HALIFAX, May 19.-The preliminary in
vestigation into the conduct of the affairs
of the warship Garnet, for allowing Paul
Boyton to place sham torpedo under the
vessel while in New York harbor, has been
concluded. The sentry on duty has been
summarily sentenced to forty-two days
close confinement for neglecting to pre-
vent Boyton's approach to the ship and
falling to report promptly the incident.
The mld-shlpman on duty has been ac-
quilted, but Lieutenant Gardner, wh0 al
lowed Boyton to go after having him in
charge, instead of taking him as prisoner
on board the Garnet, is to be formally |
court-martialed. The general opinion !
among the blue jackets is that the sentry
having been made a scape goat, the officer
will get clear.
