commander will take his way down the

or two at his discretion. He will explore
the coast waters and learn the Character
OF tactics best adapted to them, and. in
fact all information that is needed for the
guarding of the coast with such boats az

The maneuvers at first will be of the
simplest character, such as working out
the new theory of search curves by which
vessel may be intercepted with the least
amount of searching. Then the qualities
OF the various boats will be developed in

types OF craft in the flotilla and 1t is de-
sired that their good and bad points be
shown for use in future designing 1t is
fully expected that under this strain there
will be freakdowns in each and all of the
boats, and it is for the purpose of learning
and curing these defects that the maneuy-
ers are designed.
The f1otila will work slowly along tho
coast until it reaches the gulf. 1t will 60 to
