SALVAGING FLEET TAKES SIX YEARS $2,000,000 Spent on German Ships Sunk at Scapa Flow London, Sept. 8 (UP) — Eleven years ago the huge German fleet, still proud in defeat, rode the waves in Scapa Flow. It was a pleasant sight to British admiralty e The fight had been hard. The spoils of victory would be sweet. Then suddenly one of the battle cruisers lurched forward and be- gan settling into the sea. Others followed and before the astonished eyves of British seamen the fleet disappeared below the waves. The Germans had opened the seacocks. They had scuttled their craft as a last act of defiance. After recovering from their amazement the admiralty officers turned their thoughts and energies %0 having the ships salvaged. Veteran shipping men and others ieontemplated the task but made no bids. Year after year the ships lay snugly in Davy Jones' Locker. When the admiralty had all but @bandoned hope of realizing on their victory, E. F. Cox, in his late thirties, made an offer. It was quickly accepted. Then Cox began a task which has been watched with interest oy the shipping world because of the many difficult obstacles that lay the path of success. Gathering around him some the best engineers and divers Europe, Cox directed the work to date has resulted in bringing to the surface later to be junked three battle cruisers, one battleship, one iight cruiser and 25 destroyers. Although he knew comparatively little about salvage operations, Cox realized he needed more than the usual equipment and purchased th submarine floating dock the Ger- mans had used, which he used in raising the destroyers. One of the most difficult tasks in the entire operation, it is said, was that of closing all deck and hull apertures left open when the fleet was scuttled. Cox's determination was dis- played while attempting to salvags the battle cruiser Hindenburg, weighing 28,000 tons. After months of hard work it had been raised to the surface but developed a dangerous list and had to be drop- ped back again to the ocean floor. Later, in order to counteract this list, Cox's workmen built onto the Hindenburg's side a block of con- crete weighing 9,000 tons. On be- ing re-floated. she developed a star- board list. Once more the cruiser ‘was dropped and another concrete block built. This ¢ the Hinden- burg floated. Six years have passed since Cox began his operations. His firm has spent to date more than §2.- 000,000. The profits are not known. of in MUSIC SOCTHES BRIGANDS How music soothed Chinese com- Tiupist brigands is told in letters re- cently received in Glasgow, Scotland, from Mr. and Mrs. R. Porteous, Scotch missionaries in China. The couple were captured on the road to Anful, and were held for $20,- 000 ransom each, but finally were released. Porteous wrote that for three days after their capture they had abuse heaped upon them. Their eck attitude semed to impress the brigands who gave Porteous an old damaged concertina to repair. He tied it with a string, and “squeezed” gome music out of it. Later, he and Mrs. Porteous sang some sings in English for the captors, after which the brigands became friendly. ed them with utmost consideration, and assured them their lives would be spared. “FIREBALL"” IN SCOTLAND What is believed to have been a luminous meteor fell and exploded recently on the farm of Captain A. Manson, near Kilblean, Scotland. Mrs. Manson said that everything had been unusually calm, when a loud hissing noise was followed by a torrific crash Flashes of light flew in all directions. Rushing to the house to protect her children she collapsed at the door. The arm of a painter working inside the house was paralyzed. He said the “fire- ball,” as it was called, locally, burst zeveral feet above the ground, and a hole was made in the earth. The hursting of the astronomical visitor was followed by a torrental down- pour of rain. treat- | TRADE SCHOOL GRADUATE DIES AFTER LONG FALL Henry Francis Johnsen, Injured When Pole Topples Over, Expires From Injuries, Crushed to the ground by an elec- tric light pole, which broke when he 2nd another lineman were at work, Henry Francis Johnsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Johnsen of Middletown, died Saturday noon, three days after the accident, at the Middlesex hos- pital.
