PATCHING SHIPS AT

THE war al sea has resulted

in the revival of the acti- vities of a body of men which in the last war played a va- lant

part in the campaign agninst U-boat

sinkings, namely, the salvage experts.

In times of peace it is often not worth while spending money on efforts Lo raise sunken ships or Boat those which have gone aground after being torpedoed or mined; but in war tonnage rises enorm- ously in value. Time is the essen- tial factor, and hundreds of pounds can be profitably spent on saving a ship which would be left to break up in other circumstances.

Like everyone else, ship salvors learned many lessons during the last war which have already been .put to good use in the present struggle. Among them were several crafty dodges for quick re- pairs, enabling ships to be taken to dockyards where they could receive attention to make them perman- sally sound again, Many a ship which had had a great hole blasted

The average Parisian occasion- ally gets cold storage veal, but usually not much besides brend, beats, macaroni. There is food in the countryside, but no transport. Walter reported, as do other cor respondents, on a bicycle.

Generally speaking, the people are relying on a British victory, but they know so little of what is going on that they are bewildered. The

of salvors.

Timber And Concrete

One of the simplest and most useful expedients evolved during the last war was the "patch." It was found that yawning holes in ships' sides could be temporarily patched with timber, and the Ad- miralty evolved a standard patch ready for Immediate uso.

די

This could be lowered over the hole and fixed in position by divers. The flooded hold could then be pumped out, and It the ship was aground she could be re-

floated and taken, possibly under her own steam, to a repair dock. Some Balvors became extremely expert at the use of the standard patch and a number of ships were saved in conditions which would have been regarded as hopeless a few years previously.

Ont of the must remarkable coses of salvage was the result of bold experiment. A ship lay in

a South American port with a gap- ing holo in her port side, and there were no facilities for repairing her. Yet somehow or other she had got to make the passage home.

The men' on the spot hit on the idea of building up a new side of concrete. A wooden mould was built against the ship's side, from within; this was filled with cement, and when it had hardened the "wall" was shored up with timber. The ship safely made the long passage, home, though the crew nd- mitted that there were several mo. ments during bad weather when they fully expected the concrete wall to cave in and the ship to go to the bottom.

Perilous Repairs

Another remarkable piece of: work was the salving of a monitor,

which was mined in Thinkirk Roads. Although almost half her bottom had been blown cut, she was saved by that Indomitable rescuer, of ships in distress, the harbourmaster of Dover. By shoring the upper deck with baulks of timber, work carried out under great difcully owing to reported air raids, the ship was made to Boat. In this precarious condition she was towed home and repaired. After the war she was sent as a fighting unit to the Far East.

Saivors often had very unex-p pected conditions to cope with. A meat ship bad been torpedoed in

the Channel and was run nahore near Gris Nez. When the British salvors went over from Dover to patch her up it was found impossi- ble to approach within a very con- siderable distance owing to the ap- palling smell.

On another occasion the oll had to run out a stranded tanker. With a very short time all the men at work in or near her col- lapsed owing to the fumes, and it was only with grent difficulty that they were rescued without a ca- sualty.

Roles Reversed

A tug went to the rescue of a disabled ship off the south coast, and was towing her in when she developed engine trouble. In the meantime, the engineers of the ship had been working hard, with the result that, the authorities: af the

Perhaps the most ingenious sug gestion of all came from an expert in refrigeration. He suggested that the water in a sunken ship should be frozen into solid ice by means of chemicals. "Ice floats," he said. The ship will come up without further trouble or the need of com-
