trip of the Columbia. In fact. the cruiser
Blenheim, on whicn the British plume

The Secretary of the Navy, Washington:
Sandy Hook light ship 80 today. Aver

knots. Whole run under natural draught.
Twenty-six hours of fog, but no delay
therefrom.
(Signed) SUMNER.
In reply Tr. McAdoo sent Captain
Sumner the following message:
WASHINGTON, August I'd.
Sumner, U. S. S. Columbia, care of Com.
mandant Navy Yard, Brooklyn
The department. tenders to you. orc
and men of the Columbia, its congratu-
lations on the result of the run from the
Needles to Sandy Hook lightship. thus
making an unexampled record for a war
ship. M'ADOO,
Acting Secretary.
The department was surprised to find
that Captain Sumner did not make an
effort to run the ship under forced
draught for the last twenty-four hours
OF the trip. lie was especially instructed
to do this. When the Columbia was
ready to leave Southampton she had in
her bunkers and slowed elsewhere abuard

American line steamships on their west

had carried. 1t is possible Captain Sum-
ner Will belcalled on to explain why he
failed to obey instructions to that effect,
although ii is assumed that the lacE of
coal will account for the omission.
