Passing Of Old Boats.

The old ferry steamer Columbia, which
was burned about three years ago, all her
upper works having been destroyed, and
which has been lying here since the accl-
dent, is being wrecked at the wharf foot of
N street southwest. force Of workmen
are aboard her removing her engine and
machinery, boiler and everything, leaving
only the bare hull. 1t is stated that the
hull will be used for large houseboat
which the purchasers of the burned steam
er will build in the early spring. Although
the house was burned almost entirely off
the Columbia, her hull was but little dam
aged and can be again made to serve some
useful purpose. The stripping of the boat
will require several days.
The old Randall line steamer Kent, which
was sold to junk dealers at Alexandria,
after lying at Reardon's wharf out of serv-
ice for about two years, is also having her
machinery removed by her purchasers. As
soon as It Is out of the old hull the boat
will be raised tand taken to some point on
the river shore where she can be set on
fire and burned, this being the quickest way
to remove the woodwork to get at the metal,
all that is of value in her.
