This vessel 1ns been undergoing repairs at /
tie Navy Tard, and was under orders to sail i
this morning. She sprung a leak last night,
however, and Capt; Jones, tie active and Wig
Yard, had to send his men on board to pre-
vent her sinking. The Captain Of the Sangn-
mon could do nothing with his crew. They |
are lawless set. One Of them stole 5000 !
from IN officer Last week; and Capt, Jones
was t~o or three times compelled to place
where they sleep, with orders to shoot down
any man WHO attempted to leave the build
ing. The officers and men dread these noni-'
tors, and Will not 60 to sea In them, If they
can possibly help it. They are as 1ncomfort-
able . craft to live in as one can well conceive
Of The true way Is to send wooden gun
boat with each Monitor and let the sailors
live on board it, except few for taking care
of the vessel When they SO into action the
Crews could go on board, but only then.
