The Newark Goes to Africa,

\ cable message was received at the
Navy Department today from Admiral
kirkland. commanding the South Atlantic
station, saying that the flagship Newark
left Rio de Janeiro this morning for Cape
Town, Africa, where she is to be locked
and cleaned. The Newark is very foul
from long stay i'm tropical waters and
needs cleaning badly. The dock at Cape
Town is the nearest one available for a
vessel of her size, and that is why she has
to make the long voyage entirely across the
Atlantic ocean merely to have her bottom
scraped. Her departure leaves the anti
quated Yantic alone on the South Atlantic
station.
