Boston Navy Yard few days ago 10 join the blockade
squadron, broke down on the 10th, willie steaming
about seven miles All hour. She lay still over tight,
and next morning her engineers discovered that her
after standard which supports the reversing shaft, had
split in pieces. The casting, which IL arch shaped,
streng bened by projecting NIB, broke midway, at
point where triangulary shaped piece Of timber evil
IDENTIFY sawed out OF the nib had been replaced by
"lsth of soft iron, fastened by small tap bolt The
forward standard was similarly fixed but little rts-
tic filing and painting bid the treacherous work The
object Of the perpetrator OF this cowaTdy act If sup
posed TO have been the weakening Of the reversing
machinery 30 that the moment it would back water
the parts would give way. The engineer who de-
tailed for experimenting the fitting out Of the
cLinery of the Colorado and Of the Mississippi which
also broke down, Michael QUINN is strongly suspeced
of having accomplished these base evils. He was ap.
