iron works and note what facilities Were
offered by the city for naval station
Friday morning he was shown through
the works and expressed himself As great,
" surprised at th-ir magnitude and capac-

had been led to suppose. lie was then
invited to join party of Baths leading
ship-builders and owners on a steamer
which had been secured to take them IL

al constructor might have IAN opportunity
for noting the many winnings up the riv-
or, which make its approach by stranger

At the conclusion of the trip Capt.

ly nothing lacking in Baths qualifications
for naval station. He stated that $50.

for iron shipbuilding and that skilled car
penters could readily adapt themselves to
metal work. He noted that the city was
