The story of how one of Britain's largest battleships went on tho rocks nt full speed and was successfully refloated by the Admiralty is told by Mr. David Masters In an article on the miracles of nival salvage in World's Work. The battleship in trying to avoid a patrol boat was taken but of her course by heavy weather, and went ashore. The double bottom was flooded, and the outer skin riddled with - holes Everything movable was taken out of the ship. A steel plate was fitted by divers over the damaged floor of the stokehold, and a thick poultice of cement spread over it to make the patch watertight. The stokehold was then pumped out and the water in the double bottom was forcer" out under pressure from huge air pumps. In this way the battleship was lightened Diffidently to enable her to be towed off. While the work was proceeded she was protected by screens of submarine hunters, who were on the alert day and night. THE COAL SHORTAGE.
