Sunken Boat Partially Righted After Long Battle in Water
_______As a result of thismorninb's pumping operations on the sunken lightship Milwaukee, No. 95, at the Racine Boat Manufacturing company's west wharf, the ship was put on even keel. It was then permitted to settle back to the bottom, although it is now righted.
