In his annual report to the secretary Of
the navy, George W. Melville, engineer.
in-chief Of the United States navy, and
chief of the bureau of steam engineering,
points out the necessity of establishing
machinery Iepair stations for war vessels
at several Of our navy yards. As the fine
stone dry dock at the Boston yard is now
in order, and will be more used than
formerly, he recommends that this yard
be again made a repair station, as there

can be made at no other time. rs

MANY VISITORS
Witnessed the Efforts Of Men to Float the
Steamer, Irrawaddy.

Asbury Park, N, j., Nov. 10.-The
steamer Irrawaddy, ashore here, was the
attraction, today, for thousands of
visitors. The strong south current car
ried the vessel ahead about 100 yards dur
ing the night. She was also about 0 feet
further shoreward than when she struck.
This morning, tug took off the passen
gers, who were sent to New York
At high tide, two immense hawsers
were attached to the tugs for two hours.
They strained ON the cables but the vessel
did not bulge an inch portion of her
asphalt The cargo was thrown into the
sea to tighten her. The wrecking tugs
Will try at high tide tomorrow morning,
to float the vessel. 1t is doubtful if she
can be pulled off until all her cargo is
removed. Captain Byers is not blamed
for the accident as heavy fog enveloped
the coast when the Irrawaddy went
ashore and the captain took frequent
soundings.
