'M Six Years \JF* London.--BH even, years ago thehugo German fleet, still proud in defeat, rode the waves in Scapa Flow. _ It was a pleasant sight to British admiralty ey«<. The fight bad been hard. The spoils of victory would be sweet Then suddenly one of the battle cruisers lurched forward aad began settling Into the sea. Others followed and before the astonished eyes of British seamen the fleet disappeared below the waves. The Germans had opened the seacocks. They had scuttled tf*^:cra&:j as a last act of defiance. ; Offer Is Accepted^ After recovering from their amaje ment the admiralty <>flUeis turned their thoughts and energies to Imving the ships salvaged. Veteran shipping men and others contemplated the task, but made no bids Year after year the ships lay snugly in Davy Jones' lccker. When the admiralty had all but abandoned 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 whjvrh has been watched with interest by the shipping world because of the many difficult obstacles that lay in the path, of success. Gathering around him some of the, best engineers and divers in Europe, Cox directed the work to date, and has resulted in bringing to the surface, later to be junked, three battle cruisers, one battleship, one light cruiser and twenty-fiv^ destroyers. Although he knew comparatively little about salvage operations, Cox realized he needed more than the usual equipment and purchased the submarine floating dock the Germans had used, which Ije 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. Determination Wins. Cox's determination was displayed while attempting to salvage 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 dropped 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 concrete weighing 9,000 tons. On being refloated she developed a starboard list. Once more the cruiser.was dropped and another concrete block was built. This done the Hindenburg floated. Six years have passed since Cox began his operations. His firm has spent to date more than $2,000^006. The profits are not known. ?--• '<>' A pretty fal Saturday after* home of Mr. and Mrs. €3|tea Lara oft when their daughter, Sytvta, became the bride of Mr. Carl Gustltfvson of Woodstock. Rev.
