FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Dredging Operations In the Mersey
Disclose Remains of Vessel That
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey
docks and harbor board has been con-
Quoting dredging operations in the
neighborhood of the Burbo bank, one
OF the huge accumulations of sand
which impede the navigation Of the
Mersey entrance, and these have re-
suited In a find" of remarkable in
terest.
It is the remains Of steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date is long ante
rior to that of iron shipbuilding. OF
sound English oak were her timbers
and framing, to which circumstances
doubtless Is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape, and
have so wonderfully resisted the forces
of decay as to supply an abundant
quantity of material for the souvenir
manufacturer. Her beams, In point
of fact, are described as being as
f'hard as iron."
The machinery has practically per-
ished, but the engine bed-plates and
the funnel remain, and relics of pot
terry and other articles are plentiful.
The vessel, cleared OF superabundant
sand, is not only visible, but accessible
at low water, and has been visited and
examined by many interested people.
The prevailing opinion Is that she
is the William Huskisson, a paddle
steamer belonging to the City Of Dub
lin company, and trading between Liv-
erpool and the Irish capital, which OF
the 18th Of January, 1910, was wreck
ed on her passage to the Mersey. She
had, 40 passengers on board, of whom
% were rescued by the, ship Hudders-
field, and the remainder persisted.

entations from the citizens OF Liver

LABOR MEETING

Last evening there was a meeting
of the cOharts of Federaed labor in
Druid's hall on the west side. About
100 men were present. Cards had
been distributed and considerable in
terest was stirred up. Speeches were
made by District Attorney Lippert and
others, and some of the men who were
in charge of crews in wood working
establishments were asked to step out
and were told that their presence was
not wanted. These men resented the
treatment as they considered that they
were classed as laboring men and en-
titled to be present.
