The new secretary of the navy, Whitney,
had scarcely assumed the duties of the office
when he found, as he claimed, just reason to
reject the Dolphin for alleged serious faults
in her hull and works. Inspection of the
three other vessels by board of
naval officers, under his direction,
brought on almost similar results.
1t looked for time, too, as if in addition to
this, the government meant to prosecute
Roach with a view to forcing a return Of all
money paid out of the treasury by the former
administration on account Of these boats By
some understanding Roach made an assign
ment and the new secretary stepped in with
the naval advisory board and a number of
engineers from the United States navy to
complete the work that Roach had COM
menced. The enormous workshops which
had remained idle during the controversy be-
tween Roach and Whitney, were again set in
motion, and great force of men are now
busily engaged in all the departments push
ing the work to a finish as rapidly as possible.

was sometimes not room for them in the or

such times gallant Judge Gary invited
several of them to sit beside him on the

listened with grave faces to the testimony.

AT Chester, Pa, on the Delaware river, a

famed shipyard of John Roach IS situated.
In this yard the Dolphin was constructed and
was subsequently refused by the new admins
tration as unfit for the United States navy,
for which she had heen built by Roach under
a contract with the former administration.
The original contract called for the construc-
ton of five powerful steel cruisers, or gun
boats, designed to replace some of the old
craft in the navy that had become unfit for
use. The Puritan was built first and upon
the plan of n monitor. After her the Allan

whose build was more in the nature of dis
