The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1895-12-12

The unfortunate battleship Texas
has had another breakdown. She went
ont on full steam trial trip from New
York Thursday morning, with the OBJ
iect of making sure her machines would
work all right, but was soon brought
up at the powder station at Tomkins-
vile, Staten Island, with her stearing
gear crippled. 1t is estimated that
about five days will be consumed in
making the necessary repairs to fit the
ship for another trial.
For the past few days the Texas has
been tied up to the dock at the New
York navy yard undergoing a steam
dock trial. The performance of the
engines is reported to have been very
satisfactory, although it was not posi-
bile to speed them to their full capacity
without endangering the dock. The
air pumps and condensers, which have
been regarded by certain critics as too
small, showed themselves amply capa-
bic of doing all required Of them, and
their was every indication that the ship
would run of a successful trial.
