Philadelphia for assistance, but the fire
was got under control sufficiently to
oouutermand the orders. The principal
loss will be on the punch shed, where
there was great deal of heavy and ex-
pensive machinery. Much of this ma
ohiuery was new, and 1t will require
several months To replace it. The loss
in the binding shed will reach over
$4,000. The buildings themselves,
although sheds, were worth $4,000.
Both buildings and machinery were
fully insured. The fire throws about

stop the yard and suspend work on the
government cruisers for some time.
