COULD NOT PASS THE DRAW.
Reasons Why the Police Boat Was
Not Sent Out


Not Sent Out.
The statement made Sunday night in
reference to the drowning of the three
young men off the foot of Thirty-first
Street. that the crew of the police boat
was not required TO be on duty after 10
O'Clock at night, and that the boat was
never sent out after that hour. has caus-
ed considerable comment.
Major Sylvester defends the service by
saying that the boat could not get
through the draw of Long Bridge after
sun down, and that was the reason why
it was not sent to the scene of the drown
ing as soon as the news of the affair
reached the harbormaster.
Haroormaster Sutton makes the state
ment that he collected his crew as soon
as he was notified of the drowning, and
he and his men went Immediately to the
scene. They hired a boat with money
from their private means. and worked
all night in their efforts to recover the
bodies of the missing men.
An injustice had been done the haroor-
master. Major Sylvester says, and ne
thinks some reparation is due him. Con-
gress has several times. been asked TO
increase the number of men on the boat,
but little attention has been given the
matter.
