Major Raymond, Of the United States

specifications for the removal OF the hull
Of an iron vessel, which be publishes as
having been discovered buried under the
sand In the Delaware river, nes Bulkbead
bar. The most careful inquiry among
old river men failed TO bring TO light any
clue rs to the character Of the vessel or
the time when she was buried beneath
the waves.
A Philadelphia paper said further
Investigation showed that the hull was
about 90 feet long and probably that Of
steamer, but beyond that nothing can be
ascertained rs TO It's character
until brought to the surface
The matter was at once reported to
Washington. and Major Raymond was
authorized to have It removed. Bids for
the work will probably be advertised for
within a few days. The removal OF the
submerged hull will have an important
bearing on the Improvement Of the chan
mel, IS IL will prevent the deposit Of
sand and other material at that point,
the present shoalness being undoubtedly
due to the old hull catching the sand
