August Bird Notes. 



On August 12, 1905, a companion and 

 1 secured a batteau at our boathouse 

 at Richmond, Philadelphia, and rowed 

 down the river to South Camden, N. J,, 

 a distance of about ten miles, to wit- 

 ness the launching of the battleship 

 Kansas at the New York shipyard. 

 We left at 10 o'clock in the morning 

 and just reached the "yard" in time 

 to see the huge ship glide majestical- 

 ly from the ways into the Delaware. 

 It was launched on high water at 12:48 

 o'clock and was christened by the 

 daughter of the Governor of Kansas 

 with a bottle of water, as all ships 

 should be christened.
