view to adding them 10 the transport service Ths
Niagara was bought by the Navy Department for
a distng ship. She proved failure in that re-
spect and after a trip or so a collier, was used
an ammunition supply ship.
The Scipio is the mysterious boat which was
picked up of the coast at the opening Of the var
loaded with ammunition which was needed for The
English guns on the New-Orleans
1t Is said that the Navy has no more use for
these boats and has intimated 10 the War Depart.
ment that It would be willing to dispose Of them
at q reasonable price II the War Department can
use them transports.
The Niagara is about $50 feet long. and has q
displacement OF 400 tons She is in many ways
admirably adapted for transport. and probably
will be accepted by the War Department
The Scpio is about the same size as the Niagara.
but her machinery is not In good condition. she
Is in other ways said to be undesirable
