Tug Erg is Raised, Beached

HALIFAX, July .20 -<CP) — Straining salvage vessels hauled the sunken tug Erg to the surface today, and l0 bodies were removed from the hull of the little craft which sunk two weeks ago in Bed~ ford Basin with the loss oi l9 lives.

The l0 bodies were all that could be foilnd aboard the til-ton Erg. Apparently. the other nine victims had leaped from the tug before it sank after a collision with a big freighter July 6. Their bodies have not yet been recovered.

The Erg. carrying a group of Halifax shipyards workmen across the basin when she went down. sank in 250 feet nf water. With div- ers unable to work at that depth. cables had to be slung around her by salvage crews working from the surface Then, tugs and a giant floating crane. the Lord Kitchener. ilzragually inched her in toward

Today, she was beached beside a dock on the basin shore, quickiv pumped out dud tlin bodies remov- ed. Identification of the bodies was not made immediately. but it was expected to be completed tonight.
