"As the defense Of Delaware bay must
be regarded IS OF prime Importance, the
development OF an efficient naval militia
In the States Of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware becomes practically
a national question as well as e state
necessity. The defense Of the pay

the knowledge necessary for hanuiing
the vessels and weapons suitable for
