From Which He Ran His First Steamboats,
Old British Cannon Balls Below,

which Capt. Vanderbilt (afterward called
Commodore) ran the Gibbons steamboats,
to New Brunswick, N. j., in the second
decade Of the last century, was uncovered
yesterday by workmen digging In the sub
way loop at the Battery.
The pier was solidly primitive. The
piles were driven deep, and, although they
were not soaked with preservative chem
icals, they looked almost as good as II they
had been put down few weeks ago. They
were about Ave feet underground. The
pier was put together in fashion that
indicated that the dock builders OF those
days had habit, eoualled only by the con-
structors Of the Pyramids, Of building
things for all time.
The old city had 80 high an opinion OF
the pier that 1t did not care to 60 to the
expense and trouble OF tearing the structure
down. 1t simply shovelled dirt on top OF

estate Of the town into the shadows of
the Battery.
Below the piles that once rested on the
river bottom were found several old British
cannon balls. stamped with the broad
arrow" of the navy of King George III,
and some coins that used to pass at the
taverns Of the town in the days when fine
gentlemen In knee breaches and with silver
buckles on their shoes walked along the
