There were thirty-six dummy shells. and
TWENTY-FIVE carrying 200 pounds Of wet gun
cotton. These could not be received ut the

were brought alongside the Vesuvius! by
steam launches late yesterday afternoon.
The dummy shells will be taken out to-day.
and to- N orrow tho lighter with the loaded
shells will be towed to q safe place In the
