USELESS WITHOUT DOCKS.

Not until the big dock a Brooklyn is
compleied-possbly a year hence-will it
be possible TO repair and care for the big
batt!cShipS on the Eastern station. Naval
officers do not hesitate to cTiticise the
Port Royal dry dock. which they declare
can only be reached by tortuouS channel,
hav wing a hard phosphate rock bottom, cal
Culated To ruin a heavy war vessel, which
might touch il. Such a channel with sand
bottom, they declare, would not bc 50 dan
gerous.
Grave doubts are also expressed at the
accuracy OF measurements as TO The dock 5
entrance. The contract called for a depth
over the entrance sill of went y-siX feet II
mean high water. Suspicion has now been
direCtei against the fundamental marks
and data upon which the mean high tide
was calculated. and doubt is expressed
whether a series of observations may not
disclose mean depth al high tide. summer
and winter q EoI over twenty-five feet.
All the hattlesilips while having a mean
designed draft Gf twenty-four feet have an
extreme draft astcrn Of twenty-five feet
with 400 tons of coal aboard and therefore
! could only get into the dock under eXccp-
tiunally favorable circumstances.
