Japanese salvage experts were on the job.

Two salvage tugs, 213 workmen, including 36 divers, were engaged continuously in the work of blasting a channel.

The rock beneath the ship was so solid that dynamite had to be used continuously, Altogether, 25,000 charges of explosive, weighing 2 tons, was used on 200 days, and an oren of $2,000 square feet was blast- ed and dredged away.

In addition to two of the main! engines, fuel oil. deck fittings, winches, life boats and stores were removed from the ship, in un ellori to liten ber.
