weeks ago for repair work, is lying at
the foot of h street southwest with ma
chlnists, boiler makers and other me-
chanics aboard overhauling every piece
of machinery aboard the machine Dig
ging machinery, pumps and engines of
all kinds are receiving needed attention
so that when the machine is again ready
to go into service 1t will be in the best Of
order. new smokestacE is building
and will shortly be placed in position on
the dredge and the house and living
quarters of the crew are to be painted

ployed in dredging work on the chan
nels in the vicinity of this city several
times in the past five years 1t did con-
siderable work in deepening the channel
into the harbor and in the Eastern
branch, and last summer and fall was
employed in deepening the cut into Mount
Vernon and charging the basin at the
wharf.
When the gale began to blow Wednes-
day night there was general doubling
oyster wharf, SO as to prevent any of
them going adrift. Lying at the face of
the wharf abreast of each other were six
or eight vessels. and in the middle of the
fleet was the schooner Maud S. Every
thing would have gone we'll had the
samson post of that schooner been strong
enough to stand the strain of the ves-
sells lying on the outside, pulling and tug
ging at it in the gale. But 1t wasn't and
in the middle of the night in the hard
est part of the gale it broke. and the
masters of several vessels awoke to find
themselves adrift. There was a hurried
dropping of anchors which held the YES
sells in the harbor until early yesterday
morning, when they warped back to the
wharf. Except for the broken samson
post of the Maud S.. no damage was done
and the paint on the vessels sides did not
have another scratch on it.

Capt. Larramore. which arrived here
early in the week with a cargo of lum-
Der from Newbern. N. c.. affected quick
unloading. SO that 1t could get away from

Capt Hover of the Gallaudet College
football team expects to be able to develop
an aggregation that will make 1t warm
for some of the big teams on the schedule
The back field will be all veterans con-
sisting of Sharp, Mosey. Brick and Howe
This Is a speedy quartet, and what is
more they know how to manipulate the
pigskin. Sharp is the big fellow who
played such havoc with GEORGETOWN al
the opening of the 'O7 season. He was out
of the game during the latter part of that
fall and did not return to school last
September. but word lately received would
indicate that he is to resume studies at
the opening of the next school year
Hover, who Is the newly chosen leader
is also tower Of strength in his posi-
ton.
The center line will be heavy and
strong, but for the ends the Mutes will
have to get a couple of new ones. Nor
ris who did SO eXcelently on the reserves
should make a strong bid for one extreme,
while the other will probably be taken by
a first-year man.
Just who will do the coaching has not
as yet been decided on. Reites did some
great work in this line last fall, and the
Kendall Green crowd would like to see
him back. but 1t seems that there is moth
ing doing. AS there number of 10
cal men capable of training the Mutes il
is not at all likely that an outsider will
be hired.
Manager Robinson has only arranged
definitely the first three games of his
schedule. AS usual, they will open the
season against Georgetown. meeting the
Hilltoppers October 9. A week later they
journey to Chestertown, Md, where they
run up against the warriors Of Washing

the home grounds will be November g.
