second attempt at exhausting the Ba-

tial success. The Steamer was in good
working order and threw two streams

fair test of the capacity of the engine
In twenty five minutes the reservoir
gave signs of exhaustion, having only
about a foot or more of water remain

could have been prevented the reser-
voir could have been exhausted in ten
minute. But this fact does not prove
the inutility Of the reservoirs. for the
quantity of water ESTIMATED at over
one hundred barreIs) would extinguish
a very considerable fire, if used judi
