"Tyrus", or 'Tyre', has a king. 
The king of Tyre is a type for Satan. And his government/religion, "Tyrus" is referred to as this "herself" which built a stronghold.

9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. (KJV) 

Yet, Satan's government is gathering up "silver" "as the dust". 
What is "dust"? 
It is dry elements of this earth. It is lacking the pure water. 

FATHER had need to first bring up this pure water, before forming the 8th day man Adam out of the clay, which was the elements of this earth (dust) with the pure water of life. 

Gen 2:6-7 
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (KJV) 

But, Satan and his government are not satisfied with just gathering up the spiritually dry people, but he shall also gather as many as he can which are as "fine gold as the mire of the streets". 

What is the definition of this "fine gold":

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. 
43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (KJV)

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (KJV) 

"and he will smite her power in the sea"
