The _Eurydice_ lay at first in seven fathoms and a half (forty‐five feet) of water, and to this must be added eight or nine feet of mud into which the wreck was embedded. Strong wire ropes were attached to the inner sides of the ports; the other ends of the ropes were made fast to the four floating hulls placed over and across the _Eurydice_, and when everything was ready and the tide at its lowest ebb, the process of pinning down was commenced—that is, the ropes were hauled “taut,” and made fast to the lifting vessels, so that as the tide gradually rose to its highest point the whole mass of lighters with the sunken vessel lifted as well. Then it was that the steam‐tugs took up their positions, and towed the ill‐fated craft towards shallower water, till she was left on a bank under the Culver cliff, with one side and her upper deck above the water at low tide. Even yet the efforts to float her were interfered with. Frequently all would be ready for lifting, when the sea would roughen, and everything have to be abandoned, the lighters returning to Portsmouth. It was raised partially in August, 1878, after four months’ continuous labour. After lying for a few days under the Culver cliff, the _Eurydice_ was again sufficiently lifted to clear the bottom, and towed together with the lifting vessels to St. Helen’s Sands. When lifted finally, and towed to Portsmouth by the _Grinder_, she had two tugs on her port side and one on her starboard, with their steam‐pumps working, and constantly pumping her hold. Brighton—“London by the Sea‐side” as it is often styled—is to many one of the most fascinating of the English watering‐places. It is both popular and fashionable, the resort alike of the masses and of the “upper ten.” Its position on the sea is charming, while at an easy distance are any number of pleasant sea‐coast and inland resorts. It has sprung up from a little fishing‐village to a town of at least 120,000 souls. One feature of the place is the solidity and elegance of its public and private buildings, while its streets are the best kept in the whole kingdom. It extends, with its suburbs Kemp Town and Cliftonville, for _four miles_ along the coast, and is in great part defended by a sea‐wall. The celebrated chain‐pier is 1,130 feet in length; while its Aquarium, already described in the proper place, is the finest in the world.
