was delivered and arrived here yes
terday morning about 9:15 o'clock.
after considerable difficulty -ncoun-
tered since its departure from the
navy yard Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
The pilot of the tug towing the
Newton. while off Mount Loretta
shore, missed the channel. which
runs very close to the shore at that
point. and a her ashore. With the
assistance of three other tugs from
the navy yard, she was again taken
to deep water and again was safely
berthed at the foot of Fayette street,
its permanent berthing place.
Walter w. Wigman has secured
from Commander Hoffman and Ad-

priation of $500. which may be rails
ed 10 81, 900, for the purpose of
dredging the space adjacent to the
Bakelite dock. This dredging viii
commence in a few days, so that the
training ship may go into the pier.
A considerable difficulty was in
CURED in mooring this immense ship
due to a rather stiff off-shore breeze
and lack of proper docking facilities.
The work of mooring the ship was

Eagle Boat As, who were on dusy
fE0WN Tho NT,AA ~ H. - I--z
until a late hour yesterday after
The crew also made an in
%spection of the ship and declared it
is the thing needed for quite a while
in connection with their reserve
work.
Plans are now under way to house
in the entire top deck of the boat,
moving the bridge from mid-ship up
forward. This work will require the
use of thousands of feet of lumber.
but the entire work will be done by
the officers and crews of the Local
division.
The arrival of the Newton will
make the local division the best
equipped division in New Jersey. Al
terations will be made so as to have
drilling floor on the main deck of
the shin and accommodations will
be provided for 200 men and officers.
The Newton, probably the largest
boat of its kind to visit
these waters, is 800 feet long and
thirty-five feet wide, having a ton
of 5000 tons. She is m~oderate-I
ly equipped with labor-saving de-
vices, steam power for heating
generating electricity for lights and
power for raising and lowering the
anchor.
In order that people wishing To-
visit the ship can do so easily, floats
will be placed that passage to and
the ship can be done from he
street dock. These floats
will arrive from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard in a few days.
