DR.. Gamow Helped Navy

After receiving his elementary eduea-

took his doctors degree at the Univer-

After lecturing at the Academy OF

there since.
During the war, DR.. Gamow did
some highly secret work for the Bureau
of Ordnance of the Navy Department,
with which he still is associated
DR.. Gamows best-known book, de-
signed for popular consumption and
recently reprinted in a modestly priced
edition, is his The Birth of the Sun"

of the highly scientific work, Structure

Camden. Capt. Gird was its owner and
Capt. Moffat its commander. The Cys-
net, Phoenix. Chesapeake, Fredericks-

other boats followed.
Capt. John Shrieve seems to have
been the first to use actual horsepower
to operate water craft on the Potomac.
His boat made regular trips between
Washington, Alexandria and George
town, stopping ut the Long Bridge and
also at Van Ness Wharf, as did other
boats of this type in the early days.
This wharf once occupied the site of
the Pan American Building, at Seven
teenth street and Constitution avenue,
close to which was also the Van Ness
mansion and David Burnes' cottage.
Approximately on line with Consti-
tuition avenue, in the city's infancy,
