spectators Many sail and steam yachts
were in the harbor, some of them galy
decked with flags; and buck boards and
other large carriages brought many from
the neighboring towns, while Belfast people
turned out in large numbers. The steamer
had for flags the national ensign and the
official flags of the department to which she
belongs. There were no official visitors and
the party on board comprised only the
captain, the government inspector, build
er and others connected with the work,
and few citizens. At 1913 O'Clock
the steamer moved slowly and gracefully
into the water and was saluted by whistles
from the steam craft in the harbor and the
factories on shore. She dropped anchor off
the shipyard, and later was towed to the
! Lewis wharf by steamer Castine The
steering gear of the dredger is not not yet in

fastenings broke and the dredger colided

about the rail, and one cat-head was broken.
