William Lesslie, of Kingston, has performed an extraordinary feat in Bons fing the Steamship Bavarian, which WO years ain on Wye ltock, below Quebec, has created de wonder of the whole marine world.' Wrecking companies the Atlantic ocean attempted t» font the Bavarian. Experts were Lrongit from the United States and Sreat i Britain, but all their attempts prov ied uns LT Bavarian could not be bud, I from its positiam or the rock, and its owners had at last that further attempts would be in v, in. . t William Lesslie, of whom Kin ston to-day is more than proud, bal to be heard from, He had released the steamship Scottish King, which was dtrand ed on the Newfoundland shore and in as difficult o position. He used Compressed air method in that release, and he decided that he could float the Bavarian in like manner. A contract was entered into last August with the owners, by which Mr. Lesslie Was to receive half the value of the veesel should he release it, and he at at once prepared for the task. In three months he has succeeded in floating the Bavarian, and provine himself ono of the foremost wreckin~ experts in the world. Mr. Lesslic is exnected to clear $100,000 by his successful per- formance. ty men employed at the Bavarian. The divers were from New York, but were hot giving satisfaction, so he sent to Kingston for his old, expert "diver Matthew Murphy, at present a local post-office carrier, and the latter has superintended the diving work during the past two weeks. Ship Carpenter McCarthy, of this city, was also one of the foremen. With Murphy to de- pend upon for acourate work and re ports concerning the conditions under water, Mr. LesMlic was able to make rapid headway, and on Thursday the first attempt was made, and the ves sel began to move. On Sunday even- ing at high-tide she was completely afloat. "Nothing succeeds like success," said Henry Folger this morning. "Mr. Lesslie has achieved this in the rais ing of the steamship Bavarian, after wrockers on both sides of the water had pronounced it impossible." Mr. Lesslie is receiving wlegrams of congratulation from all quarters on the success of this most difficult un- dertaking. Heghas certainly. shown himself a man of pluck and courage, In the face of the expert opinion of British and American wreckers that Bavarian could not be rescued, his friends felt that he was undertaking a job that looked hopeless. But he had faith in his plans, and he floated a company which has floated the ship. Mr. Lesslie was - born in Kingston about sixty-five years avo. In hoy- hood he entered marine life, and won his way to the top. For vears he was with the Calvin company, here, and Quebec, where he represented them as eastern agent. Then he took over the Collins Bay Towing and Wrecking company. Of late years he has heen engaged in wrecking on the great lakes, and in the Gulf of St. Law rence. At the latter place he establigh- ed a wrecking station. His last big undertaking was the floating of the steamship Scottish King. which he took to Liverpool and sold. He is still full of vigor and enthusi asm. During the summers he spent much of his time at the Yacht Cluh house where he was one of the most popular members and enthusiastic over yachting ovents. No doubt, some kind of formal welcome will be ar ranged when he returns home. Confirmed The Report. Capt. Lesslie telegraphed from Montmagny. + Que.. to his brother, James Lesslie, of this city, saying the Bavarian was. afloat and would be towed to Quebec to-night. THE WINONA AGROUND. Board Cement.
