Bob Bennett of French Camp; one niece, Mrs. Tom Kelley of WILL RESCLE CAIRO Diver Sam Bongiovanni, left, and Capt. W. A. Bisso, of New Orleans, are obviously happy about the progress made so far in the raising of the Cairo.

It won't be long, they promise. Rip-Tide, was itself raised from the floor of the Gulf of Mexico by Capt. Bisso. Bisso has amassed huge amount of heavy equipment at the scene, and he has even larger barges, so big that the Cairo probably could already be out of her muddy grave, except for the fact that the barges are too big to bring up the Yazoo River. On hand now.

as they have) been all through most of the salvage operation are Fd Bearss, U. S. Military Park historian, who with Al Banton and Don Jacks, Military Park personnel, actually located the Cairo in 1957, and Ken Parks of Jackson who made the first dive down and confirmed the fact that the Cairo was actually in the river. Observing much of the activity, also is H. V.

Cooper, chairman of the Operation Cairo Committee. ALWAYS A CROWD And, there's always an audience. Condidering where the Cairo is that is a real show of interest. To get to the site you drive about four miles up Highway 61, turn left on an obscure, unmarked gravel road which By EISIE MAY fHWIBF.RS rr Stat Editor VICKSBURG It is just matter of rime. But time moves nh, so slow, in a salvage operation.

If you look hard in one spot you can see a shadow of some of the frame work on the bow of the Federal Gunboat, Cairo, which was sunk in the Yazoo River Dec. 12, 1862. For spven years now since efforts have been made to raise the old Ironclad, one of a flotilla of five warships sent down to battle the Confederates. Instead, a Confederate mine sent her to muddy bottom of the Yazoo, and there she has lain for nearly 102 years. Within a few days, however, it is almost certain that the Cairo will see daylight again.

All of her guns have long since been removed; many, many items of equipment have been carefully taken off and are being preserved for the day that the Cairo will in reality become a museum at the waterfront in Vicksfourg.

The Cairo is cradled between these barges, the bow being in the foreground where guywires form a triangle, and the stern 170 feet distant lies at the edge of the two-story dredging barge. Photos by Elsie Chambers DYNAMITE BLAST ror. Urge your personal Inter Clyde McKee, Dr. W. D.

But people have been finding the way. They come not only from Vicksburg, but from all around the area. Once the Cario is up, however, that route will be closed to the public, and to the Cairo spectators must come up by boat or walk in from the other side of the river.

The spectators like many of the people officially connected with the project come and wait and look, and take pictures. Some bring chairs, some sit on the banks, other spread blankets. Some bring lunches, other go and return, all hoping to be there when the Cairo finally comes alive again. Some lucky ones will be there one of these days. silt from the upstream side of the Cairo; giant cranes pulled four or more huge logs away from the downstream side of the old boat; on Friday afternoon a 13 by 15 foot section of the port side located between the No.

3 and No. 4 guns pulled loose and was hauled to the surface; on Sunday afternoon another piece of heavy oak planks pulled away; and all the time the work of putting more cables underneath the Cairo went on, stopping off and on for the diver, Sam Bongipvanni, to go down and feel around the stern of the ship and for jetting out mounds of silt and debris.

"But about two weeks ago the NAACP (the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) wanted to come into Natchez to hold a meeting. I knew both races were impulsive.
