DEWEY AT JOURNEYS END.
The Mammoth Steel Structure Safe In the
Philippines.

Manila (By Cable. - The drydock
Dewey arrived at Olongapo Monday
morning The trip from Singapore was
uireventful
The drydock Dewey is the largest steel
floating dock in the world and was con-
structed for the United States govern
ment by the Maryland Steel Company,
at Sparrows Point
The Dewey and her string of towing
vessels left Solomons Island December
%, 1905, under the charge of Commander
HoSley for its I4,oOO-mile tow.
Several mishaps occurred on the way
to the Philippines, though none OF them
were serious. Twice it was adrift, and
for two weeks before it reached Gibral-
tar no word of it was heard and consid-
cradle anxiety was felt.
In the Mediterranean the towing ca
bleS were broken in a storm off Malta,
and the great mass was at the mercy
of the waves for 20 hours, but its com
plete seaworthiness was demonstrated
and no damage was done except a few
minor strains.
The Dewey cost $I.I24,ooo and is 500
feet long. 100 feet wide between its walls
and O. feet i'll height After it was
launched at Sparrows Point it was taken
to the deep water off Solomon's Island
for tests.
The vessleS that conveyed the Dewey
are the Glacier, which is the flagship
of the fotilla. and the colliers BrutuS,
Caesar and Potomac.
The Dewey was 1913 days making the
trip, which was a daily average of 72
miles.
Olongapo is in Subig Bay and is the
site OF the new naval station of the
