ROOSEVELT TAKES A CRUISE
His Interesting Description of a
Trip on the Pcrter.
Very Much Pleased With the Man.
ner In Which the Torpedo
Boat Is Handled.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has made
his official report to the Secretary OF the
Navy Of the trip he took on the Porter.
In his usual independent manner of doing
things, Mr Roosevelt declined to follow
the old pedantic style of making reports,
and as a result has furnished some inter-
esting reading matter, which Is as follows
"On reaching Bridgeport found that
the trial OF the Nashville had been de-
ferred on account or the weather, and,
instead OF returning by train thought L
would take che opportunity for run ON
the torpedo boat Porter or course, they
had no knowledge that she would be
needed, but In eight minutes from the
time word was given she was under way
1--WE crossed the sound to Oyster Bay
In fifteen minutes, going at an average
speed of 25 knots. It was like riding a
high-mettled horse. In spite OF the great
speed, the action was wonderfully smooth
Even over the stern there was very little
iarring or vibration When at high speed
her bow lifted slightly from the water, as
Sue seemed to travel best In this trim.
There was no bow wave, and W hen we
got out OF shoal water hardly any stern
wave. Altogether I was delighted with
her. While sitting on the bow looked at
the mark where she struck the dock the
other day. OF course, with these torpedo
boats, their frailty is part OF the very es-
sence or their being The qualities which
it is essential they should possess are con-
ditioned upon their structure being OF the
lightest possible type; and it is out OF the
question to hope that organisms so deli
cate will not necessarily suffer now and
then from unavoidable mishaps. In this
particular instance, however. there was
practically no damage whatever.
BOATS so delicate, which, to be handled
effectuatly must be handled with great
daring, necessarily run great risks, and
their commanders must OF course. realize
that a prerequisitet to successfully handling
them is the willingness to run such risks
That they Will observe proper precautions
tant that our officers should handle these
boats with dash and daring than that the
boats should be kept unscratched
''There must be developed in the men
who handle them that mixture Of skill
and daring which can only be obtained IL
the boats are habituaIly used under cIrcum-
stances which trnplythe risk or an accident
"The business ofta naval officer is one
which. above all others, needs daring
and deciGaon, and tf he must err on either
side the nation can best afford to have
him err on the side of too much daring
rather than too much caution -
