PONTONIER AT BOATYARD.
U. S. Army Steamer to Have Her
Hull Painted.

To clean and paint hull, the United
States Army quartermaster depart
ment steamer Pontonier, Capt. Luckett,
is at Benefits boatyard. and will haul
out when tides allow. The Pontonier
is attached to Washington barracks.
and is used to transfer the men of the
Engineer Corps from this city to the
practice stations at Fort Foote, Md,
and during the summer to the new sta
tion at Belvoir, Va. 1t is stated the
Pontonier has trip or two to make
after being put overheard. but it is
probable she will be placed out of
commission for the winter in the latter
part of this month.
The Pontonier is so constructed in
four sections that they can be discon-
nected to be shipped by rail across the
country. and it was with this idea in
view that the army authorities had
her built for service in Cuba during
the Spanish American war. Together
they make a neat and efficient little
vessel capable of transporting several
hundred persons.

SEEK TO RAISE SCHOONER.
New Owners at Work on the jose
phine Keas at Occouuan.

Efforts are being made to raise the
two-masted schooner Josephine Keas,
which early in last week sank at Occo-
quan, Va, with a load of coal aboard
from Alexadria. The Keas on her way
up Occoquan creek struck a log and
started a plank, causing her to leak,
and when Occoquan was reached the
water was coming into the vessel so
rapidly that her pumps could not keep
her free and she went to the bottom
with her bow out Of water on the bank
and her stern down fifteen feet. Re
ports received from Occoquan state that
Carl Lynn and John Leary of Occoquan
have purchased the vessel as it lies,
and they are endeavoring to get her
up with every prospect of success.
When raised the hole in the hull of the
schooner will be repaired and she will
be returned to service with the wood
and lumber running fleet on the river.
The Josephine Keas is a scow-shaped
vessel Of twenty-five tons register and
was built at Bishopville, Nd, in 1895.
Alexandria is her hailing port.

TO REMOVE OYSTER SHELLS,
Scowload Will Be Taken to Alex.
andria Eyerv Dav.

To facilitate the removal of oyster
shells from the 18th street wharf mar
ket to the crushing plant at Alexandria,
where they are ground up into prod
uct largely used in poultry yards, two
large lighters have been placed in
service and it is proposed to take a
scowload of shells to Alexandria each
day in the week except Sunday.
Heretofore one lighter, making three
trips each week, has been in service but
oysters have been used in this city in
such large quantities this season that
this service could not keep them clean
ed up as desired by the District Off
cials. The second lighter was put in
service and it is thought that from
now on the oyster wharf will be kept
clear of shells. Not only does the Alex
andria plant take the shells shucked
by the houses on the wharf, but much
of those from the uptown shucking
houses is brought to the wharf and
sent to the crushing plant.

hard coal from Baltimore. consigned to
the post quartermaster at Washington
barracks, the three masted schooner
Lula NJ. Quillen arrived Saturday and

CLOSES THE CAREER
Of OLD-T|ME VESSEL
Board Condemns the Steamer En-
deavor, Whose History Dates
From Civil War.

After fifty-two years OF efficient Serv
ice with the coast and geodetic survey
fleet the old steamer Endeavcr has passe
her days of usefulness, according to i
board of experts, by which she was .ex-
amined at Baltimore recently, and will
be taken to Curtis bay to remain until
sold to the highest bidder. The En-
deavor, under command of Capt. J. b.
Boutelle, recently completed survey work
about the entrance to Delaware bay and
off Cape May and IIenlopen, and from
there was ordered to Baltimore for the
survey that ended in her condemnation.
The old steamer had an eventful ca
reer in the early years of her existence.
She was built with funds contributed by
the women of the Confederacy for serN-
ice as n gunboat, but was captured by
the federal forces when about completed.
vessel was armed and put in service
against her builders and designers.
In Service During War.
She did duty through the war. and at its
close was turned over to the coast and
geodetic survey service for duty in gath
ering data for charts of Atlantic coast
harbors. 1t is stated there is not a por-
to Key West, and in the gulf to the Rio
Grande, she has not visited.
The hull Of the old steamer is of live
oak, which accounts for her long life.
She needed but little hull repair work
until recently.
Several years ago the Endeavor was
employed in a survey of the Potomac
river from it's mouth to this city. and at
it's conclusion was laid up for nearly a
year in the harbor here, with only
earetaker aboarH
The Endeavor'is is lit feet long, 1S feet
beam and feet deep and has a speed
of about nine miles an hour. She car
ries a crew of five officers and twenty
two men. 1t Is understood that money
will be asked at the next session of
Congress to replace the Endeavor in the
coast survey service with modern craft.
The condemnation of the Endeavor
leaves but three coast survey vessels
or duty on the Atlantic coast. the steam
ers photographer and Bache and the
schooner Matchless. The Bache is now
at Norfolk undergoing repairs, the Hy-
drographer is making surveys on Long
Island sound and the Matchess is en-
ployed in coast pilot and survey work on
the Virginia coast north of Cape Charles.
