A fracture of her shaft delays the formal acceptance from the contractor. After receiving her arma ment and stores, she will undergo a further trial in Narragansett Bay, under the system lately adopted by the Department.

It has been shown that our steel-makers can readily furnish this excel lent structural material ia large quantities, and its high quality has been assured by the tests adopted.
