1913, to obtain information regarding
the practicability of locating such a
yard here. That board went into the
resources and advantages of Pensa-

port of the hearing, together with
certain additional facts, as our argu-
ment for the location of the proposed
navy yard at this point.

cola, and we want to urge nothing
that will lessen the efficiency of that
station. 1t would seem, however
that on reservation of 1880 acre:

connection we beg to invite attention

Will Attempt to Raise Hull Of
Tug Flanders Sunk In Storm

ably attempt today to start raising
the hull of the steamer which went
down during the hurricane of Oct.
Is. Arrangements to that effect were
being made yesterday afternoon.
1t was announced yesterday that
the hull of the tug had been located
in perhaps twenty feet of water
some considerable distance from the
spot where the steamer went down
The upper works of the Flanders
floated from the hull and were found
almost intact. 1t was at first thought
when the smoke stack and part Oh
the house protruded above the surface
of the water that the steamer had
been located.
Steamboatmen believe that the hull
is unchanged, and that the raising
of it will be a comparatively cas-.
matter. The last seen of the steamer
