Chiaro marble, as it is described, weighs upwards fries
tons, having been cut from the celebrated e"fisad

fourteen persons being employee. about it at the °De
The noise, however, caused by the breaking of the

escaped with the exception of an old man, who was
seriously hurt. The vessel being thus rendered ups so
viceable, the use of the Government pontoon .10(1,
