Progressing but could obtain reliable information
concerning her. The ship Sarah Parker discharged
most of her cargo, to ascertain where she leaked.

found she had been strained in her waterways knees

and under starboard main chains, with various other
damage. Took in six TO seven inches OF water per
hour. The estimate Of repairs were found To be TOO

thing being done by hand, much time Is lost and
money unavoidably expended.
