THE C0LUMBIA's INJURY.
So TriHing ms TO Surprise the NavnI
Court of Inquiry.

tBy Associated Press)
PHILADELPHIA . me 9.-The big
cruiser Columbia is resting on the blocks
In the dry dock at the League Island
Navy Yard high and dry. All of the
water was pumped out Of the dock this
morning, and a reporter Of the Asso-
ciated Press made a personal inspection
of the injury 10 her bottom, which was
Inflicted during the recent sea trial of the
cruiser.
The indentation which has caused 80
much comment. and which Is now being
inquired into by the Naval Court of In
quiry. Is scarcely perceptible. A close
inspection Is necessary to discover that
there Is any injury at all.
The dent, or more strictly speaking,
""scrape,' Is on the starboard side and
directly underneath the engines. 1t Is
on the keel plate, about four inches from
the 4 eel, and extends along the bottom
OF the cruiser for about ninety feet. The
been made by a jagged rock.
Boss Carpenter Spears said that he
could not imagine how so slight a dent
could break the cement which lines the
inside Of the hull
1t can be noticed that the injury
caused the big cruiser to leak slightly. as
water exudes from the inside along the
keel line.
The Court of Inquiry took a look at
the Columbia to-day, and its members
were as much surprised as the attaches
OF the Navy-Yard at the apparently tri-
fling nature Of her injury.

A DOUBLE RESCUE.
BIZ SaVing o. Ship, Grit Vas Enabled to
Keep His Schooner.

A milk-white beach of coral SAM on
which were strewn thousands Of exoui-
site shells and strange sponge forms.
In front, dancing blue waters OF a South
ern sea, stretching away into infinite
space and rufied into flashing white caps
by the strong breath of the trade wind,
Back of the beach stood a dense grove
of cocoanut palms. stateliest n most
graceful of trees. The myriad slender
tips of their huge leaves rustled in the
warm wind like the sharp patter Of rain
drops in a heavy shower. Down where
the white trunks shot. tall and slender,
to the dim arches OF the living roof all
was in dark, cool shadow, fiecked now
and then by dancing points of golden
sunlight.
Mingled with the salt breath of the
sea was a faint odor from spathes of
corn-colored blossoms high up among the
leaf crowns. Beneath these hung clus-
tiers of fruit in all stages of development,
from the size of a marble to that Of a
football. On the ground lay scores OF
the great brown, ripened %cocoanuts, of
one cared to pick them up. They were
protected by tough three-cornered husks
80 thick as to more than double their
actual size.
ON one Of them, turned on end, sat a

The object on which his eyes were fixed
was a small schooner moored a hundred
yards from shore. She was not more
than thirty feet over all in length, but
was broad OF beam and solidly built.
The month was March and the beach
was that OF one of those low-Cut, fertile
Florida keys that form the southernmost
limit OF the United Stftcs territory.
The boy was John Albury, commonly

The schooner was the Polyanthus, for

Late that afternoon the schooner Poly.

he discovered were OF perfect intelli-
