Bremertcn. Puget Sound. Wash. Dec. 8.
After the lapse OF nearly four years. the
famous battleship Oregon is again in the
dry dock at the Puget Sound Naval Sta
ton. where she lay in February, 1855, at the
time the Maine was blown UP in Havana
harbor The Oregon had been built in San
Francisco. but, because Of insufficient dock
ing facilities there. she had to proceed to
the naval station in Puget Sound to have
her bilge keels put on. While still in the
dry dock. the startling news OF the Names
disaster vas received. From Washington
quickly followed orders for the Oregon to
proceed around the Horn and re-enforce the
North Atlantic Squadron. Work on the
battleship was hurried along. and she was
soon ready for what proved to be q record
breaking trip. Secretary Long. In his an
nual report for 1885. made this mention Of
the famous run from Puget Sound to Key
West:
1.-THE performance Of the Oregon on her
TIP from Puget Sound was % exceptional
as to justify . brief reference. Leaving
Puget Sound on March 6. she made the long
journey Of over 1880 miles to Jupiter Inlet.
on the Florida coast, and was not delayed
q hour because Of her naehineEy. The
