The whole group is thereupon towed into shallower water until the sunken vessel grounds-and the process is repeated. Needless to say, this is slow work...
...plugs. Then a six-foot pipe will be sunk through the decks; pumps having a lifting capacity of 5,000 tons of water an hour will be lowered. If everything is plugged up, the ship will become buoyant and rise to the surface. There are many "ifs" in the process, however. The divers may have great trouble in discovering all the openings. Bulkheads may be weak or damaged, may give way when pressure is put on them. It will be a great task...

Over ten years ago an engineer named Lohmann built an electrical smelting furnace which succeeded in dissolving iron, aluminum, sodium and other metals into new and dif- ferent substances, as well as making diamonds out of wolframite.
