NAVAL STATION NOTES.

United States army dredge. Sabine,
is in dock undergoing minor repairs.
most OF which consist of work on
her tail shaft, and seraping and
painting This vessel will probably
unlock temporarily to allow the
United Fruit Company steamship
Turrialba to go in dock for a few
days.
The army dredge, Galveston. will
probably be at the station about the
nth for docking. and a thorough
overhauling- The extent OF the work
to be done on this vessel is not
known at the present time. but il is
thought she will be at the station
for from three to six weeks. It is
anticipated that the work will be
done by the naval station force, in
which case there will be two or three
vessels undergoing repairs at the
same time.
Naval Constructor Wright has re-
turned from a flying visit to Peusa-
cola. Fla, where he went TO get the
necessary data with which to make
estimates for extensive repairs on
the General Robert T. Svartwout, a
vessel belonging TO the quartermas-
ter's department OF the army. Should
this work come to the naval station
it is considered that It will I'LL in the
gap between the completion OF the
work now in progress on the Sabine
and that to be undertaken on the
Galveston. and the arrival Of naval
vessels to be ordered here for re-
pairs
