a Georgetown pier unloading a cargo of
building stone from New York for use on
one of the big new buildings in process of
erection here. The barge has aboard a
cargo of about 900 tons of the stone and a
steam hoist is being used to lift II from her

the point where wanted. On her recent trip
up the coast with load of lumber aboard
the Pacific sprang a leak and was taken
into the Delaware Breakwater In water
logged condition. There she was pumped
out and repaired and was able to resume
her voyage. She is one of the few barges
in service on the coast that. like Norwe-
gian or Danish vessel, is fitted with a wind

the efforts of the department in trying by
means of dress and equipment to make
the army as inconspicuous as possible.
