Navy to examine and report upon the condition OF
the United States steamer Tennessee on her late
trip TO st. Domingo, have submitted their report. In

and that tho frame, being Of live OAK makes her gu.
peror to all other vessels OF her class except the
Florida, which IL Identical In construction with the
Tennessee thorough examination has proved
concuslvely that great pains taken to give the
greatest possible strength to every part OF
the Tennessee. A comparison OF her displace.
ment with her internal capacity indicates
that as regards safety no more suitable
vessel of the navy in this respect could have been
selected for the service in which she was engaged
and none that would have Afforded some space for
comfort without intruding upon the quarters Of the
0icers and crew The surface or the principal sails
was augmented nearly one third. This increase has
ADDED much TO her efficiency under canvas and
given her power TO act with safety In all weather.
Her equipment In all departments was full and CON-
pete for ell purposes.
The report goes on 70 show that the vessel was
amply furnished with all the appliances necessary

nozzles and 1,l5O feet OF hose, and TO free the
by steam. The Board finally determined that the !
Tennessee eyinced no signs OF unseaworthiness,
and proved In oil respects as staunch and perfectly
safe vessel for the duty assigned her MS ever
loated, and that she was also better adapted for
this service than any other vessel In the navy The
report Is signed by all the members OF the Board.
