The United States tug Fortune left the
navy yard at 5 O'Clock Monday morning for
New York, having in tow the schooner Mer-
rill G. Hart, with the remainder of the
launching ways on board. Some Of the
longest and heaviestssticks are said to be so
much decayed as to be of little value One
or two of the sticks broke in two of their
own weight while being loaded into the
schooner through her bow port, and her
captain said he wouldn't give hundred
dollars for his whole cargo.
Since the arrival of the U. S. S. Mononga-
hela at the navy yard she has put out from
125 to 100 tons of gun-trucks, blocks, Gle
waiting, screws, pivot beds, gun axles, howit-
zer wheels. old shells, etc. This material, a
large part of which is brass, is portion of
Trenton and Vandalia at Samoa, and in
stead of being taken out of the Monongahela
at Mare Island, Cal, was sent around in her
as ballast. The brass, and probably the
other metal, is to be taken around to Wash
lngton, to be worked over into shapes suit
able for use in the new cruisers.
