 Five or Six Feet Thick.
 In many places it is five or six feet thick and can only be removed by the use of streams of water projected by the most powerful pumps. This Is es- peciaIly to be observed on the star board side of the quarterback, which is completely buried under great banks of the mud.
 Slight Leakage in Cofferdam.
 The water level in the cofferdam to- night stood at ten feet below normal, which is somewhat higher than it was this morning. owing to a cessation of pumping and a consequent slight pec- necessitate the caulking of some sec tions of the cofferdam.
