Mr.. John Roach, having found ex.
Secretary Chandler's vindicatiou in
sufficient, comes to the front himself
with lengthy catalogue of the jobs he
has done for the United States, each OF
which, it appears, was profitable for his
employer and Of little advantage to
himself.
Patriotism was his chief motive in
building ships and engines for Uncle
Sam. AS for the Dolphin, she was
built " In strict conformity with the
contract and plans CT the naval ad-
visory board" and was accepted by
| that board after fair trial."
That ends Mr.. R,ach's connection
with the unfortunate vessel. " The
question in It's present status is merely
a question OF controversy between twC
boards, one constituted according &c
law, tie other constituted by Secretary
Whitney"
