The steel cruiser Atlanta was examined In dry
dock yesterday by Admiral Gherard and Constructor
Pook and the Admiral a report to the secretary
of tho Navy, saying that She could be made ready
for sea in a few days The examination showed
that the hull had received but little damage by
striking bottom of Newport last summer, aud the
Admiral expressed the opinion that she must have
struck on sand and boulders, which would account
for the tips Of two of the propeller blades being
broken Of while little injury was done to the
ships bottom She had not boeu dooked since last
April and was extremely foul, but all the marine
parasites have been neatly scrubbed Oft and the
painters were busy yesterday putting on heavy
coat of copper paint. These are the only repairs
the Atlanta will need Ut present, and she VIII
probably sail the West Indies some day next week
The Atlanta Is handsome looking craft, and
Captain Bunce, who was pacing her deck, spoke OF
her which prove that he is proud of her In
spite Of the fact that she was built by John Roach.
Indeed, be took pains TO say that his report TO the
Secretary of the Navy had been greatly misrepre-
