The schooner NJ V. B. Chase was hauled
on the marine railway at Bath Friday to stop
a leak. She had nearly three feet of water
in her hold when taken out. 1t took several
hours to locate the spot as the vessel is
coppered. The water in the vessel would
not run out and it was decided that it must
be somewhat near the light draft line. In
the effort to locate the leak the usual course
was adopted. BY that method the place
where the water had found its way into the
hold for several months, the vessel having
leaked badly in that time, could not be
found. BY watering the vessel with force
pump the leak was found. 1t was in the
stern post, about six feet above the keel
where piece had been put in some months
ago at the Portland dry dock
