RECEIVERS AN OLD ANCHOR.
Capt. William Entwisle Makes In.
teresting Find in River.

An old anchor, of pattern used many
years ago was early last week recov-
cred from the Potomac by Capt. William
Entwisle of Alexandria, who has it at
his home. About ten days ago Capt.
Entwisle went down the river on a fish
ing trip and anchored near Fort Wash
ington to try his luck. When he had
enough of the sport and started TO raise
his anchor to leave it would not come up
in spite of all efforts. Aided by another
power boat the fouled anchor was
dragged across the river into shoal water
and the chain slipped and buoyed. When
Capt. Entwisle found an opportunity he
went down the river with appliances to
recover his anchor and raised it and
found it had fouled a big anchor. They
We're taken aboard the launch and car
ried to Alexandria.
There is much speculation as to the his
tory of the old anchor. From its condi-
ton 1t looks as if it had been in the
water for many years. From its size 1t
was on big vessel when lost and prob
ably belonged to one of the foreign ships
which in the last century were numerous
at the Alexandria docks when that port
was one of the big shipping centers OF
the country.
