Will Rejoin Halves of Vessel Shattered in Nova Scotia Gale Halifax, May 15 (BUP).—After being broken in two on Flint Ledge off Egg Island, near Halifax, the 2,280-ton Cardiff freighter Graig is about to be pieced together again in Halifax. Given up at first as a total loss, the Graig's two sections were later salvaged from positions one-half mile apart and towed here. Salvage men described the operations as the strangest in the history of the American Atlantic seaboard. The Graig grounded on Flint Ledge in a dense fog and heavy sea several hours after departure from Halifax May 4. Several days passed before salvage vessels could approach. In the meantime, Captain D. G. Davies of Glentive, Wales, and his crew of thirty-four took to the lifeboats and landed at Egg Island. Continuous pounding by heavy seas broke the Graig in two, and the stern half drifted off and grounded on Transport Ledge, onerhalf mile away. Salvage vessels first succeeded in pulling the forward half off and towing it to Halifax. Two days later the stern was refloated and salvaged. Practically all of the cargo of 3,000,-000 feet of lumber was saved. Salvage operations were carried out by the Maritime Towing & Salvage Company, which only a short time before salvaged the Liverpool tanker El Ciervo, which grounded on Thrum Cap at the entrance to Halifax Harbor. Both operations were directed by Salvage Master Captain R. Featherstone.
