WORK UPON COALING
DOCKIMPROvEMENT
HAS BEEN HELD UP
DELAY WAS CAUSED BY SINK
ING OF PILE DRIVER, AND
LOSS OF ENGINE AND BOIL
Frs SEVERAL NIGHTS SINCE.

Instead of having the improved
eoaling appliance at Muscogee wharf
ready by the middle of February as
had been the plans of the firm which
is installing the improvement, it will
be delayed some considerable time,
it is thought, because of the loss Of
machinery which was suffered when
the pile driver sank, the engine and
boiler being lost The pile driver was
being used to drive piling some so to
So feet in length, and when this work
was halted, IL meant delay IN the
structure all over.
The pile driver, it was stated, was
the property Of the railroad company,
and was said to have been washed
against the side Of the coal wharf,
pounding heavily and continuously
during the night, gradually filling
with water and finally overturning.
The coaling Of ships at that dock
at present is done under very difficult
arrangement. One steamer at the
time may reach the coal chute, and
the vessel has to be in Just certain
berth before coal Is supplied, It re-
quires at present a much longer time
than usually to fill steamers bunk
ers, and this is exasperating, to say
the least, as compared with the for
ner excellent bunkering record of the
port. While the work is now done
under extreme difficulty, according ia
shipping men, it will be so for only
few weeks, for when once the i'm
proved facilities are ready for use
steamers may be loaded very rapidly
and bunkering will be but an hour OF
two, according TO calculations of those
who have studied the conditions and
possibilities Of the new arrangement
