Capt. Hosiey. who has been charged with
the task of towing the big dry dock Dewey
from Solomon's Island to Olongapo. on
Subig bay. Luzon, was at the Navy Depart
ment today to receive the final Instructions
and to acquaint the officials with the details
Of the plan which he has prepared for that
remarkable undertaking.
At present the big dock hes off Solomon's s
Island, in Chesapeake bay, and is secured
by four great cables, one at each corner, to
as many big mushroom anchors. The day
after Christmas will begin the work of un-
mooring the dock from these attachments,
and 1T Is estimated that at least two days
will be occupied in doing that and in fasten-
ing the towing lines to the bride at the
end of the dock and preparing for the start,
which will be made Thursday the 2Sth in
stant. Because Of the great difficulty and
risk involved in anchoring and unmooring
this vast structure, 1t is planned that the
dock shall never once stop after leaving
Solomons Island until 1t reaches the en-
trance to the Suez canal, If indeed it will
be necessary to do so there.
