Denial of Bad Repairing Work AT
Norfolk Navy Yard.

Norfolk, Va, June 1S-The report alleg.
ing the torpedo boat Gushing to have been
mutilated by the men who repaired her at
this yard recently is denied by Commodore
FarquhaT, the Commandant, and by Chief
Engineer J A. B. Smith, OF the yard The
latter said that he found the Cushing in
very bad condition when she came here for
repairs, and that she had been sent away
i'm excellent order.
Whatever ma have happened to her since
leaving here he ascribed to the inc experience
of her crew. The vessel has no engineer;
in fact, her engines being in charge Of The
ships maChinist, WHO in turn is under the
orders Uf an ensign, who admitted to Nj
Smith that lie knew little or nothing about
steam engineering. Again, the captain of
the Gushing is totally inexperienced in mat
tiers pertaining to the ships engines.
After being thoroughly overhauled the
Gushing made a trial trip, with Admiral
Brown on hoard, the trial being perfectly
satisfactory, the officers In charge joining
in the eneralcomIuendation.
