REPAIRS TO THE ALAMEDA.
SAN FRANCISCO, October S.-The
steamer Alameda, in dry dock at Hunt
er's Point, was visited by many per-
sons yesterday. Captain A. F. Pills
hIIf ha Eyra1o
Board of Marine Underwriters, and
Captain John Metcalfe, surveyor for
Lloyd's, went out to the dry dock
early in the day and made an exami-
nation of the steamer as she lay in
dock, with every hole exposed in her
bottom. Moore & Scott, who are max
ing temporary repairs to the vessel, had
a force of mechanics at work through
out the day. The Alameda, it is ex-
pected, Will leave the dry DOCK this
and return to her slip at Pa
cific street wharf to discharge the 400
tons of freight remaining in her hold,
and later the underwriters will ask for
bids for making permanent repairs to
the vessel. 1t is believed that the Ala
media will be able to resume her SER
vice for the Oceanic Company within
two months or less. The cost of her
repairs, roughly estimated, will amount
to about 100000. /.
The most serious injury SO far dis !
covered is the big hole under the port
after boiler, which was partially stop
ped up by Diver G.. o. Abrahamsen be- 1
fore the Alameda was removed from
her perilous position on the reef. 1t
will not be until some time today, how .

nand of the Alameda when she went
ashore, stated late last night that there
we're about thirty holes in her hull,
to estimates made by the I.
ships officers.
