ships yesterday All woodwork was
stripped off exposed spots and sent

tain extent interior woodwork was also
removed and sent ashore. Even the
sailors wooden boxes were removed
from some Of the ships. These precau-
lions have been adopted to prevent. so
far as possible, the danger of flying

sent their personal valuables and be-
langings TO be stored on shore.
