tree.
The method of remedying tho defect
discovered in the stern post IL what is
known 20 foundrymen as burning" and
this was successfully done at East Brain
tree yesterday afternoon. The process OF
burning" consists OF cutting out the
cracked portion OF casting. wedgng
pieces of metal into the crevice and then
heating the particular part OF the cast
ing until the wedges melt and unite with
the two ends.
II r. said that any part OF a casting
which has been burnt is usually strong
or than any other part, so that there will
be- no danger Of the stern post in the Bos-

So rapidly has tho work of framing up

been put into place and the men say that
they can easily set them up at the rate
of IL pairs day. At this rate. next Tues
day and possibly earlier will see the

The frames which are now in place are

The repairing of the stern post relieves
the situation immensely, and as soon as II
