The Brooklyn.

Saturday board Of survey, consisting Of
Capts. j. b. Coyle, James Balm, Joseph w.
Dyer, Charles III. Chase, b. W. Jones, port
warden, and George w. Beal Of the Portland
Company, was held on the Brooklyn. A. A.
Strout, Esq, was also present as attorney of
the line. The object Of the survey was 10 ex-
anime the condition OF the steamer and report
upon the feasibility Of floating and repairing
her.
After the board had inspected the vessel
Capt. Merritt of the New York WreckiHg Co.,
which has taken the contract to raise the steam
er. gave his opinion Of the wrecked steamers
condition substantially as follows: He has ex-
amined the steamer all over, with the excep-
tion Of about seventy feet Ia her center, and
finds 1t ell right-no hogging, and even the
deck bolts are not particle strained. The
seventy feet not examined is filled with grain
in bulk, and this is being rapidly removed, and
he expects TO be able TO examine forty feet
farther. He further stated that providing the
remaining thirty feet is in a very bad condition
(thoagh he does nos think It is), he can put in
two bulkheads. filled with casks or some other
buoyant material. he was very confident the
steamer could be floated and repaired so as
even to make the passage to Europe safely.
II is understood the board will report in ac-
cordance with Capt. Merritt's views. 1t is
thought il will cost S75 900 to float and repair
the steamer.
