New Shells Badly Injured in Transit

The two shells presented to the University boat club by W. C. Baylies '84 and S. Shillito '79 were injured in shipment form England on the steamship Georgian. During a storm one of the life boats broke loose and fell upon the box containing the shells, breaking off four feet of the stern of the eight-oar and crushing the bow of the four-oar. It cannot be ascertained whether there is any further damage until an examination is made by the insurance officers.
