Monaay morning last on a yachting ex-
petition on the sloop Fannie, Captain
Jeff. Brannock, of Cambridge. The
trim little vessel reached Bay Ridge on
Tuesday evening, and the young men
having enjoyed themselves at the resort,
remained there during the past two days.
About 8 O'Clock this morning three of
the party went in bathing. While
sw inning towards the boat, young Lake,
one of the party, was taken with
cramps. Howard Reese who was a few
yards away Immediately went to his as
sistance. A struggle then followed be-
tween the two men. Lake lost control
of himself, and in his efforts to reach
shore, neally drowned Reese. Arnold

shore in about fifteen minutes. A yawl
boat was put in use and his body rolled
on it, in order to resuscitate him, but
in vain. The body was placed on the
beach and the rest of the party, who
were OH the grounds were informed of
the sad accident. In short time the
scene of the drowning was thronged
with people.

A DOUBLE DROWNING.
TWO YOUNG HEH MEET VlTERY GRAVES
Leah A. Ridgely, son of William
S. Ridgely Drowned in Front
OF His Fathers Residence
Carroll Lake of Cambridge. Loses His
Life While Bathing.

The sad news OF the drowning Of Leah
Ridgely, the llfteen-year-Old sou of Viii
liam :. Ridgely, reached this city about
six o'clock last evening. which threw n
gloom over a large circle of friends and
acquaintances of the, youth. The sud
accident occurred almost in front OF his
fathers residence, on the bay shore, in
the Third district, about ten miles from
nnapolis. The young man had gone
down to the shore with several Others to
go bathing or wading. 1t appears, how
ever, that the youth was wadlng on the
shore of what is known MS Crabs Point.
At that place the bottom consists large
ly of ilats. but flom the depth of hardly
two feet it deepens almost at once to
twelve or fourteen feet. At the distance
of probably one hundred feet from shore
the channel runs at the above depth,and
there is also hole OF considerable depth,
caused by the removal OF u foundered
vessel.
1t in c0njectured that the Young man
must have either stepped into one OF
these or have been carried there 10y the
tide, which runs at u tremendous rate.
1t was not known that anything had
happened to him until his absence was

NAVAL NEWS.
Engineer Dashielrs New Breech Gun
Trial Trip of the Olympia.

trial Trip or the Olympia.
The ordnance bureau of the Navy De
partment is about To make IA practical
test of Il new hreech mechanicism for
rapid-tiring guns, which. if it realizes
the expectations of the officers, will re-
suit in giving our navy the most simple,
cheap and rapid system of breech clos
ure yet known. The new breech is the
invention of Assistant Constructor Da-
shell, of Maryland, who devised the sys-
tenn upon which the greater number of
small guns in the navy are now built.
1t is as nearly automatic as can be at
tanned. One pull of the lever unscrews
the breech block, which is of the inter
rupted screw pattern and withdraws the
block while ejecting the empty cartridge
case, SO that the gun is ready for another
charge. by peculiar, but exceedingly
simple adaptation of the cam principle,
the number of motions required to be
made by the breech block are reduced to
two, the first unscrewing the block aud
the second throwing it clear of h e
breech, AT present three motions are
required.
The report of the government hoard
on the recent trial of the Olympia has
been received by the Navy Department

by the Secretary of tie Navy, who was
much gratified with the showing made
10y this vessel. The Olympia passed an
excellent inspection. She made 1876

speed, though it is not considered as the
maximum speed of the vessel, which
has heretofore exceeded q knots, the
present being merely "A trial under ordi-
nary circumstances and not speed test.
