AMONG THE LAUNCHES.
Pleasure Craft Under Repair-Cygnus
Sinks at Wharf,

The steam launch India, belonging to Mr.
]. F. Costello of this city, which has been
in service at Colonial Beach throughout the
summer, was brought to this city several
days ago for repairs. Wednesday night she
was taken to Reagan's boat yard to be
hauled out on the railway for repairs, but
during the night she sprang a leak and
sank in the dock adjoining the railway
She was lying yesterday with only the top
of her house showing above the water She
will be raised at once, put on the railway
and given a caulking from stem to stern
The engine and boiler were removed from
the hull of the old steam launch Cygnus
at Forsberg's wharf, several days ago, and
the light hull was towed around to the dock
ahead of the berth of the United States
army Quartermaster's department tug
Lieutenant Alonzo Gushing, where it filled
and sank. 1t is understood that no attempt
will be made to raise the old boat until the
dock in which she lies is wanted for other
purposes.
The steam launch Teaser was yesterday
taken into the boat house used by the Dis
trict harbor police launch Major Sylvester,
and using the powerful chain hoists with
which the house Is provided, the stern of
the launch was lifted clear of the water in
order to make some necessary repairs to
her rudder.
The power launch Culprit Fay, owned in
this city, went down the river few days
ago on a cruise on the river and on her
way home Wednesday off Indian Head her
engine became disabled and the launch was
rendered powerless to proceed. The tug
Camilla which was coming up the river
went to the assistance of the disabled craft
and lowed her to this city, where repairs
to the engine will be made.
The Culprit Fay was formerly the sailing
sloOp Of the same name, and was one of
the fastest and best known of the pleasure
craft owned here. About a year ago her
mast and sail were removed and she was
converted into power boat, large gaso-
line engine being installed aboard. She will
be ready for service again within the next
day or two.
