AMPHITRITE,s VENTILATION
The Report Being Carefully Examined

The Report Being Carefully Examined
at the Navy Department..
A report regarding the ventilation of
the Amphitrite made by her captain and
board Of officers of that vessel, has been
received by the Navy Department and is
being carefully examined and investigated
by the different bureaus and the board on
construction. The report shows high tenn
peratures In different parts of the vessel,
especially in the fire and engine rooms,
and In the superstructure. The question
of ventilation involves not only this Ship
but all Of her class. and requires very care
full examination at the department. Act
ing Secretary McAdoo says that the de-
termination that will DE reached in the
case of the Amphitrite will go a long way
toward solving the question of ventilation
of other ships. 1t is probable that the
Amphitrite will be sent to the Norfolk
navy yard for such improvements as may
be found necessary to improve her ventila-
ton. The quarters for officers on board
the Amphftrite are almost unteaable.
