going the like alteration, and one of the coal-bunk-
ers in the forehold has been knocked away to
give additional room, temporary bunkers
having been made—one on each side on the man
deck. A guard is being made to cover the propeller
and protect it from feuling or being fouled by the
cable. Capt. Hudson and Lieut. C. H. Wells were
